Fabulous and rare opportunity to design & build your dream home in the heart of the Southport Corridor. Unusual R4 zoning for the neighborhood allows tremendous scale and ceiling heights throughout all levels of the home. Plans call for a 7, 500 square foot double lot home, but opportunities up to 10, 000+ square feet are possible. Versatile home size options and various parcel sizes available if more/less width or yard space preferred. Parcel backs up to a future multi-lot custom home which will provide unusual openness and privacy. Steps to Margaret Donahue park and all the best shops and restaurants in the Southport Corridor. There is also an option to purchase the adjacent 5, 050 square foot parcel for a huge yard. Perfect spot to design and build your custom dream home. The rendering and floor plans are for conceptual purposes only.
