519 Tall Ship Dr

The Tall Ships condominium cluster in Keowee Key is a low- to mid-rise waterfront complex built in 1986 that primarily offers two-bedroom, two-bath units arranged across multiple buildings such as the Clipper. Architecture and floorplans emphasize leisure: many residences feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, large bay windows, open-concept great rooms, and private balconies or patios oriented toward Lake Keowee. Interior finishes commonly include granite or quartz counters, built-in cabinetry and bookcases, walk-in closets, renovated primary baths with dual sinks or walk-in showers, and accessibility features like elevators and handicap access. Common exterior elements are paved driveways, landscaped grounds with irrigation, exterior storage rooms, and waterfront access with nearby marinas. Shared building services cover routine upkeep through a regime HOA and there are on-site elevators and limited assigned parking plus visitor spaces; some buildings provide basement storage. Located inside the gated Keowee Key community, the complex sits steps from the illuminated Leisure Trail, parks, beaches and a marina. Residents gain access to broad community amenities — golf, clubhouse dining, multiple pools (including a saltwater outdoor pool and indoor pool), fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, and village-style social programming — through Keowee Key membership and Tall Ships fees. The setting favors low-maintenance lake living suitable for full-time owners, seasonal residents, or short-term rentals.
