The Residence | This charming cottage has been updated with a newer kitchen, enlarged living area, and lovely deck.  With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, the home features an open floor plan that includes a rock fireplace, open living room/dining area with vaulted ceiling, and private master suite. There’s plenty of parking plus a lovely entry porch, deck, and beautiful landscaping, all overlooking Lake Summit.  The home, originally built in 1954 and remodeled in 1999, is the perfect family lake house.

Living & Dining | Open and welcoming, the heart of the cottage is a breath of fresh air.  This spacious area features an open floor plan with the kitchen, living room, dining room, hearth room, and study/card room.  The ceiling and walls are pine and the floors are oak.  The wood burning rock fireplace is on the back wall and windows line the view side of the room.  From every vantage point, you’ll have sumptuous lake views.

Kitchen | This updated kitchen has everything you need for easy lake living:  Jenn-Air gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, pantry and breakfast bar.  Notice the oak floors and recessed lighting.  Whether you’re cooking up a chef’s delight or putting away the dishes, you’ll be entranced by unsurpassed postcard scenes of Lake Summit.

Bedrooms | The master suite has a private bath with separate vanity area and walk-in cedar lined closet. On the main floor, you’ll find a second bedroom and full bath with an extra room, currently used as a bunk room, and the laundry closet. The lower level features a third bedroom and bath and storage area.

Decks & Views | Adjoining the living room and study and just out the sliding door, the deck will surely be one of your favorite spots to sit among the trees and take in this stunning long range view of the lake. Low maintenance grounds with rock walls surround the house.  There is plenty of parking for guest and a nice winding gravel driveway leads into property.

Boathouse | This newer boathouse is designed for lakefront fun!  The low maintenance vinyl siding allows you more time for relaxation on the water.  The huge covered party deck with stove, refrigerator and bar area can accommodate all the company you can invite in for lakefront entertaining. Down below are two large boat slips, changing room and nice swim area.  A bold creek runs just off to the side.

Lake Summit | Spanning 300 acres with around 10 miles of shoreline, Lake Summit is a very special place.  There are just over 250 cottages with boathouses around the lake; most used as summer getaways.  Duke Power generates power from their hydroelectric plant at the eastern end of the lake.  On the western end of the lake and along the headwaters of the Green River, Camp Greystone for girls, Camp Green Cove for girls and Camp Mondamin for boys have a long history as great summer camps.  The Green River is the main tributary for the lake, and with just one look into the water, you will know why it is called the "Green" River. Residents enjoy power boating, sailing, skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, swimming, pontoon cruises and just sitting on the porch taking in the view.

The Location | Lake Summit has long been one of the most desired locations in the mountains.  Just 10 minutes from Saluda and 14 minutes to Hendersonville, Lake Summit is centrally located between Greenville, Spartanburg, and Asheville; each just about 35 minutes away.  The Asheville airport is an easy 20-minute drive.  The Charlotte airport is a 90-minute drive.
