Flashback to 1957, when renowned architect P. William Nathan proudly presented this mid-century modern Chestnut Hill Corner house. 16 Wayfaring Road was "Designed for modern minded people - people like you, who admire the clean simple lines, the convenience and beauty of contemporary architecture." Welcome to the 'Hillside' floorplan, where you'll find the main floor thoughtfully arranged with stylish living areas including an eat in kitchen with ample morning light, and a generous living area with massive sliders drawing nature in from a safe distance. Well separated on the opposite end of the main floor, you'll find quiet sleeping quarters with three bedrooms and a tastefully updated bathroom. Downstairs, you'll find a bonus playroom/bedroom, updated laundry and bathroom area, office, mechanicals, and garage/storage. According to the original planner, homes in the Wayfaring and Stonecrop neighborhood have individually varied site lines designed such that no two houses uncomfortably point towards each other. A great deal of planning and a great deal of thought went in to making the details in this house just a little different, and very special! "It's not a Gingerbread mansion or a Banana-Split domicile. It's not a Greek-Revival or Pseudo-Salt Box. Its a contemporary!" Come check out a little piece of Norwalk architectural history and discover this friendly, well-loved neighborhood just in time for warm summer strolls around the block.

Incredible opportunity to move to Cranbury area and remodel/restore a solid home on a half-acre lot neighboring VERY LARGE homes on a quiet tree-lined street. Bring your vision and imagination to expand and make this into a dream home. Owned by same family for 40-plus years and lovingly maintained, the interior is clean and in good condition. Furnace, oil tank and roof have been replaced. Don’t miss this fixer-upper opportunity. Very convenient to the Merritt. Sold AS-IS.
