Before and After

Despite economic woes, increased flooding and Village regulations, Scarsdale homes continue to get bigger and bigger. Here are two before and after photos of homes that have grown on their lots. Do you have new construction sprouting on your street? Take a photo and share it with our readers:

140 Saxon Woods Road: A group of residents argued that the original home on the site had historic importance as it was one of the last relics of a community of freed slaves who moved to Scarsdale in the mid 19th century. However, the Committee on Historic Preservation did not find it historically significant and the demolition of the original home was allowed to go through. Take a look at the size of the house (above) that is now going up on this .19 acre lot, wedged between two existing homes.

Original Home at 140 Saxon Woods Road

47 Greenacres Avenue: Some were surprised when this beautiful Greenacres home with a wide front porch sold for a very reduced price this past summer. An addition to this 3,100 square foot house on almost 1/3 of an acre was approved in September, 2011 and now it looks as if it is almost double the original size.
