12052 Carnelda Drive

Truly a one of a kind, “check all the boxes” listing at Keowee! This right sized 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath single level home on a point with 180 degree lake views and covered dock is positioned on a near level slope to the water with the property ownership of 218 feet of shoreline extending to the 800 contour line, the lake’s full pond.

Extremely lightly restricted and quiet Captain’s Cove community offers no provisions against short-term renting giving the option to offset the cost of ownership through rental income. The home is positioned in a cul-de-sac within this small community on the west side of the lake near the main channel. This modernized and renovated ranch revival style plan enjoys lake views from most every room, including two of the three bedrooms.

The lake views are immediate as you enter the drive toward the front approach of the home. Water views welcome you through the front door entry and bay windows with covered porch featuring vaulted tongue and groove ceilings into the foyer. This home was renovated not as a “flip” property but with the intent to enjoy upgrades for many years to come.

The entire rear elevation of the home has been given a large increase in views through floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows and sliding glass doors. Each element of the renovation was carefully selected and crafted starting with the gourmet kitchen featuring all stainless steel Kitchen-Aid Signature Series appliances including a built in icemaker and marble countertops. The 7 foot marble island creates a wonderful working space near to the gas range featuring built in griddle, wall mount oven and microwave with the island also accommodating 3 bar stools for dining while still enjoying Keowee views.

The entertainment spaces are abundant in this “right-sized” 2500+/- square foot open floor plan with a completely renovated half bath off the kitchen. Dining options include the eat-in kitchen space perpendicular to the island, formal dining area currently used as an office, and plentiful outdoor options on the Trex composite deck and side covered porch featuring tongue and groove ceilings, ready to be screened. Connecting to the eat in kitchen is a living room with stone (gas connection) fireplace.

The formal living connects to the sitting room featuring 3 sides of floor to ceiling windows and glass door entry to the back deck. The game room connects back with formal living and offers floor to ceiling views as well and sliding door entry to the deck. The master suite has some of the longest views out towards the south end main channel and the home's eastern exposure provides the experience of outrageous sunrises.

The master suite has been modernized with a bath renovation including marble vanity, tile and glass shower with marble seat and connection in to the walk-in closet. The second bedroom also includes a peaceful lake view of the cove waters and has been updated along with the third bedroom which both make use of the hall bath under renovation at 90% completion. Room for lake toys and storage can be found in the 2 car garage with back door access towards the water side and additional storage available in the spacious laundry room.

One of the best features of this property is the spacious, level, and grassy backyard perfect for lakeside cornhole and volleyball matches. Just a few wide plank steps off the back deck give easy access to an unencumbered, near flat walk to the water. The sellers had planned to continue their renovations with an addition continuing off the left side of the home as well as a detached garage so there is room within the .

803 acres to add on. This property is a perfect suit for a second home, vacation rental, or those looking for that “right sized” or downsize property.
