This thoughtfully updated Bluffton villa offers a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and location, all wrapped in a truly turn-key package. The well-designed split floor plan features two expansive bedrooms with excellent separation, including a spacious primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet, while the second bedroom is generously sized and conveniently located near the hall bath-ideal for guests, everyday living, or rental use. The living space is inviting and efficient, enhanced by ample storage, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a private balcony that opens to a quiet, natural setting-perfect for relaxing mornings or unwinding in the evening. Significant improvements completed in 2021 include a fully refreshed kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and Bosch appliances, along with a new HVAC system, upgraded flooring in the entry, kitchen, and baths, updated lighting, and a modern thermostat, ensuring both comfort and peace of mind. A private detached garage (#722), impeccably kept and equipped with a newer opener, adds a level of convenience and value rarely found in similar properties. Situated within a gated, amenity-rich community known for its lush landscaping, moss-draped oaks, tranquil lagoons, two resort-style pools, fitness center, and scenic walking paths, the setting is as appealing as the home itself. With Belfair Village just a short walk away and quick access to Hilton Head Island, Old Town Bluffton, and Savannah, this property stands out as an excellent primary residence, an easy lock-and-leave second home, or a strong investment opportunity with lasting value in the Lowcountry.
