Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece – The Starlite Model (Built in 1959 by Ross Cortese - Revived in 2025)

Step into timeless design and modern comfort with this exceptionally rare Starlite model, built in 1959 by visionary developer Ross Cortese—his elegant nod to the celebrated works of Eichler and Cliff May. Thoughtfully restored and brought back to life, this mid-century modern gem captures the essence of open-concept living and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Set on a prominent 8,400 sq ft corner lot, this single-level 4-bedroom, 2-bath home stands as a focal point of the neighborhood. The drought-tolerant front courtyard and custom Trex deck porch lead to a designer fiberglass entry door accented with premium hardware—an inviting prelude to what lies within.

Inside, the home showcases clean architectural lines, expansive windows, and a signature central fireplace, original to the 1959 design. The open living space flows effortlessly into a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring Thermador stainless-steel appliances, a built-in refrigerator/freezer, quartz countertops, and white oak rift cabinetry hand-selected for both beauty and authenticity.

A set of bi-folding doors opens the living area to a Trex deck patio, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The home is equipped with new central air, a 16 SEER slim-series condenser, and architecturally integrated slab ducting—a rare original design feature.

Each of the four bedrooms and two baths showcases designer finishes curated by Creative Surfaces of Naples, including custom tilework, upgraded lighting, copper plumbing, and modern fixtures. Every detail has been considered, from upgraded electrical systems to EV-charger wiring in the garage.

A true mid-century modern revival—where iconic architecture meets modern luxury.
