4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ Star Farms SubDv. ⋅ 34211 Zip Code
Emerald Series homes are no longer offered in Star Farms, which makes this 2023-built Caroline model hard to replace. The two-story layout has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,756 square feet of living space, and the owner has added upgrades throughout. Curb appeal is strong from the start. A widened paver driveway, tile roof, and gutters set the tone, and 8-foot doors carry that sense of scale inside. Crown molding adds a finished, custom feel, and extra base cabinetry in the kitchen gives you the storage and prep space most homes in this category don’t have. The great room is the showpiece. A gorgeous tiled feature wall anchors the space with an electric fireplace, illuminated shelving, and additional cabinetry for storage. It works as both a focal point and a practical place to keep everything out of sight. Outdoors, the screened lanai uses no-see-um screening, so you can enjoy Florida evenings without the bugs. The extended paver patio in the backyard adds even more room to entertain, grill, or relax, and a hidden paver pad for the trash cans keeps the exterior clean and tidy. The garage is finished with epoxy floors, and the shelving is attached to the wall in a way that keeps the builder’s ceiling warranty intact. Bermuda screens cover all windows except the lanai sliders, reducing the need for hurricane shutters. Then there’s Star Farms, the real draw. This is a true resort-lifestyle village with two restaurants already open, including a poolside bar and grill, so dinner and drinks are a short stroll or golf cart ride from home. You’ll also find multiple fitness centers, multiple resort-style pools, and so much more. A splash pad and a bucket drop are under construction, adding even more reasons to live outside and get to know your neighbors. Move-in ready, upgraded where it counts, and set in one of Lakewood Ranch’s most amenity-rich communities. Schedule your private showing today.
