More Demolitions on the Agenda

The Committee for Historic Preservation has a busy agenda for its July meeting when seven homes will be considered for demolition. If none are found to meet the criteria for preservation, the following homes will fall to the wrecking ball:

18 Kelwynne Road was built in 1928 and sits on 1.69 acres of property near the Scarsdale Middle School. Currently listed for sale for $3,750,000 with taxes of $48,858, the property is described as "park-like" and the lawn as "expansive." The listing also notes that the property includes two tax lots. Let's hope the developer only plans to replace one house!

21 Greenacres Avenue is a renovated carriage house that sits on a flag lot on Greenacres Avenue near Hitchcock Church. It is not currently on the market but was listed in February 2014 for $1,595,000. Perhaps the buyer is waiting to see if demolition will be approved before making the purchase. The property is .61 acres and the 1911 carriage house was renovated in 1998 and again in 2005.

• 7 Stonehouse Road -built in 1950
• 12 Wynmor Road - built in 1950
• 4 Bethel Road- built in 1921
