Overview

Mountain sanctuary with access to private hiking & a waterfall at 204 Serenity Drive in Pickens, SC awaits you. Boasting 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms; ideally positioned on nearly an acre. This elevated mountain retreat experience, will leave you astounded. Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of nature every morning. This is not just another mountain home- it's a custom-crafted retreat where nature becomes your neighbor & privacy is paramount. Your own piece of paradise nestled on nearly an acre in the exclusive, gated Keowee Mountain Lake Estates, this Craftsman-style home offers something truly special: privacy to enjoy the surrounding mountains, while having access to meaningful amenities. Thoughtfully designed for mountain living- the current owners have owned several homes & they'll tell you this one is their masterpiece. Every detail reflects experience & attention to quality- from the custom kitchen island to the eye-catching shiplap walls & wood beam accents that perfectly complements each space of the home. Even the pocket style doors were well thought out. It's all in the small details! The heart of the home is the open-concept main level, where the kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area. It's hard to ignore the beauty of the soaring vaulted ceilings expertly crafted with wood beams & finishes with a gas log fireplace! Private dining room for special occasions is located off of the kitchen- I recommend standing in this space & gazing out the windows, take it all in. On the main level of the home is a space for every personal need, Owner's retreat with spa-like bathroom featuring walk-in shower, double sink vanity & custom walk-in closet. On the lower level are 2 additional bedrooms & a full bath accessed from the hall. This lower level is absolutely your flexible space: Large 20x19 recreation room (perfect for game nights or movie marathons). The adjoining space is ideal for a home office nook. Laundry is located on this level- this is not your ordinary laundry room! Ample storage & shelving PLUS access to a naturally cooled wine closet! But here's where it gets interesting: slide open those glass doors to the screened porch & suddenly your indoor space expands into nature itself. On pleasant days, the owners love to keep their windows open, filling their home with fresh mountain air. The outdoor experience, this isn't just about the house- it's about the lifestyle. Your outdoor sanctuary includes: an oversized screened porch (your new favorite room), covered patio area that is currently being used as a potting/gardening 'shed' & a lovely fire pit! Deck accessible on the main level! The custom detached garage accommodates 2 vehicles, with additional driveway parking if needed. Need a bonus space? Above the garage is approx 500 sq ft of finished space- currently being used as an art studio & home gym. Make this extra space fit your personal needs! Owners cannot wait for you to see this property in full bloom, their hard work is showcased every year once spring rolls in! Location Benefits- you're perfectly positioned for the outdoor lifestyle you're seeking: 5 mins to Crowe Creek boat landing on Lake Keowee, 15 mins to pristine Lake Jocassee with its crystal-clear waters & hidden waterfalls. Gated community amenities: 24-hr clubhouse access, fitness center, walking trails, creekside picnic area, boat & RV storage. Why this property stands out- this is not just a quickly built house; it's a home that was carefully planned & lovingly executed by people who understand mountain living.
