Tucked along the Seneca River on Lake Hartwell, this beautifully maintained 2018-built waterfront home offers the kind of lake lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find—with a deeded covered boat slip just a few homes away and a community dock that remains readily accessible even with Lake Hartwell’s current lower water levels. From your slip, you’re approximately 20 minutes by boat from Clemson Marina in one direction and Portman Marina in the other, putting some of the Upstate’s favorite lake destinations within easy reach. If you're a Clemson Football Fan, the university is about 25 minutes by car. Inside, the home’s thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy for the owner’s suite on one side and guest bedrooms with a second bath on the other.
