Better Than New, Character, Craftsmanship & Modern Efficiency Welcome to 503 Ploma Drive, where the character and craftsmanship of an established home meet the comfort, efficiency and style of an extensive top to bottom transformation. Over the past two years, the owners have thoughtfully reimagined nearly every aspect of this property, creating a home that feels fresh and modern while retaining a distinctive personality rarely found in new construction. Inside, solid wood flooring flows throughout the primary living areas, complemented by Carrera-style flooring in the beautifully remodeled bathrooms. All four bathrooms have been completely updated with high-end vanities, new fixtures, lighting and finishes. Every interior and exterior door has been replaced, crown molding added, and new bronze Andersen windows installed throughout. A dramatic approximately 7' x 8' floor-to-ceiling Andersen picture window fills the home with natural light and creates an impressive architectural focal point. The completely remodeled kitchen combines function with sophisticated style, featuring quartz countertops, a high-end Kraus sink, stainless fixtures, refrigerator, gas range and oven, water purification system and properly vented microwave hood. Antique lighting in the kitchen and dining areas adds warmth and character, while select antique furnishings and pieces throughout the home may also be available should a buyer have interest. One of the home's most impressive additions is the 500+ square-foot four-season room, designed to feel like a natural continuation of the original residence. A seamless transition leads from the home's solid wood flooring to ceramic tile that beautifully complements the room's high ceiling and natural wood detailing. Large custom windows, custom window treatments, ceiling fan, dedicated mini-split system and a convenient kitchen pass-through create an exceptional space for entertaining or everyday living. Step outside to the new covered porch with stone sitting wall and enjoy a backyard that has been completely transformed. The improvements go well beyond what you can see. Major upgrades include all-new plumbing piping, updated sewer connection, new electrical panel, 26kW whole-house Generac natural-gas generator, new architectural roof, oversized gutters with leaf protection, extensive underground drainage, fully insulated attic and garage areas, encapsulated crawlspace with two dehumidifiers and sump pump, HVAC air-treatment system, new gas-log fireplace, high-end garage door, security cameras and a newly created laundry room. The exterior received equally extensive attention. The property was extensively graded and prepared for new landscaping, with Zoysia sod installed across the front, side and rear yards. A five-zone irrigation system supports new tea olives, Japanese maples, gardenias and azaleas. Outdoor lighting, extensive hardscaping, front and rear patios, sitting walls, custom metal handrails and two improved outdoor storage buildings complete the property. From the systems beneath the home to the roof above it and seemingly everything in between 503 Ploma Drive represents an extraordinary amount of recent investment. The result is a home with the charm and individuality of its original era combined with the finishes, systems and efficiency today's buyer expects. Extensive documentation, contractor/vendor information, service records and warranty information are available upon request. Select antiques, furnishings and décor may be available by separate agreement.

LOCATION. STYLE. LAKE ACCESS. AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN! Welcome to 119 Grand Summit Drive, where lake living meets a cool contemporary vibe—and where you might just find yourself becoming the house everyone wants to hang out at! Located in the highly coveted The Summit, this stylish 4-bedroom contemporary home is anything but your typical lake house. It’s designed for people who love to entertain, relax, play and enjoy life. In other words, bring your friends…you have plenty of parking! The fun starts outside. The spacious deck features a built-in grill, while the screened porch is the perfect spot to enjoy an evening beverage, whether the forecast calls for sunshine or one of those classic Southern “pop-up” showers. Head downstairs and the party continues with a hot tub, fire pit and plenty of seating for late-night conversations that somehow always last longer than planned. The private, level yard is a rare find and gives you plenty of room for outdoor games, a future pool, or simply enough space to tire out the kids—or the dog. And then there’s the lower level—WOW! Completely renovated in 2021, it includes a full kitchen, fireplace, living area and game room, plus a bedroom with a connecting full bath. It’s perfect for guests, extended family, a home-care situation, or—let’s just say it—a child who has discovered that moving out is apparently optional. They can have their own kitchen, living room and bathroom, so everyone wins! Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite is your private retreat, complete with a cozy reading nook overlooking the beautiful outdoors, two walk-in closets and a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms and an office are located on the opposite side of the home, providing plenty of privacy. A convenient laundry room leads toward the two-car garage. Need more space? You got it. There’s a third garage and workshop on the lower level, plus a massive driveway with room for cars, golf carts and probably a few friends who “just stopped by.” A whole-house Generac generator provides an added layer of convenience and peace of mind. And let's talk about the location. Publix and Ingles are just 4/10 of a mile away, while Clemson University and Downtown Seneca are only about a five-minute drive. That means groceries, football games, dinner and everything else you need are remarkably close. No epic road trip required. Best of all, you’ll have your own deeded boat slip (#5), so spontaneous lake days are officially encouraged. The Summit's amenities include pickleball and tennis courts, a clubhouse, pool and cabana, playground, walking trails, sidewalks, streetlights, kayak storage and launch, plus a gated storage area for boats, RVs and other toys. And with an active social calendar, making friends is easy. The Summit is the kind of neighborhood where you may move in knowing nobody and somehow end up with plans every weekend. Whether you're looking for a lake lifestyle, a place to entertain, a neighborhood where people actually get together, or simply a home where “What are we doing this weekend?” is a question with a very long answer, The Summit delivers. Come see 119 Grand Summit Drive and discover why this isn't just a house—it’s a place to live, play, entertain and make some seriously good memories. Lake access. Great location. Amazing amenities. Tons of space. And a house that's just plain fun. Come take a look. Just don't blame us when all your friends want to come over.
