Property Description
Imagine the simple pleasures of Old Florida living. Morning coffee on a welcoming front porch, evenings spent enjoying the neighborhood, golf cart rides through town, and a home that feels as though it has always belonged. Your new home is centrally located and walkable to the Tarpon Springs Downtown District, a Florida Main Street, as well as the world famous Sponge Docks! This is the kind of place where history isn't simply remembered, it's woven into everyday life.
And while the existing residence has reached a crossroads in its story, its next chapter has already been thoughtfully envisioned. The current owners have invested considerable time, resources and care navigating the architectural, engineering and historic-preservation processes to help make a new beginning possible.
An extensive package of architectural plans and renderings by Sandbar Architecture, engineer-stamped documents, soil studies, survey and related due diligence has been assembled. The City of Tarpon Springs Heritage Preservation Board has issued a Certificate of Appropriateness authorizing demolition of the existing contributing structure and approving a proposed replacement residence, detached garage with accessory dwelling unit (ADU), and pool, subject to specified conditions. A variance for the proposed garage/ADU location has also been obtained.
The proposed design captures the timeless appeal of traditional Florida architecture while envisioning the comforts of modern living. Picture an inviting two-story residence, a detached garage with private living quarters above, and an outdoor retreat designed for gathering, entertaining and making memories.
This isn't simply an opportunity to purchase a property. It's an invitation to carry a carefully considered vision across the finish line.
The property is offered AS-IS with the existing structure in place. Demolition cannot proceed until the Building Department approves the replacement building plans and issues the required building permit. All approvals remain subject to their respective conditions, expiration dates and applicable City requirements. Buyers may explore continuing the proposed design or pursuing permissible modifications, subject to appropriate professional review and City approval.
For someone who appreciates the soul of historic Tarpon Springs, the beauty of traditional architecture and the opportunity to create something meaningful for the future, perhaps the next chapter of 226 N Grosse Avenue is yours to write.
Extensive project documentation available for buyer review. Buyer to independently verify permitting, construction feasibility, approval status, costs and rights to use architectural and engineering plans.
