Grand Homes Going Up

Curious readers have been asking what's being built at 18 Heathcote Road where a massive steel frame is up – but not much else. The 5 plus acre site was once the home of Leonard and Virginia Marx who gave a $300,000 bequest to Scarsdale Library in 2007 for the renovation of the library reference room. After the 9200 square foot home was sold it was extensively renovated -- and included a pool and tennis court. That home was demolished to clear the way for this new structure.

We stopped by Village Hall to look at the plans and see that an 8,800 square foot main house with a three-car garage is planned, as well as a two-bedroom guesthouse and garage.

The new house is designed by architect Anthony Minichetti of Greenwich and includes some enticing features such as a large circular bar, a teen lounge with a soda fountain and a 50' x 26' gym on the second floor.

A rendering of the new manse is shown on the right.

Another expansive home is going up at 96 Morris Lane, where the original 1965 ranch has been torn down. The home was at one time rented by Andrea Sanderlin who was arrested for running a sophisticated marijuana growing and processing operation in 2013.

A very large home has now been built on the site and the owners applied for a variance to build a pool and tennis court that was reviewed at the March 8 meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
