The town this month issued a building permit for a new 5-bedroom home in the ‘South of the Y’ neighborhood. Located the 1.11-acre lot at 24 Whiffle Tree Lane, where a 1956-built split-level ranch has stood, the new home will include 4,638 square feet of living space—more than doubling the size of the prior home, according to a permit issued Nov. 10. (A demolition permit application for the existing structure came in last month, building records show.)

The new construction is to include five full bathrooms, two half-baths, a fireplace and finished basement, the permit said. It is to be built by New Canaan-based Hoffman Contracting LLC for an estimated $806,000, the permit said.
