The town last week received an application to build a new 5,700-square-foot home on Brushy Ridge Road where e 1953 Cape about half that size had stood.
The new house planned for 188 Brushy Ridge Road would include five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half-baths and three-bay garage with an unfinished basement and attic, according to a building permit application filed March 20.
The house will cost about $975,000 to build and the contractor on the job is New Canaan-based Rick Sillo Construction. It was designed by Lecher Development LLC, also of New Canaan.
The 1.11-acre property had been purchased for $1,050,000 in November, according to tax records.
The new owner is a limited liability company whose principal is a New Canaan man with the same address as the contractor, according to records on file with the Connecticut Secretary of the State.
A demolition permit for the Cape was issued Feb. 20.
