204 McAlister Lake Dr Easley, SC 29642

Tucked away in McAlister Acres - an intimate enclave of just 13 homes surrounding a small private lake - 204 McAlister Lake Drive is the kind of place you have to know about to find. An arched entry with a one-of-a-kind stained-glass front door set the tone the moment you arrive this is a home with character at every turn. Set on a beautifully landscaped, wooded 2.5-acre lot reached by a circular drive and a winding flagstone walkway, the home opens to a light-filled great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and gorgeous white oak floors installed new in 2025. A stone fireplace with a reclaimed-wood mantel anchors the space, framed by custom built-in bookcases, while graceful archways lead you from room to room. At the center of the home is a chef's kitchen built for connection and entertaining: a large quartz island with a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, a gas range with vent hood, double wall ovens, and designer lantern pendants, all open to the great room. A sunny bay-window breakfast nook overlooks the gardens, while a separate formal dining room - crowned by a soaring turret ceiling and wrapped in windows - sets the stage for special occasions. Just off the kitchen, a stylish wet bar - complete with built-in wine storage and a hammered copper sink - makes hosting effortless. Designed for easy single-level living, the home offers three bedrooms on the main level. The primary suite is a true private retreat - a dramatic tray ceiling, a double-sided fireplace, and an entire wall of custom built-ins give it the feel of a luxury hideaway and opens directly to a private patio. The spa-inspired bath continues the theme with a freestanding soaking tub set beside the glow of that same fireplace, a separate marble-tiled shower with a rainfall head and built-in bench, dual vanities, and marble floors throughout. Two additional main-level bedrooms, connected by a shared bath, complete the everyday living spaces. Completing the main level, a designer-wallpapered powder room, spacious laundry room and a light-filled study wrapped in bay windows round out the home's many spaces to gather or retreat. Upstairs, a spacious bonus and media room offers room to spread out - with its own built-in snack bar and beverage fridge - alongside a generous fourth bedroom and a beautiful full bath with a quartz vanity. But the real showstopper is the outdoor living, which truly lives like a private resort. A screened porch with a beadboard ceiling and café lighting opens to expansive multi-level patios, a full outdoor kitchen, and a built-in stone fire-pit lounge framed by seat walls - all set among manicured boxwood gardens, a tiered fountain, a pergola, and a private courtyard. It's a rare, magazine-worthy setting for entertaining a crowd or simply unwinding in the trees. Additional highlights include a three-car attached garage, a circular driveway, a detached one-car garage, and the peace of mind of a newer roof and HVAC (both 2020). All this just minutes from Easley's shopping and dining, and an easy drive to Greenville and Clemson. Homes in McAlister Acres rarely come to market. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind retreat in one of the Upstate's best-kept secrets
