17253 STAR BANKS STREET Have you checked out Wimauma, FL, lately? This 2023 Sunburst model is packed with upgrades and located in Medley at South Shore Bay—a gated, newly built 55+ community known for its vibrant lifestyle and upscale clubhouse. This single-story, standalone home offers curb appeal with a curved front archway, multi-pitched roofline, woodgrain-style garage door, and colorful landscaping (maintained by the association). The convenient community location allows for quick in-and-out access, and there’s plenty of room to spread out with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile flex room. The interior showcases a modern design with stylish paint tones—including a striking navy-blue accent wall and coordinating island—paired with lever door handles, bullnose corners, crown molding, beveled baseboards, and plank tile flooring throughout except in the carpeted bedrooms. The open-concept living space combines the living room, dining area, and entertainer’s kitchen. The kitchen features quartz/quartzite countertops, a 4-seat center, an under-counter stainless steel farmhouse sink with a sprayer faucet, sponge caddy, and disposer. KCMA sustainable 42” white shaker cabinets are topped with molding, have pull-out shelves and drawers, and are enhanced by dimmable LED under-cab lighting. A corner walk-in pantry and GE stainless steel appliances—including a gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator with water/ice dispenser—complete this impressive space. The entire home is equipped with a filtration water softener, providing clean, drinkable water. The bedrooms are split at opposite ends of the home, with the primary suite tucked away at the back of home. The east side of the home features a smart and unique layout: the primary bedroom connects to a sprawling en-suite bath complete with dual sinks, a makeup vanity, a glass-framed, easy step-in shower with bench seating, and a water closet. Thanks to the tankless water heater, you can enjoy long, hot showers. The walk-in closet flows directly into the laundry room, which can be closed off from the main living space for added convenience. The laundry room includes a white GE top-load W/D, a modern washtub sink with sprayer faucet, cabinet storage, and a place to plug in rechargeable vacuums. Step through tinted glass sliders into the oversized screened lanai—perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing, complete with remote privacy screen, patio TV wiring, and string light hooks. The 2 car garage features an insulated, impact-rated Banko door, LiftMaster smart opener, built-in cabinets, tool hook, LED lighting, and a raised threshold for cleaner entry. A convenient drop-zone counter sits just inside the home’s garage entry, and the A/C condenser has its own closet. Storm protection panels are neatly organized for all dual-pane vinyl windows—qualifying for wind mitigation credits. This is a golf cart-friendly neighborhood with a resort-style clubhouse offering a restaurant, indoor/outdoor bar, computer center, dining areas, ballroom, pool table, lagoon pool, fitness center, lifestyle clubs, pickleball, bocce ball, turfed cornhole, and dog walking area. One of the most impressive clubhouses this Realtor has seen. I would highly recommend planning your showing around lunch or dinner time to taste test the clubhouse restaurant. Residents also enjoy access to the famed Southshore Bay Lagoon. Whether relaxing at home or joining the fun, this exceptional home delivers the best of Florida’s 55+ lifestyle.
