140 Long Ridge Road is the epitome of mountain lake style ...a welcoming, comfortable home, designed and situated in concert with its natural surroundings. The residence is designed with thoughtful landscaping enhancements to achieve great curb appeal, privacy, and the ability to witness the beauty surrounding you each day, including great views of the Par 3 12th green and tee of The Reserve at Lake Keowee's Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. - Designed by the renowned architectural firm Garrell & Associates, the floor plan was also conceived to appropriately separate private personal and social spaces, while organizing more social areas to promote seamless entertaining flow, providing family and guests with a variety of areas for conversation and other activities. - As you enter the tongue and groove wood ceiling foyer, it's impossible to not recognize the welcoming environment. - The interior also boasts a dining area and lodge room with numerous features of note: commanding stone fireplace, high-reaching windows, and wood-planked cathedral ceiling with rustic gable beams. These spaces flow naturally to the kitchen and eat-in breakfast area with adjoining screened porch and the keeping room to create a totally integrated social core for any gathering, large or small. The chef's kitchen, complete with commercial grade appliances and displaying white cabinetry juxtaposed against an embellished, celery glazed island and range hood, is the center point between the adjacent bay-windowed breakfast room and a board and batten walled wood-paneled keeping room with fireplace makes this a perfect gathering place of cozy relaxation while watching your favorite show. A beverage bar with copper sink occupies one corner. Exterior doors open to a screened porch with built-in grill and an elegantly curved rear deck. Near the garage entrance, a mud room includes a convenient, locker-style storage bench and generous laundry with sink and extensive cabinetry. The main-level master (separated from the other main level bedrooms) is accented with a tray ceiling and golf course views and accesses the rear deck. A graceful, barrel-vaulted ceiling overhangs the sublimely tranquil en-suite bath, which incorporates both his and hers vanities and closets, center-set jetted tub, and large double shower. The residence has four additional bedrooms plus a bunk room, two on the main level and two on the lower (which are joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath). - The Terrace level features replica antique hardwood flooring throughout and a dramatic bar of reclaimed wood, wrapped around a kitchenette with unique pebble backsplash. - A family room with fireplace, together with a connected, expansive, and window-lined social/game open area, creates space for gatherings and games. Rubber flooring and a mirrored wall equip an exercise room that is tucked into one side of the lower level. Abundant storage is found in both finished and unfinished areas. The 1.27-acre site is as beautifully groomed as the course, with lofty pines providing a self-perpetuating blanket of straw that abuts areas of lush lawn. Scattered magnolias give the perfect portion of Southern Charm. The home's stone and shingle-siding exterior blends flawlessly into this setting outside, a rear covered terrace, and, beyond, a stone fire pit with bench seating, furnish a natural zone for entertaining. This thoughtfully designed and masterfully crafted home is sure to provide years of relaxing enjoyment.
