Property Description

Recently refreshed with a repainted interior and thoughtfully restyled indoor and outdoor décor, 2312 Starfish Lane now presents a lighter, more transitional coastal aesthetic that feels both timeless and relaxed. Set within the only gated community along prestigious West Gulf Drive, this exceptional residence is located just across the street from the beach and includes deeded beach access. Positioned on 1.1 acres, the home offers a rare sense of seclusion, overlooking miles of protected land within Frannie’s Preserve. Lush tropical vegetation and native wildlife create a serene, ever-changing backdrop that enhances the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. Designed with both elegance and resilience in mind, the elevated residence is constructed on oversized pilings and incorporates extensive hurricane-rated features. These include impact-resistant doors and windows, a 2023 Miami-Dade-rated standing seam metal roof secured with extra-long 3" stainless steel screws set every 3" for enhanced durability, and a fully engineered pool enclosure anchored with concrete footers and stainless-steel hardware. The elevated home has been framed for the easy addition of an elevator in the future if so desired; all you would need is to remove the false floor in the storage closet and add the equipment (cab, rails, mechanicals). The space is currently being used as a large storage closet but the electrical for the elevator and the framing are already in place for future trim-out if desired. Outdoor living unfolds seamlessly across a generous brick paver pool deck with both covered and open-air spaces for year-round enjoyment. The private pool and spa are enveloped by natural landscaping, offering a peaceful retreat for relaxation or entertaining. Indoors, custom Brazilian lyptus wood cabinetry brings warmth, craftsmanship, and sustainability to the living spaces. Over 2,000 square feet of garage and storage space provides exceptional flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, and island living essentials. Ideally located within walking or biking distance to island dining and attractions, the home balances convenience with privacy. Residents also enjoy access to community amenities including pickleball and tennis courts, a resort-style pool with pool house, and a private security gate. A rare offering in an exclusive enclave, this newer-built residence delivers refined coastal living, thoughtful upgrades, and lasting peace of mind.
