Set along the edge of Selbys Pond, this waterfront ranch is the kind of place that feels like you're worlds away, even though everything Stratford has to offer is just minutes away. The beautiful water view is the first thing you'll notice and the last thing you'll want to leave. Hardwood floors carry you from the living room & dining room into the tiled kitchen. The freshly painted kitchen features granite countertops with warm wood cabinetry, where you can enjoy the gorgeous water view while you cook. From the dining room, French doors swing open to the deck overlooking the water. This is where your morning coffee tastes better, where dinner stretches into the evening, and where you'll catch yourself simply relaxing as the seasons change. Down the hall, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms give everyone a quiet retreat to call their own. The primary suite is its own peaceful corner, with a wall of closets, built-in office nook, full bath, and an octagonal window overlooking the water, another coastal nod. You'll love the mature hydrangeas and seagrass tucked around the home, lending a sense of privacy and beauty. The connection to water and nature is woven in here every day. Located on a quiet street yet close to Stratford's restaurants, shops, schools, train station, marina, and I-95. 699 Selbys Pond Road gives you the calm of the shoreline with the exceptional ease of having everything nearby.
Deck as-is, where is. Primary bedroom has slant in flooring, might need additional support underneath.

Stratford Center Historic District, located between the Housatonic River waterfront and the Stratford Green, is a historic and walkable Stratford neighborhood with a colonial-era streetscape and a civic-town-center rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Stratford Green and Main Street, where cafés, small shops, and town institutions frame the common. Architectural cues run from saltbox and Georgian forms to later civic buildings, with sidewalks that keep the pace human-scaled. The Stratford Historical Society’s Captain David Judson House and the Stratford Library anchor local culture in plain sight. Boothe Memorial Park and Museum adds open lawns and curated history just beyond the core. The Housatonic’s edge and nearby marinas give the district a coastal Connecticut backdrop.
