South Carolina Lake House

This family was fortunate to have owned the land on this part of the lake for many years and thus were able to build on one of the best parts of the lake.   

This stone and shake house with its copper raised seam roof, flush gables, and shed dormers, is charming in detail and belies its true size.

The entrance hall has a low. flat ceiling with hand-hewn timbers and shiplap boards giving it a textured casual feel.

The vaulted great room offers magnificent view of the lake, particularly at sunset.

The dining room is designed to have views of the lake and access to the covered porch.

Portholes on these interior doors lend a nautical feel to the space.

Wood paneling in the study lends an inviting feel to the space.

Shiplap boards and a flat ceiling with hand-hewn timbers give a textured casual feel to this sunlit room.

Shiplap boards and a sea blue ceiling give this guest room lakeside charm.

The rec room's low, flat ceiling with hand-hewn timbers and shiplap boards lend to the causal feel. A custom display cabinet on one end features a special collection of sailboats and memorabilia.

Upstairs, a guest room enjoys high ceilings and plantation shutter.

The guest suite features beadboard walls and wide plank hardwood floors.

Painted beadboard surrounds a window overlooking the exterior of the stone & shake lake house.

This room enjoys vaulted ceilings and views of the lake.

Creamy white cabinetry and a farmhouse style island lend the kitchen an inviting atmosphere.

Light from the expansive windows and premier view of the lake is enhanced by the master suite's raised white ceiling.

Built-in floor to ceiling cabinetry and a storage bench make the mudroom functionally beautiful.

This shower features a stone surface and a rain shower head. The blue tile subway detail gives a nod to the lakefront location.

The stone fireplace on the rear porch is a favorite place to sit and visit as night falls.

A porthole detail in the stone masonry adds to the nautical appeal of the home.

All the principal rooms on the main level are arranged to have views of the lake or access to a covered porch.

A separate guest house provides private quarters for family and friends and is connected to the main house by a covered walkway.
