About This Home

As of April 2021

A special find in this fabulous lakeview cottage. This is a one-of-a-kind and can't be missed! Super convenient location in an elevated setting on Lake Keowee. A low maintenance retreat with large lakeside picture windows that give 180-degree water views all year long. Open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living combined for an entertainment friendly design. This cottage comes furnished with several luxury upgrades over the standard model and is decorated with a comfortable, cheery lake feel. A true get-away experience. This special offering features hardwood floors and plantation shutters throughout the living area with accent wainscoting. Both baths have a spa-like marble shower with frameless glass door, custom decorative vanity cabinet, easy maintenance granite counters and ceramic tile floor. The kitchen offers glass front cabinets, stainless appliances (a brand new dishwasher), granite counters and a pantry. The washer and dryer are also less than a year old and the interior of the cottage was just painted February 2021. There is a large electric awning that covers a lakeside paver patio, this feature is unique to only a handful of units and is grandfathered here but no longer permitted elsewhere. A permanent staircase leads to the loft for a safe, easy entry. It is a great space for additional sleeping quarters or climate controlled storage. The designated parking is also just outside the front door of this amazing retreat. A short level walk from the car to the door for added convenience on rainy days, carrying loads of groceries and comfort of guests. Community amenities include a fabulous lakefront lodge and swimming pool, marina, beach, fitness room and walking trails. HOA includes landscaping maintenance, private gated community, water, sewer, trash service, pool, clubhouse, walking trails, fitness center and more. **! BUYERS NOTE: This is a private gated community. Gate is monitored with no public access. Entry requires agent representation. No rentals allowed less than a 12 month term. !** Modified tax structure add to the savings of this remarkable Lake Keowee buy.
