121 Running Bear Lane

FULLY FURNISHED, MOVE IN READY! 1 million dollar re-model! A meandering, private, newly poured concrete drive lined with evergreens sets the stage for this north Lake Keowee custom home setting. 121 Running Bear Ln is located in the Shallowford on Keowee community, easily accessible to highway 11 and the town of Pickens and Clemson. Constructed in 2007, and significantly upgraded by the current owners in 2024, this 5181 sq ft, 5 bedroom, 4 full plus 2 half bath home is situated on a gently sloping lakefront point with a very rare masonry sea wall protecting the entire shoreline that can’t be duplicated today.

The home site will more than satisfy those looking for premier Lake Keowee waterfront, while the landscape and hardscape improvements provide ultimate privacy and visual delight. The open and inviting main floor is ideal for entertaining, with the spacious kitchen over-flowing and open to the dining and great room. The entire space benefits from large Anderson windows showcasing the lake. Hand hewn timbers frame the soaring wood clad spaces in the welcoming great room and nearby retra-screen porch with wood burning fireplace (four in total - two inside, two exterior), also overlooking the lake. This extensive outdoor living area (1,000 sq ft) is easily accessible from the dining, kitchen and great room and provides a peaceful and relaxing escape from the day’s activities or comfort on cool winter evenings. The kitchen opens to a separate grilling deck with Zuri composite decking and convenient access to a garage fit for only the finest vehicles and haberdashery. Rounding out the main level is a generously sized principle bedroom with lake views, walk-in closets and an en-suite bath. The terrace area completes the home’s relaxation component with another fireplace, tv, billiards, and wet bar area with wine cooler and refrigerator.

Two additional spacious guest rooms with en-suite baths assures complete comfort for those out-of-town visitors, while a fifth bedroom (or office area) has been created in a previously unfinished space that has plumbing available in a closet should one wish to convert that space to a fifth bedroom or bunk area. Completely up-to-date, including new engineered flooring throughout, solid Ash wood doors, furniture style quality built-in cabinets, granite counters, expansive ensuite baths with double vanities, LED lighting, all new mechanical, new appliances (Wolf and Sub Zero), interior paint and stain, exterior paint, new roof, Ipe dock with standing seam roof and boat lift, extensive hardscape, professional landscaping, and the list goes on.

While you may never care to leave the home’s interior, a lighted stone path leads one away from the terrace area only a short distance to the aforementioned fully equipped covered slip dock. The dock location is set out of view in a quiet cove location, while the home’s siting benefits from longer lake views through the bottom of a deciduous forest canopy.

Enjoy peaceful evenings in the hot tub or relaxing on your dock, paddling or swimming in the emerald green waters of a Lake Keowee cove. Shallowford on Lake Keowee is comprised of only a few properties in a convenient yet secluded location on the lake’s highly desirable and sought after north end.
