A real estate agent plans to construct 26 townhomes in Stratford, according to plans filed with the town.
Richard P. Brown, a Re/Max Realtor who lives in Stratford, proposes turning a single-family home into a townhome and building 25 more townhomes on a 2.27-acre parcel at 1245 Cutspring Road. The property consists of three parcels that were combined into one parcel addressed as 1245 Cutspring Road, the application said.
Brown said he owns two of the adjoining parcels that make up 1.81 acres. The remaining 0.46-acre portion of the combined property contains the single-family home, which is owned by Megan Testone, a family member to Brown. Testone bought the property in 2017 for $236,000, according to property records.
“I wanted to develop it into something that is aesthetically pleasing for the neighborhood,” Brown told the Hartford Business Journal. “It’s going to be a nice development.”
The application said 30% of the units would be designated as affordable housing under the state’s 8-30g affordable housing statute. They will be put up for sale and not open to rent.
The applicant requests creating a Cutspring Development Zone for the proposed development because the property is within a one-family residential district that only allows for detached single-family homes.
