lakefront CONDO! Welcome to 111 Ballard Lane on Lake Marion! This lakefront condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. In addition, the unit is on the ''main level'' or ''street level'' of this three-story complex which means there is never a need to climb stairs making access easy for you and your guests and managing daily activities like bringing in groceries and other shopping items a breeze. The property landscaping is mature and maintained by the HOA as well as the building and common areas. Enjoy amenities including walking paths, grilling/picnic areas, a boat dock, and boat ramp. The shared dock has boat slips which can be leased through the HOA and there is ample parking located in front of each building.Upon entering the condo, you will notice a foyer area and front hall that leads right to the kitchen and the open concept dining/living room beyond. The kitchen is tastefully appointed with gleaming granite countertops and wood tone cabinets complimented by sleek black appliances including a built-in microwave, electric range/oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator which conveys with the sale. The kitchen breakfast bar, which can seat up to two or three bar height stools, has a large open pass-through (all the way to the ceiling) that creates expansive sightlines that flow from the kitchen to the formal dining area, to the cozy living room, and all the way out the double French doors onto the spacious porch where there are unobstructed views of the lake. Unlike most units, this one is on the end of the building allowing for many windows throughout which provide a bright, airy, sunlit interior and charming woodland views of the property that change color with each passing season. The primary bedroom is spacious, has a gorgeous view of the lake, an ensuite bathroom with a tub and separate shower, a walk-in closet, and its own private porch access. This bedroom is currently being used as a home office by the owner but would make a truly amazing primary bedroom retreat. There are two guest bedrooms, one of which has its own private full bathroom making it a proper secondary suite. The third bedroom has convenient access to an adjacent full bathroom off the hall. This condo is impressive with upgraded features throughout including 9 foot + ceilings, smooth ceilings, ceiling fans, hardwood floors, wall to wall carpeting, ceramic tile floors, crown molding, stylish fixtures, and custom window treatments which convey with the sale. It is noteworthy to mention there is a dedicated laundry space large enough for stackable machines, ample closet/storage spaces including a coat closet, and the three bathrooms each have a tub which is a rare accommodation in any property. Located just about an hour from Charleston or Columbia, depending on which direction you are coming from, you can arrive at this condo in short order. Benefit from its central location when planning and taking day trips to explore all that SC has to offer or stay put and enjoy all that this charming lake community has to offer such as shopping, multiple golf courses, and local restaurants such as the historic and picturesque Clark's Inn among others. The property is on a quiet lake cove where you can jump right on your boat and quickly arrive at the big water outlet where directly across the lake you can find popular waterfront stops such as The Lake House, Cooper's Landing, and Polly's Landing. You can arrive at your property by boat too. Coming from Charleston by boat, you will travel through the locks at Lake Moultrie. This unique way to come from the Lowcountry will take approximately 3 - 4 hours depending on speed and conditions. Own this property as a primary residence or as a second home. It is a special place you can truly enjoy on a regular basis or on occasion for some needed downtime, to host family, and/or entertain friends. It is a must see to fully appreciate.
