550 Long Reach Dr, Salem, SC 29676

Prime location on the south side of Keowee Key, adjacent to Chestnut Point, where most of the waterfront lots have a very gentle slope to the shoreline. This home has been meticulously cared for from the inside out. Contemporary, charming and cozy describes the owner's décor. With an abundance of light filtering throughout the house, the glistening of Lake Keowee and a park like setting, you will see why the owner has enjoyed this home. Here are some comments directly from the owner: "When my husband and I first stepped in the door of this home, our hearts' soared. The contemporary design of the house and all of the glass brought the outdoors in. We were like two kids in a candy store as we ran through the house to see the many views of the lake and mother nature. Although the house and the property needed a lot of work, we could see its beautiful potential." "In the 12 years I have owned the house, it has been almost totally remodeled. The kitchen was gutted and expanded. The house's three bathrooms were gutted and redone. Only the bathtubs and toilets in two of the bathrooms were left. In the master bath two walls were removed and variant heat installed. Except for the main garage door, all of the doors were replaced and many of the windows including the vinyl windows in the screened in porch. New carpeting was installed in the porch as well. A porthole window was added and new carpeting was installed in the downstairs recreation room as well as the drop ceiling replaced with a drywall ceiling and new lights. New closet doors were installed in all of the bedrooms. Both heat pumps have been replaced, and a new Trane system installed. Also the roof has been replaced. New cupboards were added to the laundry room." "Approximately 75 trees have been removed and new landscaping added. In past years, two major landscape/hardscape projects were completed for a cost of $19,000. The front steps and outside steps to the back yard were removed. The front steps were replaced with segmental retaining wall block and interlocking concrete pavers, and the outside steps replaced with interlocking concrete pavers and step block. Decorative blocks with caps were installed along with some new gutters, an underground drain for two gutter down spouts and a French drain. In 2015 a sub-floor drain system was installed in the mechanical room to resolve a water leakage issue from the outside at the cost of $5,000. New water lines were installed to replace a leaking copper line in the dining room/main floor bathroom. The house and property have been well cared for. Outside drainage was improved with the addition of a large dry riverbed with a catch basin and piping to the backyard to the Duke Property line invested in and treated with lots of TLC."
