The town on Dec. 1 issued a permit for the demolition of a shed at 104 Dan’s Highway—long known as the famed Huguette Clark estate.
Sold in April for $14.3 million, the 14,266-square-foot French-style manor house on the 52-acre property is slated to get a $1.8 million interior renovation, according to building plans filed in July.
Renovation plans filed for 104 Dan’s Highway, former Huguette Clark estate.
Its new owners later that month applied to dissolve an approved 10-lot subdivision on the property, an application that was unanimously approved.
Said to be fashion designer Reed Krakoff and his wife Delphine, a Paris-born interior designer, the property’s owner officially is De Lom LLC,tax records show—a Manhattan-based company created in February.
Officials said this summer that the new owners, who have children, intend to make New Canaan their permanent home.
The shed demo will be carried out by Bedford Hills, N.Y.-based Nick Cambareri Masonry Inc., according to the building permit.
