Description

On a country road just past Princeton's border is a Skillman property of nearly 15 acres with what appears at first glance to be a cottage-like cape, but is actually a 5,000 square foot house with 3-stories carefully designed to take in sweeping Bedens Brook views. This magical place was the beloved home of George Gallup, Jr. who, along with his father, pioneered the famous polling system. Also an accomplished writer and loving father, Gallup found the peaceful environs an inspiration for work and...On a country road just past Princeton's border is a Skillman property of nearly 15 acres with what appears at first glance to be a cottage-like cape, but is actually a 5,000 square foot house with 3-stories carefully designed to take in sweeping Bedens Brook views. This magical place was the beloved home of George Gallup, Jr. who, along with his father, pioneered the famous polling system. Also an accomplished writer and loving father, Gallup found the peaceful environs an inspiration for work and a haven for play, complete with tennis court and elliptical pool. A slate roof, antique hardware and salvaged brick flooring bring inimitable personality to the rambling white home with 5 working fireplaces and 5 bedrooms. The master suite's glass-enclosed slate bath basks in woodsy privacy. Two other main level bedrooms have French doors opening to a sundeck. There are many cozy spots for solitude, as well as a grand living room for formal entertaining. A garage loft has views of the pool and open field beyond.
