The great room's 22-foot ceilings and window walls maximize views of Lake Martin.
Kenneth Boone
For many, a home on Lake Martin is often a getaway, but for Jim and Kimberly Mathews, it is the culmination of a career spent building thousands of homes and a lifetime of memories on the water.
Nestled within The Heritage, a premier Russell Lands development, the Mathews’ residence is more than just a house; it is a “perfectly imperfect” masterpiece of transitional design, family legacy and the ultimate country club on the lake lifestyle.
The primary bedroom was designed with bright finishes and expansive lake views.
