54 River Street

Set on a half-acre lot in the Village of Stamford, 54 River Street offers an affordable opportunity for comfortable year-round living with the convenience of village amenities close at hand. With three bedrooms, two baths and approximately 1,406 square feet, this 1920 home has a practical layout, a spacious covered porch and several worthwhile recent improvements. The covered porch stretches across much of the home and provides a welcoming outdoor space. Just off the porch is an additional insulated bonus room—currently used as an exercise space but equally well suited for a three-season sitting room, home office, hobby space or extra storage. Inside, the first floor includes a generously sized dining area, country-style kitchen, long living room with hardwood flooring, first-floor laundry and a second bath with shower. Upstairs are all three bedrooms along with the home's full bath. The property has benefited from some important updates, including a new asphalt-shingle roof in 2024 and an electric water heater installed in 2020. Public water and sewer add to the ease of village living, while the super clean basement provides accessible utility and storage space. Outside, the half-acre parcel provides considerably more lawn and breathing room than you might expect from an in-village property, with a gravel driveway and room to enjoy the outdoors without taking on a large acreage. Better yet, the sale includes a nearly new John Deere riding mower and snowblower, giving the next owner two useful pieces of equipment from day one. From here, Stamford's shops, services and community amenities are nearby, with Stamford Central School also conveniently close. For a buyer looking for a primary residence in the village—or simply an attainable home with public utilities, a manageable property and several of the bigger-ticket improvements already addressed—54 River Street is well worth a look.
