Mountains or waterfront? Why choose when you can have both. Nestled inside the established Lake Lanier community, 1214 E. Lakeshore Drive delivers the rare pairing of breathtaking mountain backdrop and pristine waterfront living. Nearly every room captures stunning water views, creating a sense of retreat the moment you step inside. Homes on the charming and exclusive Lake Lanier tend to trade privately or rarely hit the market. Lake Lanier has very minimal remaining shoreline which tends to produce stronger long-term property values because waterfront inventory is extremely limited. Lake Lanier is a private lake with no outside boat access, which allows plenty of room for lake owners to enjoy swimming, boating, waterskiing, fishing, paddling, etc. This fully furnished, 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends charm and craftsmanship with refined finishes throughout. The main level is the heart of the home, featuring one-of-a-kind hardwoods, an open-concept kitchen and keeping area, and panoramic lake views that flood the space with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with polished granite countertops, a generous center island with built-in wine storage, stainless appliances including a KitchenAid gas range with double ovens, and abundant cabinetry with custom slide-out shelving. Wake each morning in the main-level primary suite overlooking the water. The renovated ensuite offers spa-like comfort with a custom vanity, dual sinks, tiled flooring, water closet, and a beautifully designed walk-in shower. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms - two with full waterfront views - offer space for family and guests.  The finished terrace level, with a secondary owners' suite, makes an ideal arrangement for multi-generational living or long-term guests. Outdoor living defines this property. A wrap-around screened porch, covered terrace patio, gentle walk to the boathouse, and an illuminated deck create endless opportunities for relaxation. Evenings are best spent by the fire pit, just steps from the water’s edge. 1214 E Lakeshore Drive is not only a meticulously maintained waterfront retreat, it is also a highly successful 5.0 star rating VRBO, offering immediate revenue potential. Luxury lake inventory of this caliber, especially fully furnished and income-producing, is rare. With numerous owner's closets as well as an owner's refrigerator/freezer in a locked area on the terrace level, this property adjusts well to being both a vacation home and a rental property. Located minutes from downtown Landrum and convenient to Tryon, Greenville, and Spartanburg, this is mountain-lake living at its finest.
