Rarely does a home of this caliber, on a homesite of this size and privacy, come available in Starkey Ranch. Perfectly positioned on an oversized .28-acre pie-shaped lot with 68 feet of pond frontage, this Taylor Morrison Tortola pool home offers a level of space, design, and refinement that is exceptionally hard to find.
Set along an estate-lined street, the home enjoys enhanced privacy with no rear neighbors and peaceful views of water, conservation, and natural landscape. The setting feels expansive and serene while still being connected to one of Tampa Bay’s most desirable communities.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal makes an impression with a tile roof, paver driveway, Craftsman-style front porch, and a split 3-car garage. The home sits gracefully on the curve, giving it a presence that feels more like a private estate than a typical neighborhood property. Double glass entry doors open into a dramatic 22-foot foyer, where a wood and wrought iron staircase sets the tone for the design throughout.
Inside, the home is both elevated and highly functional. Wide plank RevWood moisture-resistant laminate flooring brings warmth and durability, while high ceilings and a light-filled open layout create a seamless flow from room to room. Every finish has been thoughtfully selected to balance comfort with a refined, polished feel.
The kitchen is a true centerpiece and goes far beyond builder-grade. It features quartz countertops, shaker white cabinetry, upgraded stainless appliances including a gas range, and a custom-built walk-in pantry that is as practical as it is visually impressive. A large island in dark grey anchors the space, complemented by seeded glass pendant lighting, a French apron cast iron sink, water filtration system, pull out trash cabinet and ample storage along with room to entertain or sit and enjoy meals.
A dry bar with a wine refrigerator, and custom under and upper cabinet lighting that adds both depth and ambiance. The kitchen opens effortlessly into the main living areas. The great room open floorplan is enhanced with wood beams and a beautiful custom accent wall painted in a subtle hue of blue with views of the pool and outdoor oasis.
Expansive pocketing sliders create a seamless transition to the outdoor living space. The covered and screened lanai offers room for an outdoor family room with a TV and opens to a saltwater pool with a sun shelf, fountains, and swim-out, creating a true resort-style experience at home. An outdoor kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, gas burner, and natural gas grill, eliminating the need for propane, and is perfectly positioned for hosting. Beyond the pool, the lanai continues with additional green space for play or relaxation, along with a putting green and professionally designed landscaping. Landscape lighting, partial fencing, and the absence of rear neighbors enhance both privacy and enjoyment in the expansive yard with plenty of room behind the pool for more play.
The first-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat with views of the pool and backyard. It includes a gorgeous custom paneled accent wall and an oversized ensuite featuring dual vanities, a custom walk-in closet, a spa-style shower, and a private water closet.
Also on the main level is a fifth bedroom with its own ensuite bath, providing flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a dedicated office space.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each feature walk-in closets. One bedroom includes a private ensuite bath, while the others share a dual-vanity bathroom with a separate bathing area. A spacious bonus room with a custom built-in wall offers flexibility for a media room, gym, or additional lounge space. The current stage platform in the room is not built in and can easily be removed to suit a variety of uses.
This home includes an extensive list of upgrades that add both convenience and long-term value. The garage is equipped with Tesla and Rivian charging stations and ceiling-mounted storage racks. Main floor laundry room is decked out with a set of LG washer and dryer, cabinetry and preplumbed for a laundry sink. In the hall to the garage is a custom drop zone with quartz cabinetry that provides an organized entry from the garage. An additional half bath is tastefully wallpapered. The extra under-stair closet has ample storage.
The home also features a whole-house HALO water purification and ionization system, a water softener, tankless gas water heater, Ecobee smart thermostats, upgraded interior lighting, and energy-efficient windows and systems.
Additional enhancements include Trimlight permanent exterior lighting, landscape lighting, and thoughtful design elements throughout that elevate both form and function. The exterior has been freshly painted, and the home has been meticulously maintained with no storm damage or insurance concerns.
