Description

Rare opportunity to build your dream home in one of Tarpon Springs' most desirable Gulf-side locations! Offered for sale for the first time since the current family purchased the property in 1987, this exceptional vacant residential lot at 1708 Tallahassee Drive offers an impressive 75 feet of frontage by 145 feet of depth, providing approximately 10,875 square feet of land and wonderful flexibility for designing a custom home. Located on the first block of a charming brick-paved street just off the Gulf coastline, the property combines an established residential setting with the increasingly hard-to-find opportunity to build new in this sought-after area of Tarpon Springs.The lot is currently vacant and ready for a buyer to begin planning their future home. Utilities have not been extended onto the lot, giving the new owner the opportunity to coordinate utilities, site preparation, home placement, elevation, and design as part of the construction process. With its generous 75-by-145-foot dimensions, the property provides excellent depth for a thoughtfully designed residence, outdoor living areas, pool, landscaping, garage, and other features as permitted. Buyers should independently verify zoning, setbacks, flood-zone and elevation requirements, utility availability and connection costs, building requirements, and all intended uses with the appropriate governmental authorities.The location is what truly sets this property apart. You are just down the road from Sunset Beach, one of Tarpon Springs' favorite Gulf-front gathering places and a beautiful destination for enjoying evening sunsets, and only minutes from Fred Howard Park, a spectacular 155-acre waterfront park featuring a scenic one-mile causeway leading to a white-sand beach, swimming, kayaking and canoeing areas, fishing, picnic shelters, playgrounds and other recreational amenities.Beyond the beaches, the property puts you close to everything that makes Tarpon Springs such a distinctive place to call home. Enjoy easy access to the historic downtown district, Spring Bayou, waterfront parks, local restaurants and shops, and the world-famous Sponge Docks and Greektown area, all while coming home to a quieter residential neighborhood near the Gulf. The combination of brick streets, mature surroundings, nearby water and recreation gives this area a character that is difficult to reproduce in newer developments.Whether you envision a distinctive coastal residence, a full-time Florida home, or a retreat near the water, this unusually deep 75' x 145' homesite provides a remarkable canvas. Vacant residential land of this size in an established neighborhood so close to Sunset Beach, Fred Howard Park and the Gulf is increasingly difficult to find. Held by the same family since 1987 and now offered for sale for the first time in nearly four decades, this is a special opportunity to create something entirely your own in beautiful Tarpon Springs.
