An architect-designed mid-century modern on 2.55 secluded acres in Skillman. William Thompson called this home his "little gem," designing it in 1972 and overseeing its construction; in 2000 he returned with craftsman Volker Klotz to guide a seamless renovation and expansion. Set well back from the road on a private lot with woods along the rear, the property is remarkably quiet — most days the only sound is birdsong. Inside: hardwood and hand-laid brick floors, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, Andersen windows and French doors, skylights, central vacuum, generous storage, and FIOS wiring. Morning light fills the rooms. The updated kitchen adjoins a butler's pantry and laundry, and its breakfast area opens directly into a four-season sunroom. A step down, the adjoining dining and living rooms share the home's most dramatic space, where tall windows look out to the wooded rear yard beneath a two-story vaulted ceiling. Three bedrooms and two full baths, plus adaptable light-filled rooms upstairs and down, a loft library off the second-story balcony, and a primary suite with dressing room, walk-in closet, and private balcony. Covered carport parking.
