Welcome to an exceptional Lake Murray retreat where expansive water views, thoughtful design, and everyday comfort come together. Built in 2020 by award-winning builder Mark Kinsey, this all-brick home is beautifully positioned in the desirable mid-lake area—just minutes from shopping, dining, and schools, with no HOA, but option to join. Originally enjoyed as a cherished family vacation home, the property offers an inviting setting for full-time lakefront living, weekend escapes, or gathering family and friends. The spacious, versatile floor plan features four bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bath, plus an office currently arranged as a children’s bunk room. Two full kitchens, two dining areas, two living rooms, and a private movie theater provide exceptional flexibility for entertaining, hosting guests, or accommodating multigenerational living.Each of the home’s three levels has its own laundry area. A walk-in attic offers more than 300 square feet of floored space with electricity, creating the possibility for future bonus space, a studio, or additional storage.Outside, enjoy beautiful big-water views from the protection of a peaceful cove—the perfect combination of scenic open-water beauty and calmer water at the shoreline. The newly extended private dock includes a boat lift rated for up to 8,000 pounds. A spacious backyard, irrigation system, landscape lighting, and hot-and-cold water access on the walkout patio make outdoor living easy throughout the year.Publix and Lowes Foods are approximately four miles away, and Augusta National is within an hour—ideal for enjoying Masters week. The home also offers the flexibility for future vacation-rental use, if desired, without sacrificing its warmth and livability as as a primary residence or private family retreat.This is more than a lake house—it is a place to settle in, spread out, and enjoy the Lake Murray lifestyle.
