Spacious Lake Hartwell waterfront cottage located in a quiet cove just off the Tugaloo River - short term rentals allowed! All of the bedrooms are very large and are located on the street level. The primary bedroom has a spacious private bathroom, a walk-in closet, a second reach-in closet, and access to a covered deck that spans the entire lake side of the home. Two additional bedrooms share a large Jack and Jill bath. The landing/hallway on this level is wide enough that a portion is currently being used as the seller's home office! At the end of the hall is another door leading to the covered deck. A breezeway connects the deck on this level to a studio apartment located above the detached garage. There's so much potential for someone to finish the apartment and use it as an in-law suite, apartment for adult kids moving back home, or as a rental! Back inside the house, the open kitchen and living area are located on the lower level. The kitchen is perfect for preparing meals for all the guests you'll be hosting at your new lake house - there's a huge single bowl stainless steel sink, as well as TONS of cabinet and counter space! The living area includes a masonry fireplace currently equipped with a gas insert - the seller has never used or inspected the fireplace & does not know if the insert works, but the next owner could potentially convert it back to wood burning. This level also has an updated half bath, laundry space, and a storage area under the stairs. The living area leads out to a screened porch facing the lake. This level also has an extra deep single car garage that would make a great workshop if you don't need the parking space! A concrete path leads to the platform dock, and the shoreline is equipped with a light pole. The home has low maintenance vinyl siding & windows, and a newer 5ft high fence surrounds the front and side yards. The septic was pumped last year, and the seller had a cleanout installed. Seller has started replacing front steps to the apartment & will finish prior to closing. The apartment square footage is not being counted as finished space because it currently is not connected to power & does not have HVAC, but there is potential there for an additional 480 sq ft. Listing agency is providing a 1 year home warranty to the buyer at closing!
