OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING! Live, build, or develop in downtown Sarasota! Charming 3/2 with SEPARATE STUDIO on a 12,330-square-foot double lot parcel is conveniently located in the historic Central Cocoanut neighborhood-a few blocks from the thriving Rosemary District and minutes from the heart of downtown, the Bayfront, Ringling College of Art & Design, and the museum district. LIVE/WORK NOW! Adjacent parcel is also available, offering an opportunity to develop alongside other exciting new projects or to assemble for a HIGHER DENSITY. Development options are almost endless with North Trail zoning and an optional North Trail overlay. Current zoning on the lot allows for 3 stories and a wide range of uses, including 9 residential units, 9 mixed-use units, or a 14-room BOUTIQUE HOTEL. If a developer chooses to opt into the North Trail overlay, the maximum building height increases to 4 stories. The North Trail is part of a huge development push, with planted medians and pedestrian-friendly roundabouts connecting the neighborhood to both downtown and the Bayfront. A popular walking and bicycling route offers easy access to the shops and restaurants of the Rosemary District, the arts and cultural district (including the Van Wezel, Sarasota Opera and Florida Studio Theatre), and The Bay redevelopment project. Enjoy a gourmet brunch or wine tasting at The Reserve just across the street. This very special property is also across the street from scenic Whitaker Park, with its walking trails snaking alongside the picture-perfect Sarasota Bay, picnic pavilions, a new playground, and a fishing pier. It's also a few blocks from the Bay Park Conservancy, 53 acres of city-owned land along Sarasota Bay that will establish a cultural and economic legacy for the region.
