225 Smokebush Drive offers room to spread out without giving up the ease of main-level living. Located in the 55+ Cascades at Embrey Mill, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath townhome has more than 3,200 finished square feet across three levels, with flexible space for guests, hobbies, and everyday life. Built in 2023 and enhanced with approximately $40,000 in upgrades, including the screened porch, upgraded attic insulation, refrigerator with beverage center, vinyl privacy fence, new garage door and storm door, this home is ready to enjoy. A two-car garage completes a home that pairs generous space with the amenities and convenience of Cascades at Embrey Mill.  The main level brings together the spaces you use most: a spacious primary suite, laundry room, and an open kitchen with granite counters, a large island, and double ovens. High ceilings and a vaulted living room make the home feel bright and welcoming, while the screened porch offers a peaceful spot to unwind overlooking the trees. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a loft provide room for visitors or a home office. The finished walkout lower level adds another bedroom, full bath, living area, and storage, giving guests their own space when they stay. Outside, a stamped concrete patio and fenced yard extend the living space. Enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle that leaves more time for the things you love. Ideally located just minutes from I-95, commuter options, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, Cascades at Embrey Mill combines easy living with an active, connected community. Enjoy pools, a clubhouse, recreation center, scenic trails, green spaces, and regular social events.
