The town has received an application to build a new 4,900-square-foot home on a .39-acre Douglas Road lot long occupied by a Cape Cod-style home smaller than one-third that size.
This new home is planned for 148 Douglas Road.
The house at 148 Douglas Road will include 11 total rooms, including four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half-bath, kitchen, dining room, family room, mudroom and laundry, according to the building permit application.
The property was purchased for $875,000 last July, tax records show. A demolition permit was issued in July for the existing house.
The new home will cost about $780,000 to build, the application said.
The contractor on the job will be the owner, a limited liability company whose principals are a New Canaan man and woman.
The architect on the job is out of Norwalk, the application said.
