Brand new in Cos Cob
Buyers in search of new construction with modern flair, outdoor living spaces, and amenities may wish to investigate 340 Cognewaugh Road in Cos Cob—listed by John Graves of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Greenwich brokerage.
Graves’ client is a builder and real estate developer, and this property is owned by the investment group of which he’s a part. The seller fielded some questions from Greenwich Time about his 2019 acquisition of the property and recalled how it was transformed into the home it is today—on the market for $2.95 million. “[The] immediate appeal was a combination of privacy, a corner lot, as well as the picturesque brook running through the back of the property,” he explained.
What the developer envisioned was a home that would build on classic New England style, with “a modern twist.” They assembled an allstar team to bring it to life. “Tim Peck from Shoreline Design Group was the architect on the project. Robert Zmarzlak and Bryan Muller from Sound View Engineers LLC were lead engineers. Susan Cerza undertook interior design and final material selection on the project, and William Kenny designed the planting plan,” he said.
Sited on a 1-acre lot, the home has four bedrooms, seven baths, and 6,400 square feet of living space. It’s a four-level design, with three above grade and a lower level, plus an attached garage

The floor plan is decidedly open and airy, and guests get a sense of the aesthetic from the moment they step into the doubleheight foyer.
