88 SOUTHERN HILLS DR Skillman, NJ 08558

This custom-built, spacious and gracious New England cedar-shingled colonial, was constructed utilizing the best of everything. Overlooking the 15th fairway at Bedens Brook Club, as well as the mountains in the distance, this house provides surprising privacy, on all sides. A recent luxurious kitchen renovation, and the creation of a gorgeous breakfast room, are the latest in a series of stellar improvements. (Plumbing is in place for the breakfast room to become a 5th bedroom, on the first floor, with full bath, if ever desired). Renovations on this house have continued lovingly each year, with a newer brick driveway and walkways installed, as well as mature professional landscaping planted, annually. The result is magnificent. A light, bright and open floor plan is elegantly enhanced by custom moldings, coffered ceilings, tall windows, wood floors, two fireplaces and tasteful professional decorating. The grand foyer opens to both living and dining rooms, on to the library with its handsome bookcases, and out to a sweet patio. A large family room sits center stage, adjacent to the gourmet kitchen with; two islands, creamy custom cabinetry, marble countertops, Thermador, Miele and SubZero stainless appliances, two dishwashers, refrigerator and warming drawers, a butler's pantry and the rear staircase. The new breakfast room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, beckons for morning coffee. An additional family room, up on the second floor, was recently redone, and is the perfect spot to relax or watch a movie. The master suite is sumptuous with; a sitting room, dual bathrooms, a soaking tub, and two large walk-in closets, one with a dressing room. Three more beautiful bedrooms, and two more full baths, inhabit the second floor, all found off of a sweeping upper landing. The basement serves as recreation space, storage, and as an exercise area, while a 4-car attached and finished garage houses every vehicle and provides all of the storage you might need. Two bluestone patios furnish the backyard sanctuary, with its manicured privacy hedges and English country gardens. A Kohler generator is in place to keep things up and running, when needed. This house is not part of Cherry Valley, it is part of a small Association of its own, comprised of six custom homes in proximity to Bedens Brook Club. Truly, one-of-a-kind!
