This timeless, Summerour-designed, Precision Builders crafted lake house marries classic European architectural elements with a relaxed lake atmosphere. Located on a quiet lane near the Vineyards’ entrance, its gravel turning court provides a unique foreground to the heavily fenestrated entry area, which welcomes natural light, denizens and guests alike. The serenity of the woodland setting is accentuated by thoughtfully arranged outdoor areas, stone patios, blue stone flooring, decking, and window placements, while principal living areas encircle a fine great room fireplace with raised hearth fireplace on the kitchen side.

Here, custom cabinets, fixtures, and a supremely functional cooking area are prettily accented with Delft-tiled backsplash and top-of-the-line appliances. Handsome reclaimed heart pine and hardwood flooring, a surplus of custom wood paneling, built-in bookcases and shelving, and the numerous delectations for which Summerour is known are in abundance. A screened porch off the living room and stone terrace beyond extend options for entertaining or relaxation.

The master suite is private yet conveniently situated. A further main level bedroom with en suite bathroom is presently a fine home office, library/sitting room, while two bedrooms and one bath are located above. A self-contained guest suite/coach house over the garage might serve a wide variety of purposes, and is accessed by a dedicated exterior door and stairs.

The grounds are lovingly planted, incorporating both indigenous and imported shrubs and perennials. A stone path winds beneath a canopy of mixed woodland to the covered boat slip on a quiet cove just off the desirable “bowl” area of Lake Keowee, in calm, emerald-green swimming waters. Classic, comfortable, sophisticated and compelling, this entrancing 4+ bedroom, 4-1/2 bath, 4200 sq ft residence is sure to satisfy those who value tasteful living in one of Lake Keowee’s premier communities.
