The New Canaan Building Department has issued a permit for a new 6,397-square-foot house on Carter Street. The new home at 250 Carter St. will include five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and one half-bath, according to a building permit issued March 12. 

It will be located on what tax records show as a vacant 2-acre parcel near the intersection of Carter and Clapboard Hill Road. Its owner acquired the property in 2014, tax records show, and owns an adjacent lot. 

The new house will have a 915-square-foot finished attic and three-car garage. It will cost $1.2 million to build, according to the permit.
