Luxury, privacy, and over $250k in upgrades—this is the ultimate Starkey Ranch dream home. This luxurious estate home with a pool and spa sits on a picturesque oversized lot in the lifestyle community of Starkey Ranch. The Taylor Morrison Tortola model, newly built in 2022, is situated on one of the deepest homesites in the neighborhood—an impressive 236 feet deep on a 0.36-acre lot that backs to conservation for unmatched privacy. Offering 3457 square feet of living space, this home features five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a spacious bonus room, and a three-car split garage.
The exterior showcases Craftsman charm with a flat tile roof, Hardie siding, a brand new paver driveway, lush landscaping, a designer-selected paint scheme, and a welcoming covered front porch. Inside, you’ll be greeted by soaring 22-foot ceilings, tray ceilings, an upgraded spindle staircase, Sherwin-Williams paint, crown molding, designer lighting, and Mohawk RevWood luxury laminate flooring throughout the first floor and upstairs hallway. This eco-friendly flooring offers a realistic hardwood look while being water, scratch, stain, fade, and dent resistant for low-maintenance luxury.
The open-concept layout centers around a grand living room with double tray ceilings and crown molding, where pocket sliding glass doors open fully to a nearly 1400 square foot screened lanai. This outdoor retreat features a heated pool and spa, LED lighting, pavers, and a custom outdoor kitchen complete with a natural gas grill, sink, bar fridge, storage, granite counters, backsplash, and peninsula seating. Back inside, the gourmet kitchen is a showstopper with GE Café appliances including a five-burner natural gas cooktop, designer range hood, dishwasher, and smart refrigerator. White 42-inch Timberlake cabinets are finished with crown molding and paired with Moen motion-sense faucets, a tile backsplash, level 5 quartz countertops, a large island with custom legs, and pendant lighting. An extended dry bar with a wine fridge and glass cabinets adds both style and storage, while the large walk-in pantry ensures functionality. A spacious dining area with a designer chandelier completes the main living space.
The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat with tray ceilings, crown molding, and views of the pool and preserve. The spa-inspired ensuite bath features dual vanities, a makeup counter, a frameless glass walk-in shower, and a custom-designed walk-in closet. A guest suite with a private bath is also located on the main floor, ideal for hosting or a private office setup. Upstairs, one bedroom includes an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets share a bathroom with dual vanities and a separate shower and toilet area. A large bonus room with tray ceilings and preserve views offers flexible space for entertainment or relaxation. The laundry room is conveniently located on the main level and includes a front-load washer and dryer. A custom drop zone with upgraded cabinetry and quartz is located off the garage.
Additional upgrades include UV lights on both AC units, built-in WiFi extenders, Cat 5 wiring, added electric, a security system, designer fixtures, upgraded Moen faucets, satin nickel finishes, full overlay cabinetry, upgraded bathroom tile, 8-foot doors, 5 1/4-inch baseboards, garage refrigerator, and top-tier quartz throughout. The garage features epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, and a full water softener and filtration system. The home has gutters throughout, experienced no damage in recent hurricanes, is not in a flood zone, and was built to the latest building codes for maximum efficiency, resulting in low insurance and utility costs.
