535 Hollow Rd, Skillman, NJ 08558

Off the beaten path in Montgomery Township, turn down the long private drive shared and arrive at this storybook Sourland setting. The screened porch and the deck instantly set the vacation mood here and it only continues as you explore the grounds backing to preserved woodlands with direct access to Zion’s Crossing Trail and a trout-stocked stream. Inside, the floor plan features living and dining rooms with an old stone fireplace built with quarried stone pulled right from the property delineating each space and old barn beams adding character to the ceiling. Inscribed with signage from some of the local bridges and mills, it's no wonder this home was at one time the residence of Fred Skillman himself! A door opens these rooms to the large deck for a trio of entertaining options. The dine in kitchen has plenty of space for everyone to gather around with counter seating, stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, and peaceful vistas. On the main level, find the primary bedroom suite with a full bathroom, an oversized mudroom with new flooring that could serve so many functions, and the big, screened porch, also with new flooring. A half bathroom is in the hall. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a bath, and a walk-in attic for all the storage you will ever need. A charming guest cottage is also on the property with a kitchenette and a bathroom of its own. There’s also an oversized detached garage. This oasis is mere miles from the heart of Princeton and Montgomery’s highly regarded schools, but you’d never know it!
