WestportNow presents another in its new series of before and after looks at transformed Westport properties. The house at 10 Covlee Drive in the Saugatuck Shores area was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on March 31, 2005. At the time of the demolition, Howard Mason, who owns the new house with wife, Jackie, said that he lived around the corner at 3 Covlee Drive until 1983. He said he always wanted to return to Saugatuck Shores so he bought the one-story, 1,700-square-foot, 1951-built house on 0.27-acre in October 2004 for $820,000 and planned to replace it with a 3,400-square-foot colonial. It turned out to be 3,696 square feet. Click on the photos or arrows to see the transformation. Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
