Virtually Staged. A rare opportunity to own a standout home in Starkey Ranch, where newer construction, a premium homesite, extensive upgrades and resort-style outdoor living come together in one exceptional property. Built in 2019, this Taylor Morrison Amelia floorplan was designed with nearly $120,000 in builder upgrades and has continued to be thoughtfully enhanced by its current owners.
Set on an oversized homesite backing to open greenspace, the home offers a level of space and privacy that is hard to find in the Tampa Bay area, especially in a community like Starkey Ranch. The sought-after single-story design offers expansive one-level living, generous gathering spaces, elevated finishes and a 3-car garage with room for vehicles, storage, hobbies and recreational equipment.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen with an expansive quartz-topped center island, wood cabinetry, GE Profile stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, and a walk-in pantry. The dining area comfortably accommodates a table for 10 to 12, making it ideal for everything from holiday dinners to casual gatherings. Coved and tray ceilings add architectural interest to the main living areas and primary suite.
The primary suite enjoys a beautiful pool view and a spacious bath with a wall-to-wall walk-in shower, garden tub, expansive dual vanity, large water closet and walk-in closet with a flexible, customizable storage system. Bedroom 2 has its own ensuite bath, while an office nook just off the oversized laundry room adds convenient workspace.
The care and investment in this home are evident throughout. Beyond the original builder upgrades, the owners added bamboo flooring, a whole-home water treatment system, generator, hurricane shutters, upgraded landscaping, a high-end resort-style pool with waterfall grotto and an outdoor kitchen.
Step outside into your own private Florida retreat. The saltwater pool features a grotto, waterfall and tanning ledge, while the covered lanai, outdoor kitchen and dedicated dining and gathering areas make entertaining or relaxing at home effortless. Open greenspace behind the property and no rear neighbor directly behind add to the sense of privacy. Recreating a comparable outdoor haven today—including the pool, hardscape, covered entertaining space, outdoor kitchen and landscaping—could represent an estimated investment exceeding $250,000. Here, it is already complete and ready for you to enjoy.
Starkey Ranch is one of the Tampa Bay area's most desirable master-planned communities, known for miles of trails, parks, recreational amenities, preserved natural surroundings and proximity to the Starkey Wilderness Preserve. The community also offers convenient access to top-rated public and private schools, shopping, dining and everyday conveniences.
If you’ve been looking for a newer home with more space, more privacy and upgrades that are already done, 3816 Bonfire Dr is one you’ll want to see. The premium homesite, single-story layout, nearly $120,000 in original builder upgrades, 3-car garage and resort-style backyard are each impressive on their own. Having them all together—and avoiding the time, cost and effort to recreate them—is what makes this such a special opportunity. *Bedroom 4 has been virtually staged to help showcase its potential and functionality. The room is currently being used by the sellers for organizing and preparing for their move.*
