This stunning 2-bedroom + flex room/bonus, 2-bathroom home was built in 2020 and has been masterfully reimagined with over $130,000 in documented high-end renovations in Hernando County’s premier 55+ community, The Cascades at Southern Hills. The open-concept interior layout is beautifully illuminated by comprehensive LED lighting and finished with ½-inch AquaGuard flooring, fresh paint, 6-inch baseboards, and custom-cased doorways. In the kitchen, a chef's layout features an upgraded stainless-steel sink and a custom banquette seating area with built-in storage. The primary bedroom serves as a private retreat, complete with custom lighting, built-in shelving, an accent ceiling detail, and a fully reconfigured en-suite bathroom. This spa-like bathroom is masterfully engineered with Hardie board shower walls, custom tilework, a ½-inch frameless glass shower panel, a Cambria quartz double vanity, and all-new plumbing valves and fixtures. The aesthetic elegance continues into the guest bathroom, which has been completely renovated to match the high standard of the rest of the home. Nearby, the versatile flex room serves as an ideal home office and comes complete with a built-in Cambria quartz desk. Custom tongue-and-groove wood plank ceilings with elegant crown molding further elevate the main living areas. For maximum storm resilience, the property is fully equipped with a Kohler 20kW whole-home generator and Nautilus hurricane roll-down shutters. Modern utility systems include a Culligan water softener system, a Taexx built-in pest control system with tubing in the walls, and a comprehensive Linus home security system. The home's exterior is fully protected with Weather Guard paint and enhanced by LED outdoor lighting, while the garage features custom shelving and optimized organization systems. The low HOA fee covers cable, internet, and landscaping maintenance for worry-free living. Residents enjoy a spectacular amenity center with a resort-style pool, lounge deck, multi-room clubhouse, fitness center, fireplace, and pickleball courts, plus an optional discounted membership to the award-winning Southern Hills Plantation golf club. Beyond the gates, the location seamlessly blends Old Florida charm with modern convenience and effortless regional accessibility. You are located just minutes from the Suncoast Parkway entrance, making commutes, airport runs, down to Tampa and St. Petersburg incredibly smooth and fast. The home is also just four miles from historic downtown Brooksville, famous for its local boutiques, seasonal festivals, and popular dining like the Florida Cracker Kitchen.
