18,000+ Sq Ft Mega-Mansion Proposed to Replace Four Lot Assemblage in Central Greenwich

On Park Avenue and Maple

A new pre-application submitted to the Greenwich Planning & Zoning commission proposes a new house on the sites of four parcels in central Greenwich.

One fronts onto Maple. Two are flag lots behind it, and the fourth is on Park Ave behind them, that would be used as a driveway.

The Maple Ave lots are roughly across from Mead House and Coffee for Good and Stanton House Inn.

According to the application narrative, as part of planning for the construction of a proposed single-family house and guest quarters, the applicants assembled these four parcels:

  • 63 Maple Avenue
    75 Maple Avenue
    59 Maple Avenue
    8 Park Avenue

The houses on 59, 63 and 75 Maple Avenue which totaled 15,753 square feet have already been demolished.

None were built before 1940, so they were not required to be publicly noticed for 45 days.

However, 8 Park Ave, which dates back to 1918, will be subject to a 45 day waiting period when an application for demolition is submitted to the building department.

• 63 Maple Ave was built in 2008. It sold  on August 19, 2020 from Daniel and Maira Pechman to KJH Investments LLC for $4,250,000.

• 75 Maple, a flag lot behind 63 Maple, had been improved with a house in 1970. It sold from Dean Nguyen and Miyoko Matsuo to 79 Maple LLC for $1,975,000 on February 21, 2020 and again sold on Sept 17, 2020 from 79 Maple LLC to KJH Investments LLC for 0.

• 59 Maple Ave, another flag lot, featured a house built in 1989. It sold from Matthew and Judith Harrison to 59 Maple Holdings LLC on Oct 2, 2024 for $4,400,000.

• 8 Park Ave sold from Luke and Molly Labella to 8 Park Holdings LLC on Nov 15, 2024 for $2,985,000.

According to the applicant’s narrative, in 2024 the P&Z commission approved a lot line revision between the parcels at 63  and 75 Maple Avenue removing 5,106 square feet from 75 Maple Avenue and adding it to 63 Maple Avenue. Subsequent to this lot line approval, the applicant also purchased 59  Maple Avenue and 8 Park Avenue.

The proposed dwelling would be 18,631 square feet, to contain five bedrooms, two three-car garages, a basement including an indoor pool, squash court and art gallery and an area for the applicant’s car collection would provide 40 spaces. As part of the house design, a center atrium would be provided, and as part of the patio adjacent to the first  floor of the house, an outdoor pool is proposed. A tennis court is also proposed, as well as a detached guest suite that would have a living room and two bedrooms.
