New Construction Planned for Locust Avenue

The New Canaan Building Department on April 5 received an application to construct a new single-family home on a long-vacant .27-acre lot near the downtown. The proposed 2,500-square-foot home at 102 Locust Ave. would include three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half-bath, according to the application. It would cost about $400,000 to build, the application said. The owner of the lot, a limited liability company whose principals live in Rye, N.Y., had purchased the property for $520,000 in June 2013 and received a demolition permit for the existing structure a few months later. 

Earlier this year, the LLC put in for a variance to build a two-family home on the lot, but that application never came before the Zoning Board of Appeals. 

The architect on the new construction job is Wilton-based Dennis Peters, the contractor Weston-based MEGEI LLC, the application said.

New Construction Planned for West Road

The town on March 18 received an application to build a new 5,344-square-foot home on West Road. The house at 534 West Road is to include 5,344 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms and full bathrooms and two half-baths, according to the building permit application. Tax and building records show that the four-acre property had been purchased in May 2017 for $1,950,000 and that multiple permits have been obtained since then, including a permit issued last summer to renovate part of an existing house for an estimated $450,000. 

A full demolition permit had been obtained in June 2018, records show. The construction planned now is to cost about $1.4 million, according to the application. 

The contractor on the job is Altamura Homes of Greenwich and the architect is Robert Dean Architects of New Canaan, the application said.

The town on Feb. 15 received an application to build a two-family home on a .36-acre East Avenue parcel where a ca. 1900 Colonial had stood. The 5,215-square-foot structure at 72 East Ave. will include one unit on the first floor and a second upstairs, according to the building permit application.
