About This Property
Perfectly set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the Housatonic River, this beautifully reimagined Cape offers a rare combination of timeless craftsmanship, elevated design, and waterfront serenity. From the moment you arrive there is a sense of tranquility - the view of the river, the gentle breeze through the trees, and the way the light fills the rooms all blend to create a luxurious, private waterfront retreat.
Originally built in 1950, every inch of this 2,605 square foot home has been thoughtfully curated with premium finishes and custom elements throughout. Every detail has been considered, from the marble counters and custom cabinetry to the gleaming hardwood floors and designer lighting; every room feels sophisticated and welcoming.
At the heart of the home, you'll find a beautifully appointed kitchen, which features a large marble island with seating and storage, custom farmhouse-style sink, garden window, stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, work station, pantry, and plenty of storage space. Tucked off to the side beyond a French door you'll find a cozy office overlooking the deck. The newly designed mudroom/laundry room off of the one car garage is the perfect drop zone for bags, shoes, and everyday essentials.
A swinging door opens to the dining room, beautifully designed with an eye-catching chandelier and nature-inspired wallpaper, with sliding glass doors to the deck. Flowing seamlessly to the living room, this space is where the indoors and outdoors meet. Here, walls of windows provide sweeping views of the Housatonic River and the home's park-like grounds. Step onto the balcony off the living room to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the river and filters through the trees. Anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, the living room feels inviting yet cozy in every season.
Five bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide flexible space for a variety of needs, with both first and second floor primary options. The first floor features two bedrooms, one currently being used as an office with its walls of built-in bookshelves, and the other bedroom has calming river views. The large spa-like bathroom has radiant heat, a double vanity, and a steam shower. Upstairs, three bedrooms await, with the primary bedroom offering a custom closet system and room for a king-sized bed; the two additional bedrooms both have walk-in closets. The second floor full bathroom has a glass walk-in shower, a double vanity, and plenty of storage.
The expansive bonus room has been designed with flexible living in mind, perfect for a playroom, family room, or game room. The skylight and custom carpet adds a warm touch to the space. The unfinished walkout lower level provides ample storage space and future expansion potential.
Step outside to take in the views from the backyard, or follow the maintained path to the water’s edge - the perfect spot for fishing, kayaking, boating, or simply enjoying the serenity of the river. The property’s elevation above the floodplain means no flood insurance is required! The nearly half acre lot is beautifully tiered and landscaped with a charming stone wall as a halfway point, offering flat areas for entertaining or play. Mature trees and shrubbery surround the property, offering privacy and resting spots for birds and animals who also call 576 Bridgeview Place their home.
Located just minutes to Stratford’s vibrant Paradise Green shopping area, Short Beach, dining, shops, schools, parks, I-95, and the Metro North train allows the future owner to enjoy a home that feels worlds away, yet close to everything. Equal parts coastal retreat and designer showpiece, this home stands apart, in a peaceful, desirable neighborhood tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life. 576 Bridgeview Place combines craftsmanship, comfort, and riverfront lifestyle that discerning buyers seek, at a value rarely found along Connecticut’s coast.
