Welcome to 1596 Elm Street, a rare waterfront retreat along the scenic Housatonic River in Stratford. Overlooking Mac's Harbor - the historic landing site of Stratford's first settlers in 1639 - this distinctive costal home blends timeless 1860 character with contemporary updates. Vaulted ceilings and an open-concept main level create a bright, airy living space designed to capture the beauty; of the surrounding landscape. Two spacious decks overlook the river, perennial gardens, and winding paths, offering a private oasis where egrets, swans and passing boats become part of everyday life. Conveniently located near the Metro-North train station, Stratford Library, Sterling Community Center, Baldwin Senior Center, beaches, restaurants, a par-3 golf course, marinas, and many other local amenities. The main house features a welcoming living room with a raised-hearth wood-burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling, a dining room, study, table-sized kitchen, half bath and utility room/closet. Rich hardwood wide-plank and peg floors add warmth and historic charm throughout the main level. Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom, a hallway bath w/laundry, and an office currently used as a bedroom. Connected through the main living area is a versatile two-level in-law apartment with it's own private entrance. This space includes a living/dining area with built-ins, kitchen, upstairs bedroom and full bath with skylight. The upper level is cooled by a mini-split system.
