Former Elmwood MODEL on the pond: no rear neighbors, western sunsets, and model-plus-owner upgrades, ready to move in now. This 2-bed, 2-bath home with a bonus room sits on 52 feet of pond frontage in Cascades at Southern Hills, a gated 55+ community of just 198 homes in Brooksville. Step out to the screened lanai for the view that sets this home apart: open water, a majestic oak, no homes behind you, and the sun setting over the pond every evening. Inside, the open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas with views to the backyard. Built as Inland Homes’ showcase model, the kitchen features quartz counters, 42-inch wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, a natural gas range, an oversized center island with seating, and a glass-panel pantry door. The split plan gives the primary suite privacy, with a large walk-in closet and a spa-style bath with dual vanities, an oversized walk-in shower, and a private water closet. The second bedroom and bonus room flex as guest space, home office, den, hobby, or fitness room. Owner upgrades are already done: glass-panel front entry door, shiplap accent wall, designer ceiling fans and light fixtures throughout, whole-house water filtration, and an epoxy-coated two-car garage floor. With mature landscaping and the finishing touches in place, there is nothing to wait for and nothing to add. The HOA covers lawn care, irrigation, pest control, cable, and internet, plus the clubhouse, pool, fitness center, pickleball and bocce courts, and a full social calendar. Next door is the Pete Dye-designed Southern Hills Plantation golf course, with optional discounted memberships. The Suncoast Parkway and I-75 put Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Tampa International Airport within easy reach, with shopping, dining, and medical care nearby in Brooksville and Spring Hill. Come watch the sunset from the lanai for yourself.
