Property Description

If your dream home includes sipping drinks poolside while steaks sizzle on the grill—all with lush conservation views and zero rear neighbors—this is the one. Welcome to your private resort in Starkey Ranch: a 2022 Taylor Morrison Tortola loaded with over $250,000 in upgrades, a heated pool and spa, and a custom outdoor kitchen that’s ready for your next sunset dinner party. Set on a rare 236-foot deep homesite on a quiet cul-de-sac in Whitfield Preserve, this .36-acre lot backs directly to nature. No neighbors behind you, just breezes, birds, and total backyard tranquility. The exterior makes an impression from the start with a flat tile roof, Hardie siding, brand new paver driveway, lush tropical landscaping, and a welcoming covered front porch. Inside, the wow factor continues with soaring 22-foot foyer ceilings, upgraded lighting, crown molding, 8-foot doors, and wide-plank luxury Mohawk Revwood laminate flooring throughout the entire first floor and upstairs hallway. (It’s stylish and scratch, stain, water, fade, and dent resistant—basically indestructible.) The open-concept living space was made for entertaining. The great room features a double tray ceiling, crown molding, and pocketing sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall, leading to your nearly 1,400-square-foot screened lanai. The custom outdoor kitchen includes a natural gas grill, sink, bar fridge, granite countertops, a backsplash, and peninsula seating—everything you need to cook, host, and soak up the good life under the stars. Back inside, the gourmet kitchen features 42” Timberlake cabinetry with crown molding, a 5-burner GE Café gas cooktop, matching range hood, smart refrigerator, dishwasher, Moen motion-sense faucet, level 5 quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a custom island with pendant lighting. There’s also a built-in dry bar with a wine fridge and glass-front cabinets—because even your storage should sparkle. A large walk-in pantry keeps it all beautifully organized. The downstairs primary suite offers views of the pool and trees, a tray ceiling with crown molding, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, makeup counter, frameless walk-in shower, and a custom closet system that dreams are made of. Also on the main level is a private guest suite with full bath—ideal for visitors, in-laws, or a dedicated office space. Upstairs, you'll find flexible bonus room with preserve views and a tray ceiling, plus three additional bedrooms—all with walk-in closets. One features its own en-suite bath; the other two share a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities and private shower/toilet setup. More to love: laundry room with front-load washer and dryer, a custom drop zone with quartz and cabinetry off the garage, UV lights on both AC units, built-in WiFi extenders, Cat 5 wiring, satin nickel finishes, upgraded bathroom tile, security system pre-wire, garage refrigerator, epoxy floors, water filtration system, water softener, and full gutters. Solid concrete block construction. No flood zone. No hurricane damage. Low insurance and energy-efficient by design. Of course Starkey Ranch delivers: resort-style pools, splash pads, playgrounds, 22+ miles of scenic trails, dog parks, sports fields, K-8 school and library, and an active community vibe you’ll love being part of. Publix, restaurants, medical care, and top schools are just minutes away, and you’re 30 minutes to Tampa Intnl Airport and some of Florida’s best beaches. More here: bit.ly/12539Wetmore
