About this House

Located minutes from downtown Princeton, this stunning home sits on over 7 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac of lovely homes, Enjoy panoramic views of rolling hillside and the backdrop of Princeton Ridge from your beautiful Trex deck in your very private backyard. Most of the property is natural with trees, beautiful views, and the relaxing sound of the Rock Brook as it flows far below on an adjacent property. Major renovations by Princeton Design Guild took this custom 5-bedroom 4.1 bath home built in 1993 to a new level of elegance while maintaining the character of the original peaceful retreat. Perfect for entertaining with connecting rooms off the 2-story entry enhanced by natural light from the many large sliders, windows, and skylights. A large office on the first floor adds flexibility and the kitchen connects to a breakfast room with cathedral ceiling and windows on all sides. Upstairs the primary bedroom enjoys a spa-like bath with a soaking tub also situated to take full advantage of the view. Three other bedrooms, 2 more full baths, laundry, and storage room complete the 2nd floor. There is a finished basement with an elevator to the first floor and a walk-out entrance to the patio and fenced backyard. The large room in the basement has a door to the patio and an attached bathroom with a roll-in shower (no threshold) to accommodate a wheelchair; as well as other rooms for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Septic system designed and approved for a 5-bedroom house. A few other features include an over-sized composite deck (1200 sq ft TrexPro Platinum deck with post lighting and stairs to backyard completed 5/12/20), Bosch Dish Washer (2019), Sub Zero Refrigerator (2017), 3-car garage, 3 fireplaces, Water Heater (2019), 2 newer furnaces (2017), 2 newer AC condensers (2018), Pennacchi & Sons Masonry (2022), backyard fence (2015), and a Generac generator (2015).

    "not good access to major interstate. good for local commutes to princeton and other big pharma but getting to north jersey is not great"
  • Sue
    "To live in Skillman, means you will need to own a car to get to get around. That said, it’s been a great community to raise a family."
  • Sue
    "The schools are great! Worth the high property taxes. Great place to raise a family. I’d highly recommend having a family here. This community is welcoming to all individuals."
  • Schmittm1
    "The Sourland Mountain area is a perfect place to live if you love nature and privacy without loosing the feeling of community. Many hiking trails and quiet areas, yet only minutes from restaurants in Princeton and Hopewell, and about and hour to Philly and NYC. Schools are excellent, and the neighbors are amazing (and not as pretentious as Princeton)!!!!!!!! I couldn't think of a better place to live! I love it here!"
  • Alicia T.
    "This is a great area to raise a family; top rated Montgomery Schools 50 min train commute to NYC friendly town and beautiful farmland surroundings . Skillman is the top rated town with easy access to Princeton University and town. "
  • Scarletaquatic
    "Anyone rating Montgomery Twp. schools at less than Excellent doesn't know what they're talking about. Also, there is a high density of private schools of the highest quality (well, and price...) in the immediate area. This is a spotlessly clean suburban community boarding on some of the most attractive rural areas in the mid-atlantic. Only real negative is lack of public transportation."
