Sagan House sold to billionaire scrap metal mogul

https://ithacavoice.org/2024/12/sagan-house-sold-to-billionaire-scrap-metal-mogul/

excerpt:

Sagan and his wife, Ann Druyan, purchased the home in 1981 as Sagan finished filming the Cosmos TV series. During their years of using the property as a residence and study, they conducted their own renovations, designed by Atelier Jullian and Pendleton and built in the early 1990s.

Many of Mensch’s features were removed, though some aspects like the entry staircase were maintained. A plan to double the size of the original 1,248 square-foot structure with an equally-sized addition further south into the gorge was never completed. Although Sagan died of cancer in 1996, Druyan held onto 900 Stewart in the subsequent decades while maintaining her primary residence further north in Cayuga Heights.

That is, until Nov. 26, when Druyan sold the gorgeside property for $2 million, far above its assessed value of $585,000. The filing shows the buyer is an LLC in Owego with the same address as Upstate Shredding / Weitsman Recycling, led by billionaire scrap metal mogul Adam Weitsman.

“I’ve liked that property ever since I was a kid,” Weitsman said in an interview with The Ithaca Voice.

***
In Weitsman’s description, he had long made it known to local brokers that if Druyan was ever willing to part with the property, he’d gladly buy it from her. This year, she was finally ready to sell, so her broker called Weitsman and the deal was made over the phone. Weitsman admitted that while he now owns the property, he’s only been inside the house there once. He will receive the keys by New Year’s Day.

This is the rare case in which an elevated sale price indicates a genuine passion purchase rather than an eye towards investment like a Collegetown boarding house. Weitsman said it was hard to put a value on a property like 900 Stewart Ave. with its “unparalleled setting on the cliff of the gorge.”
