When exceptional architecture, custom craftsmanship, and thoughtful interior design come together, the result is something truly special. Nestled within the emerald-green waters of a quiet protected cove in Old Edwards Reserve at Lake Keowee, 117 E Fort George Way is a remarkable waterfront retreat offering breathtaking wide-water views, exceptional privacy, and a level of luxury and sophistication rarely found on the lake. Originally constructed by renowned Glenwood Builders, the home underwent a complete reimagination in 2022 through a comprehensive renovation led by The Berry Group, with interiors professionally designed and furnished by Fowler Interiors. The result is a turnkey residence where timeless lakefront architecture seamlessly blends with modern comfort, technology, and design. One of the property's most captivating features is the spectacular bridge spanning a professionally engineered waterfall, creating an unforgettable connection between the home's living spaces. The soothing sounds of cascading water can be enjoyed from multiple rooms, outdoor living areas, and private decks. Inside, every detail was thoughtfully curated. The renovation included a complete redesign of the kitchen, bar, and living spaces, featuring custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, designer finishes, new flooring, and carefully selected furnishings. Expansive windows frame panoramic lake views and fill the home with natural light. The main level features a spacious primary suite with a luxurious bath and dressing room, along with a custom wainscot-paneled office capturing stunning lake views. Designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the residence offers multiple gathering spaces across three levels. Two guest suites occupy the upper floor, while a three-story elevator provides convenient access throughout the home. The lower level serves as an entertainment retreat with a sophisticated wet bar, recreation area, and private movie theater. A covered walkway across the waterfall leads to a guest cabana and bunk room, providing additional accommodations. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Eight decks and terraces offer countless opportunities to relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty. The primary covered outdoor living area features oversized fans, heaters, and generous gathering spaces. Landscape design by Dabney Collins complements the natural setting, while a lower-level patio with a fireplace and grilling area creates another inviting space for entertaining. Situated in one of Lake Keowee's most desirable protected coves, the property offers calm waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and floating while maintaining expansive lake views. A gentle walk leads to the private dock featuring a 20,000-pound boat lift, Swim-Easy staircase, integrated audio, custom lighting, reinforced pylons, and ample storage. A paver cart path extends from the oversized three-car garage to the dock, with an included Polaris side-by-side providing convenient access. Technology enhancements include gigabit fiber internet connected to a commercial-grade Ruckus wireless system, seamless Wi-Fi coverage including the dock, an 11-zone Sonos audio system, Control4 integration, a 45kW Generac generator, dual Navien tankless water heaters, whole-home filtration, smart irrigation, Hunter Douglas shades, Flow by Moen leak detection, EV charging capability, climate-controlled garage space with epoxy floors, custom storage, and extensive landscape lighting. Meticulously maintained by a full-time property manager and upgraded at every level, this extraordinary Lake Keowee residence offers a rare opportunity to own a furnished, turnkey waterfront retreat where breathtaking views, sophisticated design, and cutting-edge technology combine to create an exceptional lakefront lifestyle.
MAGNIFICENT is the word that comes to mind for this private home, from the views to entertaining spaces to outdoor living. One of The Reserve’s finest homes exudes elegance and luxury!!! Enjoy wide open views of Lake Keowee from this premier homesite, starting as you enter the driveway and continuing all the way to the lakeshore. Just imagine: enjoy your morning coffee at sunrise on a spring morning from the screened porch; float and laugh with your family off the dock on a summer afternoon; bask in the light of a harvest moon on a fall evening by the fire pit. And at all times you’ll be taking in the open lake views, and relaxing to the peaceful sounds of the waterfall. Entertain family and friends on three levels, all offering varied experiences. The main floor, full of natural light from the large view windows, is the heart of the home. In the well-appointed cook’s kitchen, guests will sit at the island, enjoying one another’s company. Brunch or dinner in the dining area will have everyone mesmerized by the lake. If a relaxing evening is on the menu, retire to the living room to enjoy a movie, or to the study to sit by the fire and curl up with a book. The master suite also offers incredible views, a private porch, comfortable spaces, and utmost privacy. The lower level offers a media space by the fireplace, a theater, and a luxurious bar area. If privacy is important to your guests, there is a cozy, en suite guest house connected to the lower level as well. And on the upper floor, you’ll find a common sitting area adjacent to two guest bedrooms, also en suite. This lovely home provides plenty of comfortable spaces, while maximizing expansive views of Lake Keowee. It’s the perfect respite, offering relaxation and serenity. And it is only a short drive to the vibrant amenities of The Reserve - including golf, marina, fitness center, clubhouse, pools, walking trails…. and so much more!!!
