WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 20 Roseville Road

Westport officials are processing a demolition application for 20 Roseville Road just off Post Road East. The .28-acre property changed hands in September 2005 for $400,000. The three-room house, built in 1924, has 778 square feet of living space, according to town records. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Anyone wanna save this one? I’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has….

Ouch, that hurts! As a former owner of this home, I will be sad to no longer see it when I drive up Roseville.
20 Roseville has lasted this long because market forces have finally made this lot “developable” from an economic standpoint.
This is one of the last one-bedroom, free-standing homes in town. It was featured in The New York Times Magazine a few years ago as the least expensive house available in Westport.

$400,000 for this?? I think I’ll set up an empty refrigerator box on Compo Beach and see what I can get!

Umm, this is true for many of us with older or smaller homes – the house has zero value, but the land can appreciate.
The good news is that I won’t have to neaten up when I sell mine!
