Wake up to quiet mornings, filtered sunlight, and the gentle presence of nature at 48 Blackstone River Rd, located in The Haven at New Riverside- the only 55+ planned community within the Town of Bluffton. With just 500 homes, this gated Del Webb community offers something increasingly rare: privacy, connection, and an easy, fulfilling Lowcountry lifestyle.From the moment you arrive, the setting feels intentional. A wooded preserve across the street means no homes directly in front-just trees, birds, and a sense of calm. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed for both comfort and privacy. The split floor plan provides two spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and ensuite baths, while a separate office with French doors creates the perfect space to read, work, or host visiting family.At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen invites connection-white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, and a sun-filled dining area framed by windows overlooking the outdoors. Whether it's morning coffee or dinner with friends, this is a space meant to be lived in.The great room opens effortlessly to a large screened lanai, elevated and positioned to capture peaceful lagoon views. This becomes your favorite "room" in the house-ideal for outdoor dining, a cozy sunroom, or simply watching the light change over the water. Fences are allowed in The Haven, so your four-legged companion can enjoy it too.The primary suite feels like a retreat, complete with an oversized walk-in closet and spa-like bath featuring a jetted tub and separate walk-in shower. A guest suite, laundry room with built-in drop zone (washer & dryer included), generous attic storage, and a 2-car garage round out the home.Beyond the walls, life at The Haven is about belonging. Enjoy resort-style amenities, walking and biking trails, clubs, events, and a full-time lifestyle director who makes it easy to stay as active-or relaxed-as you choose. And when you're ready to explore, Historic Old Town Bluffton, Hilton Head Island beaches and golf, medical facilities, dining, and Savannah are all just minutes away. Major upgrades- new walnut flooring (2025), new roof (2023), clean stucco report (2025), whole-home generator, new HVAC, new exterior paint, and over $70,000 in improvements-offer peace of mind and true move-in readiness. This isn't just a home-it's a lifestyle designed for the next chapter. And it's waiting for you.
