Lightwood Road is one of the most sought-after addresses on Lake Hartwell. You will be just 5 minutes from shopping and restaurants in the town of Hartwell. The approach to the property coming out the Lightwood peninsula is breathtaking. This better-than-new home would make a spectacular second home, but also has everything you could need for full-time living. As you turn into the property, you will notice that the grounds are beautifully landscaped. There is a flat driveway with extra parking and a two car garage. The flagstone front porch welcomes you to the home, and as you open the front door, all of Lake Hartwell stretches out before you. The great room has vaulted ceilings and a natural stone fireplace. The great room is open to the kitchen and breakfast area and adjacent to the formal dining room. The master suite is on the main level and opens to the covered porch with Ipe decking, and the porch is also accessible from the great room. Downstairs, there is a huge rec room, three bedrooms (2 lakefront), and two full baths, one of which is a jack and jill bathroom. There is also a large storage room on the lower level. If all of this isn't enough, the bonus room over the garage is perfect for an office, exercise room or a bunk room for the kids/grandkids. Paired with this delightful house is an open view of one of the lake's main channels, and you will have a short, flat, grassy walk to the max-size, two-slip dock.
