489 Worcester St. (along Rte. 9 west)

 

As we reported over the summer, the property owners disclosed plans to tear down the house and make way for two single-family homes. Earlier plans to make that property part of a condo development in the Cliff Estates area were scrapped after meeting neighborhood and town resistance.

There is an active building permit for the teardown at 489 Worcester St. A home at adjacent 14 Cliff Rd., is expected to remain.
