ATTENTION BUYERS : FLAT DRY, ONE -OF-A-KIND LAND OPPORTUNITY NOW HUGELY IMPROVED WITH WELL DEFINED SITE PLAN. Do you hope for new custom construction no bigger than "about" 4500sf, yet continue to see 7000sf and larger get the edge? Stop wishing for it and take action! Bring your architect or builder to consider a new home that meets your dream to be practically-sized for every life stage. No other land offers this package in sought-after Westport: -Prestigious Old Hill location convenient to the town hub. -Minutes to trains both in Westport and Norwalk, Interstate-95 and Merrit Parkway. -Deed Restrictions that prevent an ordinary spec-construction. -Pristine, dry flat 1+ acre without wetlands or noise pollution of highways and trains. -Connection to Town history. This park-like acre is is behind the stone walls and just inside the original gates to the 1928 Arthur Whiteside Estate at 50 Sylvan North, and was once the welcoming gateway into the 25-acre estate owned by the business titan . He founded the Dun & Bradstreet commercial credit rating system that responded to client requests with a business's accurate credit rating report within an astonishing 2 minutes of a call. :) Whiteside's original 1920's Tudor home remains visible in the distance on Lot #2 where the Sellers of Lot #1 will continue in residence as your next-door neighbor. New England's reputation for understated elegance leaves a wide palette for the creative mind. Today's discriminating buyers who enjoy focusing on the sustainability of living "smaller" will revel in the beauty and life-long live-ability of a meticulously-crafted home +/- 4500sf above- grade, and will celebrate this option. Lot #1 for sale is distinguished by specimen 1920's-built fieldstone dry walls that run along 450' of Sylvan Road North frontage and wrap much of this acreage's perimeter. The Town-Approved SubDivision is on-file with the Town Clerk's office, and the new Site Plan for development has potential as a "trifecta" with Sewer and City Water already at the property, and Natural Gas in active use across the street. Buyers can confirm their gas connection via Southern Connecticut Gas.
