159 Wild Azalea Ln, Skillman, NJ 08558

159 Azalea Lane, Skillman: Located in the exclusive enclave of Fieldstone Glen, this upscale suburban paradise represents the pinnacle of peaceful open air relaxation, ideally equipped to work-from-home and live free from the demands of today's new normal. Abutting 350 acre Skillman Park with a spectacular sunset view of the Sourland Mountains, this slice of heaven is located in the Blue Ribbon School District of Montgomery Township, top private schools, less than 5 miles from Princeton University and an express train to either New York City or Philadelphia. A gently curving brick paver walkway leads to a courtyard outlined by a low, wrought iron fence and filled with lavender and carefully tended bushes and ivy, all hinting at the grandeur of the country French motif within. Upon entering, you encounter a modest two-story foyer, rich in detail with dentil crown molding, a lantern chandelier perfectly positioned to shimmer with morning sunrise. Passing over the inlaid compass rose floor medallion, you will find hardwood floors and neutral colors run throughout the main level of the home. Just off the foyer with expansive open field views, a home office is accessed via French doors, providing privacy when needed. Across the foyer, the formal living room and dining room open onto each other to create an expansive entertaining space with architectural columns and custom draperies creating an inviting formal feel. With a wide-open concept kitchen and family room, you find the perfect place to congregate to attack each new morning or and unwind from the days pursuits. Adorned with antique white cabinetry and integrated refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tumbled stone backsplash, the country kitchen has a substantial center island with storage and seating that adds space, while providing the best seats in the house for grabbing a quick bite or mingling. An expanded breakfast room offers unparalleled views from three sides, surrounded by windows and French doors that lead to the back veranda and brick cathedral porch. Overlooking the dramatic vaulted ceiling family room, the feeling of the room remains intimate due to the cozy fireplace set between two arch-top windows. An ideally situated mudroom off the informal rooms leads from the three-car garage and provides a place to prepare before heading in or out for the day. The second floor hosts the nicely sized master suite, convenient adjoining second-floor laundry room, three additional bedrooms and a hall bath. Take your indoor entertainment to the next level with a finished basement, an additional 1400 square feet, that has room for a pool table, ping pong table, foosball, television area and separate exercise room. A full bath, 99-bottle wine refrigerator, and a kitchenette make this space even more convenient. What truly distinguishes this home, however, are the spectacular outdoor spaces, like the bluestone back veranda with two ceiling fans and masonry arches with pillars. This covered space allows you to enjoy the outdoors no matter the weather. Step down to a massive bluestone patio before reaching an octagonal firepit with a bench seat lined by brick walls. You can comfortably host a socially distant gathering for dining outdoors, toasting marshmallows, sipping cocktails or simply conversing. The gorgeous expanse of tree lined lawn you gaze upon provides more ample room for lawn games and sports, as well as a calming backdrop seen from every room in your new home. All home furnishings available for purchase. 2020-08-28
