New Construction to Double Size of Ca. 1900 Hoyt Street Home

The town last week issued a building permit for a 4,000-square-foot house at 48 Hoyt Street, currently the site of a 1900 home less than half that size, tax records show. The .21-acre property was sold April 29 to Peter Grant, for $645,000. Building plans at Planning & Zoning—from Rowayton-based PB Architects—call for another $600,000 in construction (by Darien Construction) to create a 4-bedroom house with three full baths, one half-bath, a partially finished attack and 2-car attached garage. The current two-story home includes three bedrooms and one bath. It isn’t clear from site plans whether or how much of that original home would be preserved.
