Town officials last week issued a permit to build a new, 7,600-square-foot home on Valley Road where an 1846-built antique about one-third that size stands.
This new, 7,600-square-foot home is planned for 867 Valley Road.
The 2-acre property at 867 Valley Road was purchased last June for $801,500, tax records show.
Its new owner is a limited liability company whose principal is a Smith Ridge Road woman, according to records on file with the Connecticut Secretary of the State.

The planned home, to be built by the New Canaan-based owner (the architect is New York City-based Lifeform), will have six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two half-baths, four fireplaces and a three-bay attached garage.
According to its original building permit application, filed in August, the home also will have a playroom in the attic, living room, dining room, study, kitchen and family room.
The home will cost about $1,272,000 to build, the permit said.
