MHK Architecture in collaboration with The Stillwater Group has created this modern, mountain-style waterfront home in the Reserve at Lake Keowee, South Carolina. The homeowners are a couple who wanted a vacation home to entertain family and friends and it was important for their guests to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the living spaces, indoors and out.

The exterior facade of this dwelling features a combination of a unique stone blend and plenty of glass to maximize the views. Inside this spectacular dream house, you will find a sumptuous 6,242 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms, a home office, exercise room, bar, and recreation loft, this custom home leaves nothing to be desired.
