Its listing said it offered "a rare opportunity for renovation and customization", but I suspect the bulldozer won't care

242 Taconic Road was listed in November for $1.395 million, went immediately to highest and best, and has closed at $1.5. It’s on just one acre in the 4-acre zone, but when I wrote about the property back in November, I said I liked its looks and would be perfectly happy here. And perhaps someone will, but I’m guessing that it will be replaced. The property sits on just one acre in the R-4 zone, so, technically the R-4’s FAR ratio would limit a new building to just 2,722.5 sq. ft (0.0625 X 43,560), but the existing house is 4,190 sq. ft., and new construction can probably be at least that large and, builders being the creative types they are, they can pump up that figure by using the basement and maybe even going up.
