The oversized 15-foot granite island seats 6-8 and includes its own sink, dishwasher, and abundant cabinetry, while the main wall offers butcher block counters, decorative tile to the ceiling, a white double farmhouse sink beneath a large window overlooking the backyard and pool, supersized refrigerator and freezer, dedicated coffee bar, and a floor-to-ceiling glass-door pantry with gold accents. Cabinets feature soft-close doors and drawers, pull-out shelves, and a lazy Susan. Step down to the attached family room with matching Saltillo tile, crown molding, a wood-framed glass door to the rear, a wall of windows, and extensive built-ins, while the formal dining room includes real wood floors, chair railing, crown molding, and a large front-facing window. The primary suite offers real wood floors, crown molding, chair railing, a wall-spanning front window, a walk-in closet with custom organization, and an ensuite featuring marble-like tile, cultured marble vanity with gold hardware, vintage oval mirror, and a fully tiled step-in shower with built-in bench and glass shelving. The remodeled guest bath (2020) includes crown molding and a step-in shower with bench and niche. The mudroom features matching Saltillo tile, utility sink, extra storage, washer and dryer, and side exterior access to parking.

Outdoors, the expansive front yard and long driveway create openness and privacy, while the elevated oversized front patio is perfect for morning coffee, gardening, and peaceful wildlife views from the wooded area across the street. The huge fenced backyard features a 10.5-foot-deep saltwater pool with light and advanced cleaning system, newly installed landscaping, extra-large firepit with string lights, hammock space, mature trees, kumquat, loquat, and banana trees, philodendrons, shampoo ginger, a climbing tree, large shed, and chicken coop with run. A buried invisible electric dog fence allows pets to roam freely while preserving the clean, open look of the front yard without visible fencing, and the front garden is supported by irrigation to keep landscaping lush. Downtown Brooksville is just 0.1-0.2 miles away; just a short stroll to the charming local shops, restaurants, community events, library, public tennis courts, playgrounds, and Hernando High School.
