JUST REDUCED!!! What an amazing opportunity to build your dream home in a highly desired location, where many homes were built for influential friends of John Ringling. Situated where one-hundred-year-old oaks arch over roadways and towering majestic palms prevail amongst many historically significant homes, 456 Acacia Drive is conveniently located West of the Trail and just South of University Parkway, close to New College, USF Sarasota and the Ringling College of Art. This 0.43-acre lot is half a block to the Bay and Sapphire Shores Park, where you can launch your kayak, watch the sunset and are surrounded by cultural and social attractions. There is ample space for a swimming pool and a generous tropical garden oasis with mature trees. The Historic Ringling Museum and SRQ airport are just 5 minutes away. Best of all, Downtown Sarasota is less than 10 minutes away. The city of Sarasota is a beautiful place of fine dining, theaters, shopping, and artists enclaves. Discover Bayfront Park or walk The Ringling Causeway Bridge. Visit Marie Selby Botanical Gardens or one of the championship golf courses on Longboat Key or Lakewood Ranch. There are endless activities in this thriving city. Make your dream come true today! This is such an eclectic neighborhood and either a modern or traditional home would be suited for this lot. Plans for a modern 3,000 sq. ft. plus home are available. Please note that the aerial photos were taken before the house was taken down.
