Context

According to the Assessor's office at Greenwich Town Hall, the property sold from Vincent C Travagliato to 577 Round Hill Rd LLC on Jan. 22, 2026, for $7,500,000.

According to the permit paperwork, submitted July 31 to the building department at Greenwich Town Hall, the mandatory 45-day waiting period started Aug. 1 and ends Sept. 15, 2026. The first date the permit is eligible for issuance is Sept. 16, 2026.

Because the home was built before 1940, a written letter of objection submitted to the Building Division of DPW will double the demolition waiting period established by Town ordinance to 90 days.

Further information concerning the pending application may be obtained by contacting the DPW-Division of Buildings at 203-622-7754.
