Check out this rare log and timber home on Lake Murray. It's truly unlike anything else you can buy on the lake! Massive porches on 2 levels with outdoor kitchen area including room to add more cold storage for fish/beer. Chef's kitchen inside plus a second kitchen on lower level. 4 BR/3.5 BA. 2-car garage. An outdoor shower. Your own boat ramp and covered dock that seats 16. Oh, the storage! No HOA. All this and close to Marina Road and the Dutch Fork area!Let's start at the front door: You'll find a welcoming front porch and simple foyer that disguises what you are about to discover... a surprising great room/dining area and eat-in kitchen that overlooks the waterfront. A soaring ceiling, a grand contemporary staircase, a real stone fireplace and hearth, and doors that open to the main level porch! It's all stunning and ready for entertaining family and friends! Yet you'll also find a quiet reading nook. This is such a surprising house! There are two bedrooms on this main level plus a loft for your home office or an overflow sleeping area for guests. And you'll find another door that leads up to the private master suite with its own seating area, giant closet, gorgeous bathroom and a secret porch! Tucked under the gorgeous staircase are stairs to the party room and garage. That lower level is perfect for a mother-in-law suite with its bedroom and full bath, cozy den and mini-kitchen. Or you could call this bonus area your own "Party Central!"Outside you will find a quiet cove with easy access to open water. The mature landscaping only adds to this home's appeal. Yes, you are correct...the hot tub and fire pit are amenities you can enjoy year-round. Now, walk out to the dock and you'll realize very quickly just how unique it is to have a covered dock! It's not something that's easy to find or to have newly permitted. I've saved the best for last. This community with no HOA includes access to a 22-acre nature preserve (see last pictures) for you to explore, walk your dog or just generally recognize as a buffer zone to keep your new neighborhood quiet and teaming with wildlife!Come see how the sunshine illuminates this log and timber home...inside and out!
