About this home
Investor / Builder Alert! Exceptional WEST OF TRAIL opportunity in one of Sarasota’s desirable neighborhoods, Poinsettia Park. Located just steps from top-rated Southside Elementary School, this property offers incredible potential for redevelopment. The existing structure is a grandfathered duplex that is in very poor condition and best suited for teardown. The true value lies in the land — a 50’ x 118’ lot ideally positioned for a stunning new custom home. But if you prefer, you can keep it as a duplex and rent it. Consider it a blank canvas. Located within the city limits so short term rentals are acceptable. Enjoy a highly sought-after location just minutes to the shops and dining of Southside Village, the world-renowned beaches of Siesta Key, and the vibrant arts, dining, and waterfront lifestyle of Downtown Sarasota. Whether you’re a builder, investor, or end user looking to create a dream home, this is a rare chance to build new in an established, high-demand area surrounded by luxury properties. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce—don’t miss your chance to capitalize on this premium location! Sold as is with right to inspect.
