50 Sylvan Road

DREAM YOUR TOMORROW This 1.05 acre of dry, level land that is available for sale, is beautifully sited in the middle of Westport's Old Hill and awaits your imagination. Enter through the original gates of the 1928 Arthur Whiteside Estate at 50 Sylvan North --- the park-like entry to the 25-acre estate built for Whiteside, who founded and headed the commercial credit rating firm of Dun & Bradstreet. There in the 1930's, he perfected a system whereby a client could receive an accurate credit rating on a business within 2 minutes of a request. Whiteside's original Tudor home is visible in the distance where the Sellers of Lot #1 will remain in residence on Lot #2. LOT 1 FOR SALE is flat, pristine, dry and park-like, and enclosed by 1920's fieldstone drywalls which run a full 450' along Sylvan Road North frontage. The Town-Approved Site Plan (FOR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT NOT CONSTRUCTION) is being "simplified" by LandTech to clarify: (1)House site can be moved (2)Sewer and City Water available at street for connection. (3)Natural Gas is available across street, so is being explored as a possibility. Seller has requested feedback from Southern CT Gas about possible hookup to an existing natural gas line across street at 43 Sylvan North/Marion Rd. Still awaiting response from the SCG field manager. (4) utility lines to Lot #2 will logically be moved from the middle of Lot #1 to run alongside the Lot#2 driveway. (5) an optional private and separate Lot#1 entry farther
