The six-bedroom planned for 955 Ponus Ridge will include six full bathrooms and two-half bathrooms, according to a building permit application filed Monday with the New Canaan Building Department.
The home will cost about $1,153,250 to build, the application said.
The contractor on the job is Coastal Luxury Homes, the architect Tanner White Associates LLC, both of Westport, it said.
The home will have an attached garage and work planned for the site includes a new driveway and septic, the application said.
