Site Of Fatal 2011 Christmas Fire For Sale In Stamford: Report

STAMFORD, CT — The property where members of Madonna Badger's family were killed in a Christmas fire in 2011 is up for sale for $850,000, writes the Stamford Advocate.

Now a vacant lot on Shippan Avenue, the parcel measures .34 acres and formerly held the 1895 Victorian home where the tragic fire occurred. Badger's daughters and parents perished in the fire, which also injured four Stamford firefighters.

"FLAT AND EASY TO BUILD - RARE OPPORTUNITY," states the listing on realtor.com. Lorraine Leonard with Keller Williams Prestige Properties is the presenting agent. "Located in prestigious Shippan Point, this lot is close to parks, shopping, restaurants and minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches on the Connecticut coastline. This extraordinary lot with spectacular views of Long Island Sound is for those looking to build their custom dream home or for those developers looking for a profitable investment."

Badger bought the home in 2010 for $1.725 million, and it was in the midst of an extensive renovation when the fire occurred. The City of Stamford settled three lawsuits in connection with the blaze.
