Property details
Description

Merion Riverwalk, a vibrant community nestled on the Housatonic River (you won't believe the view!), is just steps away from Downtown Shelton. You'll be minutes from delicious restaurants (be sure to check out Pier131 Kitchen + Bar, Amici's, and Chaplin), bars (Bar140 is "the friendliest little cocktail bar"), and coffee shops (Kickstart Cafe and Common Grounds have the highest quality brew). Add the Shelton Farmers Market to your Saturday morning calendar each week May-October.
