Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the expansive living area with natural light while showcasing breathtaking views of the backyard pool. Set against the picturesque backdrop of South Carolina’s Lake Keowee, this nearly 5,000-square-foot lakeside retreat offers the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation, from fishing and swimming to boating and unwinding in style.

While spacious at four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the home maintains an inviting, tranquil charm. My client loves color, modern design, and mixing vintage with a midcentury aesthetic. That vision shaped the design—giving the home a modern aesthetic with vivid accents in every room, whether through artwork, pillows, rugs, or fabrics. Many homes in the area lean toward neutral palettes, but we embraced color to make a statement.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed great room, seamlessly integrating the living room, kitchen, and breakfast area, with a second-floor office loft overlooking the space. Thoughtfully curated with bold hues and a contemporary edge, this lakeside escape is as visually dynamic as it is serene.
