26 HILLSIDE TER Skillman, NJ 08558

Fully fenced and surrounded by greenery on a quiet Skillman cul-de-sac, this exceptional five bedroom, three and a half bath colonial has a contemporary feel, blending traditional features with state-of-the art upgrades. The home provides both an open floor plan for kitchen and family room, with a formal dining room, light-filled living room and bedrooms, and magnificent views from every window. The renovated gourmet eat-in kitchen (2021), with an incredible panoramic view of the rear yard, has a suite of stainless-steel appliances, including a Viking Professional six-burner stove which vents to the exterior (purchased by prior owner), Bosch dishwasher (2021), new sink and faucet (2021), Samsung Smart Double Wall Combination Convection/Steam/Conventional Oven (2022), and Subzero refrigerator (purchased by prior owner.) Add to that the new laminate composite board cabinets with quartz counters and great storage options like pot drawers, cutting board storage, and utensil nooks, new subway tile, new double sink and faucet, as well as two pantries and all new lighting. The kitchen island accommodates prep space and a place for informal dining. The waterproof high-end laminate flooring in the kitchen, family room and two of the three and a half renovated bathrooms, is handsome and easy to maintain. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunken family room with a wood-burning fireplace and room for TV watching and relaxation. The dining room and living room both have recently refinished and stained hardwood floors. All the windows at the front of the home, including in the family room, dining room, and living room, are new, double-paned Anderson windows. No bedroom is alike in its design and every bathroom in the home has been renovated.
The spacious primary bedroom has a gas fireplace, huge custom built-out walk-in closet, and an amazing ensuite bathroom (2021), with waterproof laminate tile flooring, two floating vanities with sinks, lighted mirrors, a soaking tub, and new double-paned Anderson windows. A laundry closet, with its Samsung washer and dryer (2016), along with a large storage closet and additional linen closet, complete the primary bathroom space. The upstairs hall bath is also splendid with its new tiling, floating vanity with sink and heated mirror, a 17” deep built-in soaking tub, separate shower with massage nozzles and foot washer, and a smart ventilation fan/light (2021). The additional upstairs bathroom (ensuite with one of the bedrooms) has a fully tiled shower (recently re-grouted and painted) with a linen closet and a new toilet. And the first-floor powder room also has been refurbished in 2016 with new faucets recently added (2022). The fully finished walkout basement has ample space for a gym/ playroom or TV room and large storage space. The entire interior was painted in 2021 and the exterior in 2019. The second floor AC condenser was replaced (2018), the gutters replaced with gutter guards added (2019), and the driveway paved (2019). The entire rear yard is fenced (2015) with post and rail fencing and deer-proof netting.
This extraordinary home sits on 3 ½ acres in the foothills of the Sourland Mountains, yet within a short distance from the well-regarded Montgomery High School, Skillman Park, and the neighborhood Post Office. The rear deck and gazebo area at the rear of the home (which is in the process of being replaced with comparable decking) leads to yard space with ten total raised flower/vegetable beds, most with perennials, and room for play and even a pool.
