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.
Today it’s easy to miss the proposed construction site behind tall hedges and chain link fence along Maple Ave.
Only the house at 8 Park Avenue and its detached garage remain.

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.
One driveway on Maple Avenue would be removed and a common drive for 83, 81 and 77 Maple Avenue, as well as the applicant’s property, is proposed to be retained.
The driveway on Park Avenue would also be retained as access to both the underground garage and the two three-car garages attached to the first floor of the house.
A Special Permit is required upon submitting for Final Site Plan for the project because both the indoor athletic use and proposed volume of the single-family house and guest quarters exceed the 1,200 square foot and 150,000 cubic foot requirements.
