About 511 Palmer Way

Experience summer at this exquisite mountain-lake oasis! This beautifully updated home offers breathtaking 180-degree lake views with distant mountain vistas and luxurious living spaces created for comfort and style. With four bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, this expansive home is characterized by 100-year-old reclaimed heart pine floors. Grounded beneath the clean lines of a vaulted, slatted ceiling, these recently refinished boards bring history, warmth, and texture. The bedroom suite on the main level offers soaring ceilings and a private, raised sitting area—just one of the many touches that subtly express the tone of this wonderful property. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting a custom John Boos butcher block island, Premier copper sink, marble countertops, Bosch refrigerator, and a Wolf gas range, along with an inviting window seat. A separate house exudes the charm of the main home while maintaining its own personality and offering privacy to guests. An arched door welcomes you to a 500 square-foot space, which appears much larger thanks to an elegant, vaulted ceiling and light pine floors that echo the primary house. Inside, red barn doors give a pop of color and immediate flair. With a full bath and plumbing for a future kitchen, it could also be an ideal workspace or fitness area. Additional attractions of the main house include a breakfast area, recreation room, and an open dining area that seamlessly flows into the great room. There’s also a bright all-season sunroom with a stone fireplace, making it arguably the coziest place to be. Outdoor living at 511 Palmer is equally impressive. TimberTech composite decking is on both the front and back decks, and there’s a new DaVinci roof (2025), along with LeafGuard gutters. The landscaping, masterfully designed by Dabney Collins, celebrates the beauty of nature. Enjoy unforgettable sunrises overlooking the lake and a serene water feature that gracefully complements the interior and exterior. Recent upgrades include new HVAC systems in the main house and the guest house, new steel garage doors, and a new water heater (2023). Located in the sought-after G Section neighborhood in The Reserve at Lake Keowee, this established "island like" peninsula offers quick access to world-class amenities including The Orchard House, tennis facility, fitness center, pickleball courts, market, Founders Hall, two pools, and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. The developer has also recently announced plans for even more features. Premier membership is required with purchase. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own an exceptional mountain-lake retreat with a multitude of updates!
