5401 MATCH POINT PLACE, LITHIA, FL 33547

Welcome to Starling at FishHawk Ranch — one of the Tampa Bay area's most sought-after master-planned communities, where tree-lined streets, resort-style amenities, and top-rated schools come together in the heart of Lithia. This stunning 2-story contemporary sits on a prime corner lot surrounded by mature oak trees, offering exceptional curb appeal and a rare sense of privacy within the neighborhood. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office, and a spacious loft — 2,416 square feet designed for the way modern households actually live. The main floor flows beautifully, anchored by an open kitchen and family room combination featuring stone counters, a gas range, and all appliances included — refrigerator, washer, and dryer stay with the home. High ceilings and an open floorplan maximize natural light and create an airy, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor, offering a true retreat with a walk-in closet and private bath — no stairs required at the end of the day. A dedicated office or flex room on the first floor adds versatility for working from home, a playroom, or formal dining. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath, while the oversized 15x15 loft delivers the perfect bonus space — media room, game room, gym, or homework hub. Step outside and enjoy multiple outdoor living options: a covered front porch perfect for morning coffee, a rear porch for evening relaxation, and a balcony overlooking the lush, landscaped backyard. The rear-facing 2-car garage with alley access keeps the front elevation clean and architecturally intact. Rain gutters, a metered irrigation system with reclaimed water, and mature oak trees round out a yard that's easy to love and maintain. Natural gas powers the range, furnace, and water heater — an efficiency advantage that sets this home apart from many in the area. Then there's FishHawk Ranch itself. Residents of Starling enjoy an extraordinary range of community amenities: resort-style pool, fitness center, clubhouse, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, playground, dog park, parks, and miles of scenic trails — all easily accessible via sidewalk-lined streets with street lighting. Deed restrictions help protect property values, and the community's reclaimed water irrigation system helps keep maintenance costs low. The HOA fee? Just $156 annually — one of the lowest assessments you'll find in a community with this level of amenity and infrastructure. Zoned for three of Hillsborough County's highest-rated schools: Stowers Elementary, Barrington Middle, and Newsome High — consistently ranked among the best in the region. Whether you're upsizing, relocating, or simply ready for a home that checks every box, 5401 Match Point Place delivers the FishHawk lifestyle at an exceptional value.
