This 10,230 square foot homesite is offered as a true blank canvas. The original residence has been removed and the lot cleared and prepped for redevelopment, so you begin with a clean, buildable parcel rather than a demolition project. Better still, municipality-approved building plans are already in place and available to the next owner, a rare head start that can save months of design, review and permitting time, or simply serve as inspiration for a vision entirely your own. Zoned RSF-2 for single-family use with public sewer and electric available at the site, and situated outside a designated flood zone, an increasingly rare combination this close to the water. Just down the street, Sun Circle Park opens to Sarasota Bay, a favorite spot for sunset views and morning walks along the shoreline. The Ringling Museum, the Sarasota Art Museum and New College are minutes away, with downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido Key a short drive south. Whether you are planning a legacy residence or a refined spec build, few opportunities in this corridor pair this caliber of location with approved plans and a site that is ready to go.
