More Homes to be Razed Plus Home Sales and Open Houses

Swimming pool at 35 Birchall DriveOn October 22, the Committee for Historic Preservation will consider applications to demolish four homes

26 Overhill Road: Demo existing house and garage built in 1908 (held over)

109 Lee Road: Demo existing house and garage built in 1919

200 Johnson Road: Demo existing house built in 1949

35 Birchall Drive: Demo existing house and garage built in 1950

26 Overhill Road sold this week for $1.8 million – see below. The house is on a ¾ acre lot that meets the requirements for a subdivision. Undoubtedly that’s what the buyers have in mind….knock down one house and build two.

The house was the home of former Scarsdale Mayor Bev Sved who passed away just a few months after winning the Scarsdale Bowl in 2018. Does that make the house historic and therefore worthy of preservation? We shall see!

Also doomed is a beautiful stone home at 35 Birchall Drive in Murray Hill. The house is on a .97 acre lot and has a stylish pool and flagstone patio on the property.
