The home is located at the sixteenth fairway of Riverchase Country Club, according to the listing. The home is “perfect for hosting” guests, it says.

“A bright home office with built-ins adds a touch of luxury,” the listing continues. “The main level primary suite is a retreat, featuring the second fireplace, custom closets, and a spa-like bath with skylight, soaking tub, & separate shower.”

The home features a gourmet kitchen with an “expansive island” and “cozy keeping room.” The primary bedroom is on the first floor and the second floor features two additional ensuite bedrooms and “a bonus room invites endless possibilities.”

Listing agent Cathy O’Berry said the home meant a lot to the Starr family.

“My goal is to find new owners who will cherish this home as much as the Starr family did, and who will feel the deep love and warmth that has been poured into every corner,” she said. “Throughout this process, I’ve been touched by the many stories shared about Bart, Cherry, and their son, Bart Jr.—stories of kindness, generosity, and genuine care for others. Their legacy has inspired me to reflect on my own life and strive to be a light in the lives of others, just as they were. This home is more than a place to live; it’s a testament to a life well-lived and a reminder to treat others with the same love and respect we all seek.”

The property features plentiful outdoor spaces, such as covered porches, open patios and “manicured grounds that lead to your private tennis court.”

The listing says, “After a match, unwind in the ‘tennis lounge’ complete with a full bath.”
