An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 21 Saint John Place, off Main Street, is in process. Built in 1936, the one-story ranch has 1,145-square feet, is situated on a .25-acre property and last exchanged ownership, according to assessor records, in April 1991 for $195,000.

Special to WestportNowThe allure of vintage to mid-century charm and character is alive and well in Westport.
Considering the number of active listings as opposed to the number of sold homes, this segment has all the indications of a better than average market this year.
According to SmartMLS tax records, which is the newly formed statewide Multiple Listing Service, approximately 29 percent of homes in Westport were built before 1950, and while they are certainly not scarce by any means, the 58 properties for sale represent less than 2.5 percent of those 2,357 homes.
Besides a reasonable price point which is conducive to attracting a wide array of buyers, added appeal includes vintage details such as moldings, nooks, crannies, and charming built-ins.

Milford — Twenty-two days after the General Assembly voted to loosen the state’s affordable housing standards despite the governor’s objections, at least one community is following suit.
Last week, the Planning and Zoning Board in Milford voted 6-3 to end its existing affordable housing standards along a significant portion of the U.S. Route 1 corridor winding along I-95.
Town officials insist the move is unrelated to the state’s decision, arguing that no multi-family housing complexes have been built along the corridor since it and four others were established in 2004. Before last week’s vote, any multi-family complexes developed along the corridor were required to have 30 percent of their units designated as affordable.
The board’s decision was prompted by a developer’s proposal to build a 168-unit apartment complex – none designated as affordable – within the corridor. It could not be authorized until the provision was repealed.
