Active with contract accepting backups. Why wait when you could be living in your dream home? This gem is just waiting for you on a peaceful cul-de-sac street in gated Sterling Hills! Meticulously landscaped for enhanced curb appeal, it features a functional floor plan that's expansive enough for the whole family. Soaring vaulted ceilings add volume to already spacious living areas. A huge living/dining room combo provides flexibility when you need to host an impromptu family gathering - there's plenty of space to seat everyone! A bonus room just off the front entry would make an excellent home office when you need to buckle down and work or a cozy den for when you just want to curl up with James Patterson's latest novel. It could even be a 5th bedroom or a dedicated playroom. The large family room is the perfect spot for a round of Twister on game night with its chic wood-look porcelain tile. Whether you're snacking late night or whipping up a gourmet feast, you'll love the bright and roomy kitchen with its granite counters, wood cabinets, and pantry. Park yourself at the bar for a quick cup of coffee or tea in the mornings, or grab a spot at the eating nook, which overlooks the lanai and backyard. And because the floor plan is split-bedroom, your master bedroom will forever be a private refuge at the end of a long day. The ensuite master bath boasts a dual sink vanity, a big soaking tub, and a separate shower. There's a linen closet in addition to the enormous walk-in closet, as well. The 3 guest bedrooms are quite sizable; the last guest bedroom even has its own entrance to the 3rd bathroom, so it would make an ideal ''suite'' for visitors or independent teens. Glass sliders in the living room lead out to a super cute screened lanai. Slip through the doors and wind down in the evening with a glass of wine as you enjoy a view of the fully fenced backyard. Sterling Hill is a wonderful community in the heart of Spring Hill with low annual HOA fees and plenty of amenities for the whole family, including 2 clubhouses; 2 fitness centers; 2 community pools; 2 playgrounds; tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, and more. It's only about 5 miles away from an entrance to the Suncoast Parkway for easy access to Tampa and all its amenities, plus the international airport and famous Florida beaches. Silverthorn Country Club with an award-winning, semi-private golf course and full restaurant, is less than 3 miles away. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park with its famous mermaid show, kayak/canoe launch, and water slides falls within a 10-mile radius, as do the Airport Farmers & Flea Market, Anderson Snow Park, Masaryk Winery, Bayfront Health Brooksville, and tons of local shopping and dining options. This is not a home to be missed, see it before it goes!
