Public Remarks: Welcome to 'The Keowee Estate' located in the heart of beautiful Sequoyah Hills. Some homes are built. Others are shaped thoughtfully over time. Originally constructed in the 1920s, 926 Keowee Avenue has been carefully restored and updated to preserve its architectural character while providing the comfort and functionality of a modern luxury home. Throughout the renovation, the goal was never to erase the home's history. Original details were retained wherever possible, including the arched hardwood doors and brass hardware. New elements were designed to feel appropriate to the home's Mediterranean Revival architecture, as though they had always been part of it.The result is a home that feels warm, established, and authentic, with century-old craftsmanship alongside today's finest finishes, systems, and amenities. Set on 1.23 beautifully landscaped acres in the heart of Sequoyah Hills, the property offers a rare combination of historic architecture, modern convenience, privacy, and comfortable everyday living. Every room in the house boasts unforgettable features! Gathering Room: The gathering room is both the architectural and emotional center of the home. The room is anchored by the original 1920s masonry fireplace, which has welcomed family and guests for more than a century. Carefully preserved during the renovation, it remains one of the home's most meaningful original features. Hardwood floors, detailed millwork, abundant natural light, and beautifully proportioned windows create a room that feels elegant without being formal or uninviting. Designed for both quiet evenings and larger gatherings, the space reflects the approach taken throughout the home: honoring the past while creating a comfortable setting for modern life. Music Chapel Room: Perhaps the most memorable room in the home, the Music Chapel Room has a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere. Inspired by the quiet beauty of a European chapel or conservatory, the room is surrounded on three sides by arched windows and doors, filling the space with natural light and garden views. A custom fireplace was designed specifically for the room, with proportions, materials, and details chosen to complement the home's Mediterranean Revival style and appear original to the residence. Ideal for music, morning coffee, reading, quiet reflection, or gathering with family and friends, the room invites you to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding property. Kitchen: The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Premium marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a professional Le Cornue gas range, luxury appliances, generous preparation space, and an oversized island combine beauty with everyday function. The kitchen also connects easily to the surrounding living and entertaining spaces, allowing family and guests to gather comfortably while meals are prepared. Primary Suite and Primary Bathroom: The primary suite was designed as a private and comfortable retreat. Generous proportions, peaceful views, custom closet space, and carefully selected finishes create a sense of calm and privacy. The adjoining bathroom and dressing areas give the suite the feel of a luxury boutique hotel while remaining warm and practical for everyday living. Private Wellness Retreat and Entertaining space: The outdoor wellness area offers the experience of a private spa at home. Features include: • Authentic Deep Water cedar barrel hot tub • Traditional cedar sauna • Cold plunge for contrast therapy and recovery • Private natural stone terrace • Mature landscaping and privacy The Entertaining Space includes a large fire pit, artisan pizza oven, and wisteria covered dining table. This home's features continue to astound, with a theater room, private library, and detached guest house.
