Welcome to your new home in Waterside Crossing, considered one of the very best Crescent Communities on Lake Keowee. 426 E. Waterside Drive is a custom home situated on approximately 228 feet of lake Keowee shoreline that features a gentle walk to your own covered dock. This home offers amazing water views as you enter the front door from the covered front porch that extends the length of the house. A well thought out wall of windows showcases Lake Keowee. The dining room with its Plantation blinds opens to the Great room with vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, custom built-in cabinets, fireplace, and sweeping views of the lake. Imagine walking through this living and entertaining space with the well-connected spaces allowing for large, family and friends gathering around the casual dining area and kitchen. A "Cook's Kitchen" features the coveted central island, large walk-in pantry, contrasting cabinetry, granite counters with ample cabinets, a gas cooktop, double ovens (there is always a need for double ovens!), and prep sink. The bay window features a window seat, and ambient cabinet lighting creates a wonderful and inviting gathering space. The dishwasher is raised for easy loading and unloading. A warming drawer is an easy way to keep your food warm but not overcooked. The French doors lead to the deck which has a gas hook up for your grill and faces Lake Keowee and your covered dock. The patio below the deck is protected by an "under-deck system" that keeps the area protected from the rain and allows you to enjoy this outdoor space. The Master bedroom fireplace and spectacular water views is a haven for rest. Spacious, cozy, and beautiful, it features a tray ceiling and bay window with the adjoining Master Bath and walk-in closet that is certainly going to please you. Enjoy the steam shower, and jetted tub; the custom closet system for getting maximum usage of the space designed by Carolina Closets. Also on the main floor is the second bedroom on the opposite side of the house. Directly across the hall is a full bath. The bonus room above the garage is unfinished space with many future possibilities. Completing the main living space is the hallway leading to the garage with a custom-built bench with storage underneath for shoes and other paraphernalia. The terrace level is naturally bright! A large rec room leads to the covered patio and directly to the very gentle lawn and your own covered dock. This level provides the perfect guest accommodations. With two additional bedrooms, you may offer your guests their choice of bedrooms as each has access to a full bathroom. Don't' miss a potential 5th bedroom option if needed! This room is an artist's delight. It has myriad possibilities and your own imagination as to its use. Accessed from the rec room, it has glass doors to the outside. This room should not be missed!
