Single Family Residence In Sunset

Originally constructed in 2003, this Neal Prince & Partners architectural masterpiece incorporates River Bend Timber Framing elements, glass, and exquisite interior details, blending modern design with mountain lake charm. Extensively renovated in 2016 with over $2 million in enhancements, this impeccably maintained residence exudes elevated mountain modern luxury from the very first impression. Situated on a quiet cove with expansive Lake Keowee views, the gently sloping lot offers wheelchair-accessible paths to the water’s edge and a custom 12,500-lb lift boathouse. The 2016 renovation and expansion added additional bedrooms, an office, a custom elevator serving all three floors, and extensive exterior hardscape and landscape improvements. A paver driveway leads to a grand entry framed by hand-carved timber beams and stone pillars illuminated by wrought-iron sconces. The solid wood entry door introduces an interior defined by craftsmanship and character. Inside, the open-concept living and dining areas embrace sweeping lake vistas, while vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a stacked-stone fireplace create a warm yet dramatic gathering space. Throughout, cedar, hickory, pine, and mahogany lend natural richness and texture. The kitchen is a showpiece of form and function, featuring vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows, warm custom cabinetry, and a massive granite island with seating for six. High-end Thermador appliances include double wall ovens, a warming drawer, and a gas cooktop, complemented by a walk-in pantry and adjoining wet bar with wine cooler and refrigerator drawers. The keeping room offers a cozy dining nook, fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling window framing the lake beyond. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, dual closets, and an adjoining laundry area. Upstairs, a guest suite and office (which may serve as a fifth bedroom) are joined by a loft currently used as a music room, where timbered ceilings provide remarkable acoustics. The artisan staircase by Heirloom Iron Works unites all levels with polished mahogany rails and custom iron pickets. The lower level features a spacious recreation room with stone fireplace, coffered ceilings, and wide-plank flooring, opening to a lakefront patio. A full second kitchen with custom cabinetry, paneled refrigerator, and gas range offers convenience for entertaining or extended stays. Two additional guest suites and a second two-car garage complete this level, joining the main-level two-car garage for a total of four. Outdoor living is exceptional. The expansive lot features terraced flower beds, a flagstone path to the water, and an extraordinary lakeside pavilion with full outdoor kitchen—fireplace, granite island, TEC infrared grill, gas cooktop, deep fryer, refrigerator drawers, dishwasher, and retractable sun and wind shades. A drop-down TV, surround sound, and heaters allow year-round enjoyment. Nearby, a bathhouse with shower adds convenience for days on the lake. Meticulous care is evident throughout this home. The renovation included top-of-the-line Trane HVAC systems, a new roof, and updated exterior paint. Architectural plans and a complete maintenance record convey with the property, reflecting the thoughtful stewardship of the current owners. The love, care and appreciation for this home by the current owners is second to none.
