Westport Wrecking Ball: 27 Narrow Rocks Road, Built in 1900
An April application to demolish the home at 27 Narrow Rocks Road has nearly four months left before the wrecking ball can be brought in. The Westport Historic District Commission voted in early May to uphold the 180 day delay for historic homes - giving the home and the application 6 months to be reviewed by the community, with only Randy Henkels voting to allow an earlier demolition. Owned by Roger Brach from 1969 until his death in July 2019, the home was built in 1900 and includes a tennis court and pond, which occupy the neighboring property - also owned by Brach.
The home, and adjacent 29 Narrow Rocks Road, was sold to Narrow Rocks LLC of Norwalk in March 2021 for 1.95 million dollars. The MLS already has two pre-construction homes listed for sale on the properties - both on the market for 3.8 million and 6.2 million dollars, respectively.
