About this home
Set along the Mianus River, this distinctive three-bedroom country ranch offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature on a beautifully landscaped acre. Elevated high above the river, the home does not require flood insurance, offering added peace of mind while still enjoying its remarkable waterfront setting. Expansive windows throughout frame the surrounding greenery, while a light-filled sunroom opens directly to an impressive stone terrace - an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of the river. Inside, generous living spaces feature hardwood floors, architectural detailing and abundant natural light. The house is an ELAN Smart Home, and the updated kitchen features a Wolf induction cooktop and oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and recently refinished floors. Beautifully updated baths, flexible office/gym space and three bedrooms provide comfort and versatility. Pella windows and doors, an integrated sound system and Generac generator add to the home's thoughtful amenities. Tucked away on a quiet association cul-de-sac, just steps from the entrance to the hiking trails through the Helen Altschul Preserve, this peaceful retreat is defined by its beautiful grounds, inviting indoor-outdoor flow and remarkable Mianus River setting.
North Stamford, located between the Merritt Parkway and the New York state line, is a wooded and residential Stamford neighborhood with winding back roads and broad conservation land. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Ridge Road and Long Ridge Road corridor, where farm stands, equestrian facilities, and low-key local shops set a country-leaning rhythm. The Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens anchors the landscape with trails and curated plant collections. Stamford Museum & Nature Center adds a cultural counterpoint with galleries, a working farm, and outdoor programs. Housing trends toward larger colonials and contemporaries set on deep lots, with stone walls and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Hiking loops and reservoir edges define weekends, while the drive into downtown Stamford stays firmly in the background.
