South Carolina, Anderson County, Townville, USA

MAGNIFICENT is an understatement! This premier property is absolutely one of a kind, encompassing a very gently-sloped 2.8 acre point lot with 700’ of riprapped shoreline. It’s possibly the best lakefront presence on the shores of Lake Hartwell, and arguably the best lot on ANY upstate lake! Located in a gated community, the location cannot be rivaled for convenience: under 5 minutes to supermarkets, under 5 minutes to I-85, 10 minutes to Anderson shopping, under 20 minutes to Clemson University (20 by boat!), about 35 minutes to Greenville and under 1.5 hours to northeast Atlanta! Only 4 years old, this home was designed to include the absolute best of everything. As you approach the home, you might be speechless! Golfers will spot the perfect putting green, right on the front lawn. The exterior finishes include white Hardie Artisan siding, a standing-seam dark charcoal metal roof, and custom handmade black shutters – a facade which brings to mind a historic southern estate home. The front porch is welcoming; fun Charleston joggling boards flank the front door. As you enter the foyer, the open plan allows immediate panoramic views of the lake through the rear windows and doors. This home is SO full of natural light in every room. Antique, reclaimed heart pine floors are present throughout both main and upper levels. The soaring 12’ ceilings definitely make a statement. The roomy living area is incredibly inviting. You’ll envision relaxing after a fun summer day on the lake, or watching the big game on a fall afternoon. The fireplace surround features handmade and solid brick (Old Carolina) and custom shelving. Massive sliding doors open this room up to the lakefront covered veranda, and from there, it’s a very easy walk down to the double decker/double slip dock. Adjacent to the living area, the amazing cook’s kitchen will have family and friends motivated to help with a gourmet meal. All appliances are top of the line Viking, custom cabinets soar toward the ceiling, and the large farmhouse sink adds the perfect touch. Above the cooktop, the backsplash also features handmade brick. There is a breakfast area in the kitchen that overlooks the lake, and just steps away from kitchen (and just off the foyer) is a stunning dining room with plenty of room to seat all your guests. Turn the corner and you will find a beautiful, functional butler’s pantry/scullery that includes another farmhouse sink and the second dishwasher! Also adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find a walk-in pantry, access to the 3-car garage, and a soundproof media room. Turn the volume up without disturbing others! Beyond the media room is an exercise room overlooking the lake. The master bedroom suite is also on the main level, and is located opposite this area, ensuring owner privacy. Not only does this luxurious bedroom have fabulous lake views, but the suite features his & her walk-in closets and his & her baths….incredible! The large laundry room and the main level powder room are both located close by. Take the staircase or the elevator to the second level, where you will find 4 bedrooms, 10’ ceilings, and the same superb finishes as the main level. Two bedrooms have a Jack & Jill setup; there are also two ensuite bedrooms, one of which is ADA compliant. Three bedrooms facing the lake all have doors which access the shared balcony. In addition to everything included within the main home, there is also a 1,000 square foot carriage house above a detached two car garage. This space has a vaulted living area, full-size kitchen, two bedrooms, one bath, and a porch overlooking the lake. It’s the perfect spot for an in-law or guest suite. In total, this estate includes over 6,000 interior square feet with 7 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, and about 1200 sf of covered porches! The owners also totally renovated an outbuilding, transforming it to a heated greenhouse with a small fenced area to keep pets in or deer out.
