471 Housatonic Avenue

Set just off the Housatonic River in Stratford, this 1916 Dutch Colonial blends a century of character with thoughtful modern updates. Five ductless A/C units keep every level comfortable through the summer, and two Velux skylights with solar powered shades fill the home with natural light. An Amazon smart thermostat makes the main level easy to manage, and under cabinet lighting adds warmth to the kitchen. Behind the garage, a storage shed offers extra space for tools, bikes, and seasonal gear. Life in Stratford means riverside dining and marinas close by, summer days at Short Beach, walks through Boothe Memorial Park, and the shops and restaurants of downtown. Commuting is simple with I-95, the Merritt Parkway, and the Metro-North station all just minutes away. A classic home in a well connected shoreline town, ready for its next chapter.
