About the Interior
How is the home laid out?
The home is a single-story 5,000-square-foot floor plan organized around an open family room, kitchen, and living room that open through bifold and sliding glass walls to the pool and gardens. The private wing holds the primary suite with a spa wet room, three additional bedrooms, and two reconfigured rooms — a private gym and a flexible lounge with custom cabinetry and integrated wine storage — that can be returned to bedroom use for a total of six.
What is in the kitchen?
A full Thermador appliance suite, a waterfall-edge quartz island, gloss-grey custom cabinetry with satin gold accents, and a custom walk-in pantry with integrated lighting.
What recent renovations have been completed?
The home was completely redesigned and is offered turnkey. The most recent renovation was completed in 2024, with interior and exterior paint freshened in 2026. Updates include a Thermador kitchen, large-format Spanish porcelain flooring throughout, PGT impact-rated glass on all windows and doors, two new air-conditioning systems, new water heaters, a new deep-water well, and a finished three-car garage with epoxy floors.
What primary-suite features are included?
The primary suite includes a spa wet room and generous walk-in closet, situated on the private wing of the home and opening to the pool and garden through impact-rated sliding glass.
What flooring is used throughout the home?
The main living areas are finished in large-format Spanish porcelain — a contemporary material prized for its scale, precision, and longevity. The bedrooms are appointed in designer-grade Spanish porcelain selected for texture and refinement. The palette throughout is modern and cohesive, sourced entirely from Spain.
Are the closets and storage areas built out?
Every storage space in the home has been fully customized. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry with full built-out shelving and recessed lighting. The laundry room is fitted with a complete built-out closet. All guest bedrooms have full built-out closets. The primary suite includes built-out his-and-hers closets, and the primary bath has its own dedicated built-out closet as well. Nothing is left as raw shell — the home is move-in ready at every level of detail.
About the Grounds
What is included on the two-acre property?
The grounds are organized into distinct outdoor rooms across two acres. At the front, a Japanese-influenced serenity reflection pool with waterfall creates the arrival experience. The rear is organized around a main swimming pool, fire pit terrace with wraparound lounge, covered outdoor kitchen pavilion with grill and built-in seating, outdoor dining terrace with built-in speakers, and layered hidden gardens with mature landscaping. A circular 25-car motor court sits behind dual electric gates.
Are there multiple pools?
Two distinct water features, each with its own purpose and placement. The main swimming pool anchors the rear of the property — a full resort-scale pool set within the garden and entertaining terraces. At the front, a Japanese-style serenity reflection pool with a waterfall creates the arrival experience: still water, sound, and landscape before you reach the door.
What is the landscape style?
A Japanese-influenced biophilic composition. The grounds are designed as a sequence of curated outdoor rooms — pool terrace, fire pit, reflection pool, hidden gardens, dining and lounge — rather than a single open lawn.
Is the property equestrian-permitted?
Sunshine Ranches was designed with wide road easements to accommodate equestrian traffic, and horses are a common sight on the streets. This lot is zoned to accommodate equestrian facilities — paddock, run-in shed, riding ring — should a buyer wish to add them. Specific zoning details are available on request.
About Marvin Lane
How many estates are on Marvin Lane?
Nine. Marvin Lane is a single cul-de-sac inside Sunshine Ranches with no through-traffic.
Is Marvin Lane a cul-de-sac, or is there through-traffic?
Marvin Lane is a cul-de-sac. There is no through-traffic — the street exists solely to serve its nine estates. Combined with the ALPR security system at the entry and dual electric gates at the property itself, the result is a level of quiet and privacy that simply cannot be replicated on a through street.
What security features serve the street?
The cul-de-sac entry is protected by Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) integrated directly with local law enforcement. The property itself operates dual electric gates at both ends of the circular motor court.
How private is the cul-de-sac?
There is no through-traffic. Lots are two acres or larger, gates are common, and most homes are set back from the road. The street’s nine-estate count is intentionally low.
About Sunshine Ranches
What is the difference between Sunshine Ranches and Southwest Ranches?

How large is the Sunshine Ranches community?
Approximately 575 estates across 4.2 square miles, all on lots of two acres or larger.
Is there an HOA in Sunshine Ranches?

Are horses allowed in Sunshine Ranches?
Yes. Sunshine Ranches retains its equestrian character — wide road setbacks were designed specifically to accommodate horses, riding trails run through the community, and the nearby Sunshine Ranches Equestrian Park offers riding arenas and paddocks open to residents.
What schools are near the property?
The property is convenient to both highly regarded public schools and private institutions throughout the Broward County area. Buyers with school-age children are encouraged to verify current zoning and enrollment options directly with Broward County Public Schools, as boundaries are subject to change.
