248 Bay View Drive

There are expansive views and then there are views from Blue Skye (lovingly named by the current owners). As you wind up Bay View Dr. you know you're going to see something special, but upon arrival you're reminded that it gets better and better every time. The views of the northern section of Lake Keowee are beautiful, but when framed by the panoramic mountains, including the gorges of Lake Jocassee, well, that's exceptional. The open decks and large screened porch provide various opportunities to entertain a crowd or relax quietly and soak up the best the area has to offer. Just imagine being on the screened porch grilling dinner with your favorite people relaxing and enjoying the incredible views after a great day out on the lake...it just doesn't get much better! One of the other great advantages to owning a home on the north end of Keowee is the easy access to Lake Jocassee, endless hiking and waterfalls, and Highlands or Cashiers NC for shopping and dining. This home comes with deeded rights to it's own boat slip (#3 ) in the gated community of Bay Ridge so you can keep your boat in the water year round. If you decide you want to take the boat to Lake Jocassee for the day, you'll love being able to use the private community boat ramp right next to your boat slip--you can enjoy all that both Keowee and Jocassee have to offer in the same day! This home has a flat motor court so parking is easy for you, friends, and family. The main level is open and the stone fireplace, wood walls and exposed beams are the perfect reminder that you are on vacation--but not too over the top. There's a renovated owner's suite with huge walk in tile shower and either his/her walk-in closets or one can be used as a small office/study as the current owner's use while there during the week. The lower level provides an additional 2 "view side" bedrooms, a flex/bunk room (no window), large full bath, rec room and laundry room. There's an additional large storage room, with outside entrance, on the lower level that's perfect for lake toys, leaf blower, etc. This home is the perfect lake/mountain home. Many upgrades and updates made during current ownership including:

New roof 4/2022, deck and storage room addition, granite in kitchen, paving and hardscape, upstairs bathroom renovations, outdoor kitchen, interior and exterior and more.
