WESTPORT — A modern residence has replaced a 73-year-old ranch at 78 Sylvan Road North, marking yet another transformation in Westport’s evolving real estate landscape.

Originally built in 1952, the former 1¾-story ranch home featured 2,200 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, all situated on a one-acre lot. In 2023, the Westport Building Department issued a demolition permit, paving the way for new construction.

The property now boasts a new, 6,300-square-foot modern home, with:

  • Five bedrooms
  • Six full bathrooms and two half-baths
  • Basement area
  • Garage
  • Stone patio
  • Open porch
  • Finished upper story
  • Finished attic expansion

The transformation didn’t just reshape the home—it also changed its market value. The property sold for $487,500 in 2022 and again for $4,080,000 last August. Its assessed value jumped from $644,100 in 2022 to $2,397,200 today.
