About this home

351 River Road in Westminster could be a private Hartwell Lake hideaway, an income-producing vacation rental, or both! Four bedrooms and four bathrooms allow for people to spread out inside the +/-4400 sq ft of this home. A large great room overlooks the lake and shares a double-sided fireplace with the kitchen. Plenty of cabinetry, two pantries, and a long bar make this a great place to entertain guests while you prepare food and drinks. The adjoining sunroom/dining room has space for a long table and big windows on two sides to see both the lake and the greenery. Beyond the dining room is another room with a fireplace, full bathroom, and additional small bar-style kitchen. This room currently holds a pool table and is used as a game room, but it could certainly be used for other purposes. Beyond that is a door to a screened-in porch and to the back yard. The laundry room and storage room have a dog door that leads out to a handy fenced area for the doggies. Access to a heated and cooled basement workshop area is also through the back yard and dog fence area. If you don't need a workshop, use it as a gym, game room, or a movie room. The top level of the house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom has Lake Hartwell views from one window and Blue Ridge Mountain views from the other! The main level has decks on two sides of the home. The basement level contains a newly added bedroom and adjoining full bathroom. A two-door garage is also on the basement level. The yard has many mature trees, bushes and shrubs which will certainly surprise you throughout your first year of ownership. A platform dock is in place. A new retaining wall was built. Some of the real estate photos show Lake Hartwell when it is at full pond. Currently, the lake looks like the salt marshes and swamps of the South Carolina Low Country. This home has been cherished by its current owners. They do have some vacation rental history for the home, however they did not focus on building that business because they enjoyed coming to stay at their home when it was vacant. Start the rest of 2026 at your new Lake Hartwell home!
