NEW PRICE on this double lot in Sapphire Heights. Here's a rare opportunity to own a large single family homesite in the highly desirable museum area. But this property can also be divided creating 2 single family properties still considered "oversized"! This lot is close enough to Sarasota Bay to enjoy sunsets from Sun Circle Park on a daily basis but it's NOT in the flood zone. You're high and dry in this location with 143 feet of frontage and close to half an acre of land. You may pass on impact fees since an older cottage once sat here. It's now removed so you can start planning your dream home or homes! Build one now sited on a single lot and keep a lot for a future subdivide and another residence. Or, build two homes now. The property is adjacent to the Brywill-Bay Shore Historic District. Here you'll find some of the most grand, mediterranean styled homes in all of Sarasota. This neighborhood still shows the influence of John Ringling whose grand estate is just a couple blocks away. Live here and you will be surrounded by Sarasota's most prominent arts and educational institutions including the Asolo Theater, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Sarasota Ballet, New College of Florida and more. Sapphire Heights is just two miles north of downtown Sarasota, close to the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and near the University Parkway corridor anchored by the Sarasota Bradenton Airport on one end and the University Town Center shopping district on the other.
