An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 251 Green Farms Road is in process. Built in 1900, the two-story antique has 3,333 square feet, is situated on a 1.92-acre property and last changed ownership in December, 2008 at $1,750,000.  Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission.

Three adjoining parcels on almost seven acres on Westport’s Beachside Avenue overlooking Long Island Sound in the Greens Farms area have sold for $20 million in Westport’s second largest residential real estate transaction. The estate had been listed for $37.9 million three years ago.

Town Clerk Patricia Strauss said the sale of 124, 126, and 128 Beachside Ave. with 600 feet of water frontage was recorded Friday and reaped $50,000 in conveyance tax revenues for the town and $188,000 for the state. No mortgage was listed.

The properties, which most recently had been listed at $25 million—down from a more recent $27.9 million listing—include a 10-bed, 11-bath, 10,500-square foot, 1955-built home on 2.17 acres at 128 Beachside Ave. that sold for $12.5 million.

Next to it is 126 Beachside with a two-bedroom, four-bath, 1981-built two-story home on 2.42 acres which sold for $5.4 million. The third parcel, two acres between 126 and 128 containing a driveway and small guest house, at 124 Beachside Ave. sold for $2.1 million.
