Extraordinary openness, vaulted ceilings, rustic elements, walls of windows, a wood burning fireplace, attached garage, finished lower level, excellent water — No, I’m not just listing the top criteria among buyers of Lake Hartwell waterfront homes. These are all features of the exceptional home located at 213 Riverlake Rd. The post and beam construction style used by Lindal Cedar Homes allows an unparalleled level of openness to be achieved, and it must be seen in person to be appreciated! Through the foyer, you enter a massive great room with a stacked stone fireplace that stretches all the way up to the lofty wood ceiling, along with tile flooring that continues into the kitchen, sun room, and laundry room. The kitchen features maple cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, a large island with glass cooktop, wall oven and microwave, and hidden trash can. Also located on the main level is the large master suite, which has a separate sitting area overlooking the lake, two walk-in closets, and a bathroom with double vanities, walk-in shower, and jetted tub. On the lower level, you’ll find a family room with kitchenette area, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an office (window but no closet), and an additional storage room with outdoor access. There is a waterproof lower level patio and a detached back yard deck before you reach the covered dock. Along with an aluminum frame and ironwood decking, the dock is equipped with a boat lift, wheeled gangwalk, and storage box. The shoreline is rip rapped and has excellent water – the sellers state that they have only had to move the dock a few times since building the house! This property is located in a restricted subdivision with other high quality homes, just minutes off I-85 at exit 4.
