An application has gone into the town to build a 4,100-square-foot home on a .64-acre White Oak Shade lot where an 1889 Colonial once stood.

The original house at 376 White Oak Shade Road was razed in 2008, according to tax records.
The property was purchased last month for $657,500—a lot now overgrown that will look familiar to many motorists. It’s above the Merritt Parkway overpass and just below Shagbark, on the right hand side of the road as you’re traveling north, with a low stone wall running parallel to the street.

The new home would cost about $500,000 to build, and the contractor would be Cheshire-based F.R. Dinatali LLC, according to the application (filed Wednesday).
It would include five bedrooms with five half-baths, a great room, kitchen-dinette, dining room, mudroom, laundry room, office and 3-car attached garage.

An application also was filed Wednesday to build a 4,160-square-foot home at 316 North Wilton Road. (The town last month issued a demolition permit for the 1925 ranch that had stood on the 2-acre property.)
The new home is to include four first-floor rooms with a full bath as well as four more rooms, and four bedrooms on the second floor with three more bathrooms, a study and laundry, according to the application James Blansfield. It also will have a half-bath in the basement with a yoga/mudroom, a 2-car garage and 778 square feet worth of decks. The total living space comes to about 4,160 square feet, according to the application.
The contractor on the job will be James Blansfield, the application says.
