Architect-designed mid-century modern on 2.55 private, wooded acres in Skillman. Set far back from the road and bordered by woods along the rear, this is a property where the land comes first — most days, the only sound is birdsong. Architect William Thompson called this home his "little gem," designing it in 1972 to sit quietly within its landscape and overseeing its construction; in 2000 he returned with craftsman Volker Klotz for a seamless renovation and expansion. The house is built to look outward: tall windows, skylights, and Andersen French doors bring the grounds into nearly every room. The heart of the home is a dramatic two-story living and dining space, where soaring vaulted ceilings rise above walls of glass facing the wooded rear yard. The updated kitchen adjoins a butler's pantry and laundry, and its breakfast area opens to a four-season sunroom — a front-row seat to the grounds in every season. Exposed beams, hardwood and hand-laid brick floors, and morning light throughout. Three bedrooms and two full baths include a primary suite with dressing room, walk-in closet, and a private balcony overlooking the trees. A loft library and flexible rooms on both levels offer space for a home office, studio, or guest quarters. The fully deer-fenced 2.55 acres offer rare privacy and room to garden, explore, and enjoy the outdoors, just minutes from Princeton / Route 206 / train, in the Montgomery Township school district. A classic mid-century carport completes the design.
