About this home
Welcome to 179 W Rocks Rd, a beautifully updated Colonial tucked away on a quiet private road in Norwalk's sought-after Cranbury neighborhood on the border of Westport. Set on 0.57 acres in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 2 full and 1 half bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, modern updates, flexible living space, and a rare flat fully usable backyard. Surrounded by mature trees and beautifully maintained landscaping, the property offers a tranquil setting while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, golf courses, Cranbury Park, Metro-North, Calf Pasture Beach, The SoNo Collection, and major commuting routes. Inside, sun-filled living spaces feature hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, and a seamless floor plan designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The renovated eat-in kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home with premium Cafe appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized center island with seating, and sliders leading directly to the outdoor living space. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area and inviting family room with fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Adding even more flexibility to the home is the additional spacious room above the garage, ideal for a home office, media room, playroom, guest area, studio, gym, or additional living space.

Public record
From the Norwalk assessor's public property record. These figures describe the property as the town has it on file and can differ from the listing — a finished basement or an addition may not be reflected in the assessor's living area.
Recorded sales
Deed transfers on file with the Norwalk land records, newest first. These are recordings rather than MLS sales, so they include transfers that were never listed. Nominal and $0 transfers (estate, trust and family conveyances) are excluded.
