Century-Old Parade Hill Road Home Coming Down

A 100-year-old, single-story ranch on Parade Hill Road is slated for demolition and its owner has applied to construct a new home there that will more than double its living space. The red house at 119 Parade Hill Road—just past the turn as you come up the hill toward Oenoke Ridge—sits on .17 acres, according to tax records. It includes 625 square feet of living space (all in one room) among its approximately 1,450 total gross square feet. There’s an unfinished basement of the same dimensions. Purchased seven years ago for $460,000, it last was assessed at $357,000, according to the New Canaan Assessor’s office.

After decades of dormancy and wide speculation on prospective buyers, the famed Huguette Clark property at 104 Dan’s Highway now has a buyer. “Le Beau Château” as it’s known, was constructed in 1937 and sits on a 52-acre estate, according to a website dedicated to the property and overseen by New Canaan’s Barbara Cleary’s Realty Guild. The listing went to pending on Tuesday, Realtors say. New Canaan Realtor Chris Sigg said: “After five years and five months on the market and a 33 percent price reduction, the famed Huguette Clark estate built in 1937 has now gone to contract. This 9-bedroom, 14,000-square-foot home is undoubtedly a lost treasure from a time of true grandeur.

The spring market in New Canaan is showing “plenty of activity,” says Chris Sigg, a Realtor at William Raveis in town, with 15 open houses this past weekend “and more coming on the market in the coming weeks.” “List prices have come up almost 10 percent in the past year but this isn’t keeping the buyers from taking advantage of low interest rates,” Sigg tells NewCanaanite.com. “Inventory is low and houses are selling quicker. ”
