Your lake life starts here at 143 East Waterford Drive in the established Crescent community of Waterford on Lake Keowee. Large open water protected by several undeveloped islands for an untouched natural lakescape. Merely five minutes from the grocery store, you can retreat down this long private drive to your very own haven on the water. Picture windows span across the lakeside. Oak flooring spans across the living area anchored with a gas fireplace and textured ship lap for architectural interest. The kitchen was modernized in 2024 with new quartzite counters, backsplash and appliances. Enjoy induction cooking, with natural gas available. There is plenty of room for twenty-plus family members and guests comfortably seated in a spacious gathering area. If you care to expand the dining space, or simply gaze at the water a little closer, meander to the all season porch. With double doors on both sides, joining the entire living area is a breeze. Have the advantage of sliding panels that easily convert from screened to sunporch windows for enjoyment all year long. A stone wood-burning fireplace, skylight and grill deck finish out this mountain lake setting. Benefit from an irreplaceable openness in this property, spanning across 200+ feet of shoreline with a yard that offers purposeful trees without any obstruction. To finish out the other half of the main level, there are two bedrooms and two full baths. Both sleeping areas offer long, open lake views. The primary suite is at the end of the hall furnished with retractable shades to start your morning with a simple click of a button. The primary bath was also modernized in 2024 offering heated tile floors and towel bars. Dual walk-in closets bridge across the entire length of the room. The terrace level features a second recreation room with a third fireplace and more expansive picture windows along the lakeside. It's rare to find a lake home with the same sweeping lake view on both levels. There is a second ensuite at the end of the hall with a fourth guest bedroom and fourth full bath in the hall. At the opposite end is what most would categorize as the bunkroom or dormitory. Hear the giggles from this huge sleeping space as family and friends tell their stories throughout the night. A small bar area, great for boardgames and snacks off the lake is tucked in the corner of a combined movie and game room. Walk outside onto the flagstone patio without any steps or stairs across the entire lakeside of the home. This beautiful setting gets even better at dusk as the lakeside lighting accents the outdoors. The covered slip dock was installed by Kroeger Marine in 2021 and features a boat lift, personal watercraft lift and extended walkway for the assurance of safe diving and lake play. Situated in a private bay, this swim area is protected from the main channel and frequently greeted by a community duck or two. Miscellaneous features include a three-bay garage, workbench shop space and potential hook-up for an expanded terrace level kitchen, second laundry and also a lakeside bath. Merely fifteen minutes from Clemson University and less than an hour to Greenville SC. Welcome home to Lake Keowee!
