Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to this remarkable Santini model home in Esplanade at Starkey Ranch. Here's your chance to own a home so rarely available, only three to four were ever built in the community, and this is one of them. The Santini is a beautifully designed, open-concept floor plan offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,274 square feet of thoughtfully planned living space. From the moment you arrive, pride of ownership is clear. The sealed paver driveway and manicured landscaping offer a preview of the meticulous care within—the current owners are self-proclaimed perfectionists, and it shows. Step onto the covered porch and through the front door, where your luxury experience begins with a tray-ceiling foyer and a striking art installation, which can stay with the home if you like. The home's split floor plan places two bedrooms and a full bath at the front, with the private primary suite tucked thoughtfully at the rear. As you enter the heart of the home, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light greet you. The open kitchen is truly the centerpiece, boasting extended white cabinetry, upgraded quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a stunning backsplash feature behind the gas cooktop. GE Profile appliances include a range hood, double wall ovens, a microwave, and a dishwasher. A large walk-in pantry and extended cabinetry into the dining area provide both beauty and function. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly, anchored by an impressive feature wall with stacked stone, a linear fireplace, and a custom mantle, all under a tray ceiling with recessed LED lighting. Slide open the corner-sliding glass doors to reveal an extended screened lanai, where indoor-outdoor living reaches its peak. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with stone counters, a natural gas grill, cooktop, sink, and generous storage, making it perfect for entertaining. The primary bedroom features an elegant architectural window and upgraded finishes throughout. The en-suite bath offers a spa-like retreat with dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and access to a beautifully designed walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room. The laundry room features cabinetry, quartz counters, a laundry sink, and a washer and dryer. Additional highlights include a tankless gas water heater, water softener and whole-home filtration system, wood-look tile flooring in main areas, upgraded carpeting in the bedrooms, a drop zone with matching quartz counters, window treatments and curtains that convey with the home. A coveted 4' garage extension makes the garage larger for more room! The property sustained no damage during recent storms, does not require flood insurance as it is located in Zone X, and is built to the latest codes with underground utilities. The HVAC system has also been recently serviced. Living in Esplanade means access to a resort-style pool, full gym and fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse with a full-time lifestyle manager, and a full calendar of events, classes, and social activities. Being part of Starkey Ranch also includes access to 22 miles of paved trails, dog parks, playgrounds, community gardens, a boathouse with canoe and kayak access, and nearby amenities including Publix, restaurants, and shopping. This is more than a home—it's a way of life. Virtual tour bit.ly/11325Juglans
