This charming 2BR/1BA condo unit in the popular Captain's Walk section of Keowee Key has just been refurbished and is the closest condo to any pool in the entire resort community. The "Southside" pool, adjacent to this unit, has been recently renovated with brand new pool deck, cabana, & bathrooms. The all new South Flagship Walking Trail, which stretches from the South Gate to the Club Gate,(about 2 miles) is literally steps from this front door.
This ground floor end unit has easy access with no stairs, and convenient parking at the end of the sidewalk. Our building has only 4 units and is situated off to itself near the pool, so it feels very private and not too clustered in with other buildings. A patio shade on one end of the deck adds even more privacy.
You will be nestled between the pines in a comfortable and refreshed interior. Our renovations include all new flooring throughout, fresh paint throughout, new HVAC, new appliances, and updated bathroom, making this space fresh for our guests' enjoyment, while still cozy and charming. You will have a lovely shaded outdoor deck (approx 20'x5'), where we have finished off the "ceiling" so that you'll have covered enjoyment and a little protection from rain -- what a great way to start your day!
