12501 TIBBETTS STREET ODESSA FL 33556 MLS #W7888093 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Some homes check the boxes. This one changes the list. Welcome to 12501 Tibbetts Street, where one of Whitfield Park’s rare oversized homesites creates something especially hard to find in Starkey Ranch: space, privacy and your own resort-style escape. Set on more than a quarter acre along a quiet street, this beautifully maintained Craftsman offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2,850 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space.

Mature, refreshed landscaping surrounds the home and creates a private oasis before you even step inside. The light-filled interior feels fresh and inviting, with high ceilings, an open floor plan and updated flooring flowing through the main living spaces. The kitchen is designed for real life and effortless entertaining with generous cabinetry, stone countertops, a large island, walk-in pantry with a custom organization system and a convenient pull-out trash cabinet. The great room opens directly to the lanai, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection, while a sophisticated four-zone Sonos sound system lets you set the soundtrack throughout the home right from the app.

A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a private office or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the expansive loft offers room for movie nights, gaming, fitness or a second living area. The spacious primary retreat features a custom-designed walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level.

Now for the showstopper. Slide open the doors to an expansive screened paver lanai and sparkling saltwater pool surrounded by one of the largest yards in the neighborhood. The freshly cleaned and sealed pavers, mature landscaping and wide stretches of green space make this backyard feel like a private resort, with room to swim, entertain, play or simply exhale. Even better, all lanai furnishings are included, so your first poolside happy hour is already planned. A removable pool safety fence is also included. The property sits on approximately 0.27 acre and features a screened, lighted saltwater pool with a child safety fence.

Additional upgrades include custom roller shades, six new ceiling fans, a water softener, twice-yearly HVAC servicing, suspended garage storage racks and dedicated bike racks. Water softener included. All of this is tucked into Whitfield Park, close to Starkey Ranch’s celebrated parks, trails, community pools, playgrounds, tennis courts, dog park and Starkey Ranch K-8.

Big lot. Private pool. Beautifully finished. Completely ready for fun. This is not just another Starkey Ranch home. This is the one everyone wishes would come on the market.
