One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. MOVE-IN READY & LOADED WITH UPGRADES! Welcome to 4880 Hickory Oak Dr — a beautifully crafted Azalea model, nestled inside the prestigious manned-gated community of Southern Hills Plantation in Brooksville, FL. With 2,606 sq ft of single-story semi-custom living, this Craftsman gem delivers open-concept elegance, a rare Butler's Pantry, and the coveted Southern Hills lifestyle. Step inside and feel the quality instantly — high tray ceilings, 8-foot doors, 51⁄4" baseboards, and a seamless open floor plan connecting the great room, dining area, and chef's kitchen. The kitchen is a showstopper: 36" gas range with hood, 42" soft-close white shaker cabinets, gorgeous quartz countertops, a huge island with seating, subway tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and the rarely found BUTLER'S PANTRY complete with sink, double cabinets, and space for a wine fridge — a true entertainer's dream. The split floor plan gives everyone privacy. Two guest bedrooms each feature walk-in closets — one acts as a second primary suite with its own private bath. The Owner's Retreat is a true sanctuary: tall tray ceiling, a huge walk-in closet, his-and-her vanities wrapping the entire bath, and a frameless shower. A versatile den/office provides flexible space for working from home or a formal sitting room. Luxury vinyl plank flooring with lifetime warranty throughout all main areas. A tankless gas water heater and four natural gas drops add efficiency. The spacious covered back porch is plumbed for an outdoor kitchen with gas and water — your future pool oasis awaits in the deep, private backyard. The oversized 651 sq ft side-entry 2-car garage (3 cars wide!) provides exceptional storage. Southern Hills offers the Pete Dye Top 100 golf course, resort pool, Har-Tru tennis, pickleball, fitness center, walking trails, and poolside restaurant. Just 45 min to Tampa International via the Suncoast Pkwy. Use builder's lender for a closing cost credit!
