519 Birchbark Court

Welcome to 519 Birchbark Court, an iconic point lot spanning 1.36 acres and boasting over 725 feet of stunning waterfront. Lake Keowee enthusiasts have admired this truly one-of-a-kind property since its construction. The long private driveway, complete with ample guest parking, leads you to the serene setting and waterfront that surrounds the home. Beautifully crafted by Rob Coogan, of Coogan Fine Homes, this high quality built residence features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, along with a dedicated home office, recreation room, formal dining area, family room, and an incredible wrap-around lakeside covered deck. Almost every room in the house offers breathtaking and calming lake views. The elegant kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with dual sinks, an island with bar seating, granite cou ntertops, a 6-burner gas cooktop, two wall ovens, and a large walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate wet bar, complete with a sink and beverage cooler, perfect for coffee breaks or happy hour. The picturesque living room can serve as two separate spaces or one expansive area, featuring a stone fireplace and panoramic lake vistas. The lakeside deck, a favorite spot of the owners, exemplifies the essence of Lake Keowee—the stunning views and consistent gentle breezes make it the perfect place to entertain or simply relax. When not in your rocking chair on the back deck, you'll find yourself drawn to the remainder of the wrap-around deck, whether grilling dinner on the side deck or enjoying the screened porch overlooking the hot tub and dock. A gentle walk off the deck leads to the covered 26x28-foot dock in deep water, allowing for safe boat storage and swimming along the shores of Lake Keowee. This secluded bay offers tranquility away from the main channel's boat traffic without sacrificing premium lake views—literally the best of lake living. Inside, the main level primary suite features more lake views, a cozy sitting room/den, double vanities, a walk-in tile shower, a garden tub, and a custom walk-in closet. The main level also includes a home office with built-ins, a guest bedroom, a full bath, a powder bath, and a laundry room. Need more space? Head to the upper floor, where you’ll find three additional large bedrooms, one of which is a separate suite, along with another full bath. In addition to the guest bedrooms/baths, the upstairs recreation room, currently used as an exercise area, includes a wet bar and mini fridge, while a family room/loft area provides a comfortable retreat for guests as well. Storage is abundant, featuring a three-car garage, linen/storage closets throughout, and a fully floored attic above the garage. Custom touches throughout include 2x6 exterior wall construction, cypress tongue-and-groove ceilings, 10'+ ceilings, 8' doors, a 26KW home natural gas generator, and freshly oiled IPE decking. Waterford Pointe offers sidewalks for leisurely strolls, two tennis/pickle ball courts, a junior Olympic pool, a clubhouse, boat trailer storage, and a playground. This prime location is just 15 minutes from Clemson, less than an hour from Greenville, and less than 10 minutes to grocery stores, dining, medical, etc. in Seneca. This is an amazing offering, with some of the finest lake intangibles that can be found, in one of the best communities and locations on Lake Keowee.
