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!
