2516 Sugar Valley Rd, Seneca, SC 29672

Own the horizon with the rarest view of Lake Keowee's deep waters and the majestic mountains beyond, yours to enjoy from the privacy of 2516 Sugar Valley Road. Located in a protected inlet only 10 minutes from Clemson University, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home has almost 4,400 square feet of casual elegance with sweeping views from every room. Through the front door, you are greeted with heart pine floors reclaimed from a local mill and a spacious sunroom with Eze-breeze style windows and infrared heaters. Off the sunroom is the Great Room with soaring height, wood beams, a stately fireplace, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows soaking in every inch of the mountains, sunsets, and deep water. There is a casual dining area that opens to the breakfast room and French farmhouse-inspired kitchen, featuring exposed whitewashed beams, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, deep farmhouse apron sink, new walnut island, a pantry, and luxury appliances including a gas Lacanche range, BlueStar double ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Wood French doors in the kitchen open to the courtyard and the chef’s garden, which has already been planted with herbs and greens ready for spring. A half flight of stairs leads to the first primary suite, with another expansive wall of windows, a private office overlooking the lake, plenty of closet space, and a remodeled ensuite bathroom with a walk-in tile shower, frameless glass door, and a marble top double sink vanity. On the upper level, there is a large guest suite with a private remodeled bathroom and the same breathtaking vista, as well as a loft office and a glass balcony currently being used as a gym that could also be utilized as a den or viewing room. The walk-out terrace level includes another well-appointed and spacious guest suite with a third remodeled bathroom and double doors leading to a hidden portico nestled among the trees. The second primary suite is also located on the walk-out terrace level and feels like a secluded retreat, with a private vestibule, two sets of glass double doors that open to the vast patio, heated Sicis Italian tile floors, a fully remodeled ensuite bathroom with double sink vanity, extra-large tile steam shower with a bench, Toto bidet toilet, and a spacious walk-in closet. The home also includes a wine cellar, half bath, laundry room, and unfinished space for storage. The outdoor entertaining and living space is expansive and just as elegant and well-designed as the interior of the home, featuring a large ipe wood sun deck and a multi-level stone patio with a combination of natural flagstone and paver materials, along with a full outdoor kitchen that wraps around to a custom wood oven ready for pizza night. There is built-in bar-height seating, several cozy gathering areas, a large hardscape fire pit, and stairs leading to the covered dock with a boat lift. The detached two-car garage is steps from the kitchen entrance through the fenced courtyard and includes additional storage space. The mechanicals have also been updated with new high-efficiency Trane units and new water heaters. This home isn’t just made for summer fun; it is a rare opportunity to own the horizon and live in laid-back luxury all year round.
