A permit was issued in July to demolish the 1952 ranch house that had stood at 140 Orchard Drive.
The new home will include five bedrooms and full bathrooms, two half-baths and a partially finished basement, according to a building permit application put in Aug. 4.
The contractor on the job is Mario Lopez/ML Builders LLC and architect is Henry M. Rowett, both of New Canaan, the application said.
