First time on the market, this exceptional custom-built lakefront home is a rare offering in the gated community of Santee Cooper Resort on Lake Marion. Designed to showcase sweeping big-water views, the home is filled with dramatic architectural details, including soaring ceilings and walls of picture windows that flood the space with natural light. The main level is both elegant and functional, featuring hardwood floors throughout, a stunning foyer, formal dining room, library, wet bar, breakfast room, and a beautifully appointed kitchen. The owner's suite is also on the main level and offers direct access to a walkout balcony, perfect for morning coffee overlooking the lake. A sunroom opens to the outdoors, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living, while the charming front courtyard adds privacy and curb appeal. Upstairs, plush white carpeting leads to three spacious bedrooms, offering incredible flexibility. The water-front bedroom features a private en-suite and could easily serve as a second primary or in-law suite, complete with an exclusive balcony. The two bedrooms on the front side of the home, share a jack-and-Jill style bath. The far-right bedroom is connected to a large, finished room over the garage-ideal for a private dressing room, exercise space, sewing room, or office. The full walkout basement expands the living space dramatically and is perfect for guests or multi-generational living. It includes a second kitchen, a bathroom with laundry hookup, a large bedroom with walk-in closet, an additional bedroom, built-in bookshelves, living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious game room with sliding glass doors that open to a covered patio. Step outside to your refinished private dock and enjoy direct access to Lake Marion. Residents of Santee Cooper Resort enjoy access to golf, swimming pool, tennis courts, and the peace of mind of a gated community. This is lake living at its finest-custom craftsmanship, flexible living spaces, and unforgettable views!
