The Residence | This is the best example of mid-century architecture on the lake.  With 6 bedrooms and 4 baths, this home is designed for a large family and lots of friends. The spacious living room with its huge rock fireplace and incredible views will surely be a favorite gathering spot. The home features a circular driveway, carport, extensive rockwork, decks and patio.  The home was built in 1958 and had some important updates in 2001.

Living Room | With panoramic views of Lake Summit, the living room with its cathedral ceiling, massive rock fireplace, and picture window provides the perfect setting for your ideal lake getaway.  The ceiling and walls are wood and the floors are random width pine.  This open sunny room is joined on the back by the kitchen and dining room.

Kitchen | This vintage 1958 kitchen has seen very little use and everything is in working order. The custom copper hood provides the centerpiece and also divides the space between the kitchen and dining rooms.  Appliances include cooktop, wall oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher.

Bedrooms | The master bedroom, just as the other 5 bedrooms, features a wall of custom built-in storage with drawers and cabinets.   The floors are pine and the sliding door opens to the front deck   The adjoining master bathroom is vintage 1958 and has seen little use. The floor is tile.  The 5 guest rooms all have incredible views of the lake and each opens out on to the deck or patio.

Decks & Views | A patio sits just off the dining room and would be a great place for outdoor dining.   The deck, located just off the living room, provides the ideal spot for reading a book or just enjoying the spectacular lake views.  Beautiful grounds surround the house with extensive grass and woods.

The Boathouse | With its huge party room, built-in bar, and enormous rock fireplace, the boathouse provides a wonderful place to entertain and enjoy the lake.  Not only does the property boast a 2-slip boathouse, but another dock anchors the opposite end of the waterfront.  The location is right in the middle of the widest, most desirable section of Lake Summit.  This is one of the few properties on the lake with its own sandy beach!  This is truly one of the best pieces of land on the lake.

Lake Summit | Spanning about 300 acres with around 10 miles of shoreline, Lake Summit is a very special place.  Duke Power generates power from their hydroelectric plant at the eastern end of the lake.  There are just over 250 cottages with boathouses around the lake; most used as summer getaways.  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 Flat Rock and 15 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.
