4 Benson Ln, Skillman, NJ 08558

Savoring the view out by the pond, taking a dip in the pool, even just wandering the 5.8-acre grounds, with manicured gardens, flowering trees and stone walls, feel like moments from a Martha's Vineyard getaway. The classically-styled, stone-front house is just as rejuvenating with of-the-moment finishes and an airy, laidback floor plan, which was cleverly adjusted for a more functional mudroom and more. At the same time, in 2017, wood floors were revived and the kitchen redesigned with timeless materials, such as walnut and marble, and high-end appliances, including a Pro-Series SubZero. French doors and a newly tiled fireplace give the gracious formal rooms just enough glimmer, while a tall stone fireplace adds coziness to the 2-story family room. Just outside, a breezy pavilion, full-service pool house and stone patios encircling the pool and spa beckon everyone outdoors. On dreary days, the huge finished basement is priceless. Upstairs, 5 lovely bedrooms all open to stylishly renovated bathrooms. The main suite's dreamy sitting room boasts the most relaxing views of all! Popular meeting spot Brick Farm Tavern and the charming borough of Hopewell are just 2 turns away.

Nearly 6 breathtaking acres, expertly designed by an award-winning landscape architect, surround this remarkable home tucked away in a private enclave close to the historic towns of Hopewell and Princeton. Sunshine and pond views stream through French doors and walls of windows into grandly-scaled living and dining rooms, showcasing lofty ceilings, custom millwork, and the 1st of 4 fireplaces. Drenched in natural light, an incredible gourmet kitchen with every possible appointment adjoins a vaulted breakfast room and double-height Great Room, all overlooking the pool, pool house, and fan-cooled pavilion. Two powder rooms, tiled mudroom and laundry are nearby. A bookcase-sheathed library boasts a fireplace and pocket door to privatize the study. Front and back staircases lead to 3 spectacular bedrooms and 2 suites, all with inside access to beautifully-tiled bathrooms. An expansive finished basement surprises with a rec area, gym, wine storage, and a full bath. A fully-fenced yard is wrapped in picturesque gardens and stone terraces. 3-car garage. (P. S. There is a 6th bathroom in the pool house!)
