The end is near for the elegant old stone home at 308 Rose Park Drive in Moore Park. It will be torn down this week to make way for two homes on the 68-foot wide lot. The process has been a collaborative one in the neighborhood. Many resident-lawyers and other neighbors have collaborated with the owners to make sure the builder creates homes they can live with. No one wanted to stand in the way of the deal made by their 30-year neighbors. Today (August 20, 2013) the heavy oak doors were being removed by Habitat for Humanity. Those doors will be desirable merchandise at the charity’s store. The home was listed for $2,495,000 in September 2012. The sale price was $2,150,000 in October 2012 and the now divided lot at addresses 308A and 308B may be purchased from Cimetta Properties together or singly, with or without a home built to the approved plans. No 308 Rose Park dates from the 1920s and is one of only a few architect-designed homes on the street.
