The single-story ranch that has stood at the corner of Janebar Circle for nearly 70 years is scheduled for the wrecking ball. A demolition application filed this week seeks to level the 1955 home, ending the tenure of a structure that recently changed hands for $340,000.
This action signals a shift in how this quiet cul-de-sac in the 01701 ZIP code is being utilized. The property, a modest three-bedroom, one-bathroom home, is now owned by TRUE LEGACY HOMES LLC. The applicant, Fábio Xavier Da Costa, is acting on behalf of 38 STURBRIDGE LLC, a firm with a track record of home improvement and solar installations in the region.
According to city records, the permit was submitted on October 7, 2025. The filing comes after the property saw a flurry of activity earlier this year, with five separate permit applications logged in 2025 alone. This pattern suggests the new owners are preparing the site for a complete rebuild rather than a simple renovation.
Teardowns of mid-century homes are becoming increasingly common in Framingham as developers seek to maximize density on existing lots. While the current application only covers demolition, the sale price and the applicant's history imply that a new, larger residence or potentially a multi-unit structure could rise on the site once the debris is cleared.
Residents can track the progress of the application through the city's online portal. The project is currently in the review stage, and no start date has been set for the demolition work.
