A Rare Riverfront Retreat at the End of a Cul-de-Sac. Welcome to 79 Robin Hood Road, a truly exceptional riverfront property tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Stamford's desirable Springdale/Sherwood Forest area, near the Darien and New Canaan borders. Set directly along the Noroton River, this distinctive home offers a remarkable combination of privacy, natural beauty, and open views. Across the river, the manicured fairways of Woodway Country Club create a picturesque backdrop, while approximately 11 acres of protected nature preserve border the property, providing an extraordinary sense of seclusion and connection to nature. The expansive backyard and charming screened porch create an idyllic setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. Inside, warmth and character abound, highlighted by two fireplaces that create inviting spaces for gatherings and cozy evenings. Beautifully established grounds feature mature landscaping, multiple gardens, and distinctive outdoor spaces. A lovely terrace leads to a cascading curved stairway with a built-in, multilevel rock garden, an especially unique feature that adds charm and character to the landscape. A spacious two-car garage with EV charging provides ample room for vehicles, recreational equipment, gardening gear, and storage. This property has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 52 years.
Despite its private, country-like setting, the property is remarkably convenient-approximately 1/2 mile from Springdale Elementary School, two miles from the Springdale train station, and minutes from the Merritt Parkway. 79 Robin Hood Road is more than a home, it is a rare opportunity to own a private riverfront retreat surrounded by nature, gardens, and extraordinary views, while remaining close to schools, transportation, and all that Stamford has to offer. Some of the many highlights include freshly professionally painted interiors-every square inch!-polished hardwood flooring, new LVT flooring, custom tilework, renovated bathrooms, elegant quartz countertops, an inviting open-concept living space, two fireplaces, stainless steel appliances, new Nest thermostats, natural gas, city water and sewer, and beautifully professionally landscaped grounds.

Springdale, located between Glenbrook and New Canaan, is a residential and commuter-friendly Stamford neighborhood with a rail stop and a village-style commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Hope Street near the Springdale Train Station, where coffee counters, small groceries, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Pillars include the Springdale Train Station, the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, and Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens. Streets of mid-century colonials and tidy capes mix with newer townhomes, giving the area a practical, lived-in feel. Mianus River Park adds wooded trails and river views at the edge of the neighborhood. Local errands and weekday routines tend to orbit Hope Street and the Metro-North schedule.
