Home for Sale in Chapin, SC
A home constructed by a local builder for his mother in 2023, 1664 Wonder Drive in Chapin, SC is the pinnacle of custom construction, setting the standard for expectations at this price point while making one mom very happy. The home is situated on a flat, 1.25 acre double lot across from Lake Murray and within walking distance to the Lake Murray Marina.
A wide circle drive frames the front yard and creates an impressive approach with plenty of parking for guests in the circle or in the expanded drive to the left side of the home, leading to an oversized 3-car garage. From the front porch, enjoy views of Lake Murray before stepping through beautiful solid oak doors into a thoughtfully designed one-level floor plan. The foyer opens to a private office with smoked-glass French doors for privacy and built-ins. The foyer flows into the stunning family room, featuring built-ins with custom tile, designer finishes, a gas fireplace, and seamless connection to the kitchen and outdoor living spaces.
The family room opens to a vaulted, covered, screened porch with an outdoor kitchen featuring an oversized grill, commercial vented hood, separate burner, large sink, fridge, and storage. There is plenty of room for seating, all overlooking the private backyard and saltwater pool, which features 18,000 gallons, a gentle slope to 5 feet deep, and an oversized sun deck. There are two large grass sections on either side of the backyard, perfect for play.
Inside, the designer kitchen offers abundant counter and cabinet space, stainless appliances, a large dining area, and a true walk-in pantry with built-in storage and countertop space. Around the corner, the laundry room provides additional storage and workspace, conveniently located near the drop zone and oversized three-car garage with a storage room and pull-down attic access.
The owner’s suite is tucked privately at the back of the home and features a spa-like bath with a large walk-through shower, designer soaking tub, dual vanities, private water closet, generous storage, and an exceptional closet with built-in shelving, hanging systems, and drawers.
On the opposite side of the home, a true multigenerational suite offers incredible flexibility with a private den, storage closet, and hidden kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, microwave area, countertop space, and cabinetry. If not needed as a separate living space, this area is ideal for entertaining, a game room, playroom, or second sitting area.
Bedroom two includes a walk-in closet, linen storage, and a private full bath with a walk-in shower that rivals many primary suites. This area is located just off the second den and is designed for accessibility. Bedrooms three and four share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and both offer excellent closet storage. This is a rare custom home with luxury finishes, thoughtful function, Lake Murray proximity, and an exceptional layout.
Located in the Lexington District V school district, Wonder Drive is zoned for Lake Murray Elementary (3.2 miles), Chapin Intermediate (4.5 miles), Chapin Middle (8.7 miles), and Chapin High (8.7 miles).

Frequently Asked Questions — 1664 Wonder Drive, Chapin, SC
A quick reference for buyers considering this custom 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on a 1.25-acre double lot across from Lake Murray. If your question isn't answered here, reach out and we'll get you specifics.
How close is 1664 Wonder Drive to Lake Murray?
The home sits directly across from Lake Murray, with lake views visible from the front porch. It is within walking distance to the Lake Murray Marina, which gives you easy access to boating, dining, and the lake's social scene without owning waterfront yourself — and without a waterfront price tag.
Is this a true double lot, and how big is it?
Yes. The property is a flat 1.25-acre double lot, which is unusually large for this corridor. The extra width gives you two generous grass sections flanking the backyard pool, plus enough frontage for the wide circle drive and an expanded side drive leading to the three-car garage.
Who built the home and when?
The home was custom-built in 2023 by a local builder for his own mother. That detail matters: when a builder constructs a home for family, the finish work, layout decisions, and material choices reflect the standard he would set for the people closest to him, not a spec-grade budget.
Is the home all on one level?
Yes. The entire floor plan — owner's suite, multigenerational suite, three additional bedrooms, family room, kitchen, office, laundry, and drop zone — is on a single level. There is also pull-down attic access through the garage for additional storage.
Tell us about the multigenerational suite.
The opposite wing of the home is configured as a true secondary living space. It includes a private den, a storage closet, and a hidden kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, microwave area, countertop space, and cabinetry. Bedroom two on this side has its own walk-in closet, linen storage, and a private full bath with a walk-in shower designed for accessibility. If you don't need a separate living wing, the same space works beautifully as a game room, playroom, guest suite, or second sitting area.
What is the pool like?
The backyard pool is a saltwater system holding 18,000 gallons, with a gentle slope to 5 feet deep and an oversized sun deck. It is positioned to be enjoyed from the screened porch and from the two large grass sections on either side of the yard.
What's the outdoor living setup?
Off the family room, the home opens to a vaulted, covered, screened porch with a full outdoor kitchen — oversized grill, commercial vented hood, separate burner, large sink, refrigerator, and storage. There is room for full dining and lounge seating, all overlooking the pool and the private backyard.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms, and how is the sleeping wing laid out?
The home has four bedrooms and three full baths. The owner's suite is privately tucked at the back of the home with a spa bath — walk-through shower, designer soaking tub, dual vanities, a private water closet, and a custom closet with built-in shelving, hanging systems, and drawers. Bedrooms three and four share a well-designed Jack-and-Jill bath, with strong closet storage in both rooms. Bedroom two sits in the multigenerational wing with its own private full bath.
What kind of garage and parking does it have?
An oversized three-car garage with a dedicated storage room and pull-down attic access. A wide circle drive frames the front of the home with parking for several guests, and an expanded driveway on the left side leads back to the garage.
What schools is the home zoned for?
The property is in Lexington District V. Current zoning is:
Lake Murray Elementary — 3.2 miles
Chapin Intermediate — 4.5 miles
Chapin Middle — 8.7 miles
Chapin High — 8.7 miles
We recommend confirming current zoning with the district directly before contract, as boundary lines can shift year to year.
Is there an HOA?
There is no HOA governing this property, which is part of what makes the 1.25-acre double-lot setup, the circle drive, and the saltwater pool feasible without restriction.
What's the asking price?
$1,350,000. For a fully custom, builder-personal home with this lot size, this floor plan, and this proximity to Lake Murray and the marina, we believe the value here is strong — and we are happy to walk you through comparable Chapin and Lake Murray sales so you can evaluate it on your own terms.
