About This Property
THE BUILDER'S MODEL HOME - The actual former Cardel model home in Starling at FishHawk Ranch, this distinctive HGTV-worthy residence is beautifully appointed with all the bells and whistles you would expect from a showcase home and enjoys a prime location next to a community park and just steps from the state-of-the-art Starling Club and Pool. Stunning curb appeal welcomes you with a brick-paver driveway, decorative garage door, stone accents, inviting front porch, and beveled leaded-glass entry door. Inside, vaulted ceilings and wood floors create an open, elegant atmosphere, while the gourmet kitchen features 42-inch cabinetry, a center island, tile backsplash, built-in desk space, and upgraded appliances, all overlooking a spacious family room with triple sliders and a transom window framing views of the sparkling saltwater pool and expansive screened lanai. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four dedicated bedrooms, generously sized secondary bedrooms sharing a full bath, a dedicated home office with French doors, and an enormous upstairs bonus room complete with a beverage center, half bath, cabinetry, and abundant natural light.
