Property details
About 33-1/2 Toilsome Ave
Tucked into one of Cranbury's most peaceful corners, this stunning ranch home was curated with such care, it feels like it belongs on the cover of a magazine - but it's even better, because it's real. Designed in a charming antique farmhouse style, every inch of this two-bedroom, two-bath home tells a story. Inside, you'll find custom hand-sculpted ceilings and walls - crafted painstakingly with a putty knife, stroke by stroke - creating a texture and character that's truly one-of-a-kind. Natural light dances across these surfaces, wrapping the home in a warm, soulful glow that no photograph can truly capture. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a full bath and a wraparound closet, while the flexible, partially finished lower level is ready for a guest space, a media room, a gym - whatever your lifestyle calls for. Outside, the magic deepens. A custom-cut deck invites you to relax beside a gently cascading waterfall, flowing down the hill into a koi pond nestled among beautifully landscaped gardens. A wisteria-draped pergola and two screened-in porches create enchanting spaces to sip your morning coffee, read a novel, or simply watch the world slow down around you. The Hilltop Hideaway isn't just a home - it's a softer, slower way of living. A rare opportunity for those who crave beauty, peace, and simplicity, without the upkeep of a sprawling property - all tucked into one of Norwalk's most beloved neighborhoods. Come experience the feeling for you
