The new home, to be built by Kaeser Development—which purchased the 1.52-acre property for $825,000 on April 30—will cost about $800,00 to construct, according to the building permit application.
It will include 1,990 square feet on the first floor (kitchen, mudroom, family room, study, living and dining rooms, 3-car garage), three fireplaces, 2,360 on the second floor (master and four other bedrooms, four baths) and a 990-square-foot finished attic with a full bath and playroom.
