Impeccably upgraded and move-in ready, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath + flex room. This is the Elmwood Model with craftsman elevation. This home is located in the desirable 55+ gated community of The Cascades at Southern Hills and sits on a premium lot with backyard privacy. While new-construction homes may have the basics, this gem goes above and beyond with thoughtful, high-end upgrades that elevate daily living. Enjoy plantation shutters throughout, a screened-in lanai with privacy shades, beautifully installed pavers, enhanced landscaping, and custom ceiling-mounted storage racks in the garage-details that don't come standard in new builds. The open-concept floor plan is bright and welcoming, complemented by upgraded lighting and a flexible layout that is ideal for a home office, craft space, or guest room. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a natural gas range. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. A separate laundry room includes a washer and a gas dryer. Outside, relax year-round on your private lanai, or take advantage of the community's resort-style amenities: clubhouse, pool, fitness center, pickleball, bocce ball, and social activities-all covered under a low-maintenance HOA that also includes lawn care, pest control, irrigation, cable, and internet. Just minutes from the Southern Hills Plantation Club and its Pete Dye-designed championship golf course (optional discounted membership available). Convenient to shopping, healthcare, and dining-this is Florida living at its finest!
