Description

There’s a timeless quality to 513 Cherry Valley Road, a Dutch Colonial-style home built in 1876 that stands as both a piece of local history and a warm, inviting residence. While some accounts trace its origins even earlier, authoritative records confirm its late 19th-century construction, when the surrounding area of Skillman was transitioning from farmland into a growing community shaped by new rail lines and industry. As a Dutch Colonial, the home reflects the architectural traditions of early Montgomery Township, with enduring craftsmanship, hardwood floors, exposed beams, and wood-shingle exteriors that echo the Dutch heritage of the region. Its style, preserved and enhanced over the years, creates an atmosphere that is both historic and timeless. The home’s setting is equally storied. Skillman itself was named in the 1870s for the Skillman family, whose role in extending railroad lines helped fuel the area’s growth. Montgomery Township, woven into the fabric of early America, saw Revolutionary War troops pass through its fields, later shaped by turnpikes, canals, and railroads. In the late 1800s, the landscape here was dotted with dairy farms, poultry houses, and orchards—remnants of which still linger in the area’s rural charm. This residence, on its 1.06-acre lot with nearly 2, 900 square feet of living space, remains a reminder of those agrarian roots even as it embraces modern living. Inside, the home offers an ideal balance of history and comfort. Sunlight streams across cherry cabinetry and granite countertops, inviting conversation around the center island where family and friends naturally gather. Beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces, and a sunroom that opens onto a bluestone patio all reflect the gracious living traditions that have long defined Princeton homes. Outdoors, perennial gardens bloom across the seasons while mature trees provide shade and privacy, creating a retreat reminiscent of the cultivated landscapes that have distinguished the region for centuries. The thoughtful floor plan includes four bedrooms, with a convenient first-floor full bath, plus two additional baths upstairs. Whether hosting Thanksgiving in the dining room, watching the snowfall from the sunroom, or dining under summer stars, every season finds its place here. And when you step beyond the property, you are just minutes from downtown Princeton, where generations have strolled past ivy-clad university halls since the 1700s, and close to Montgomery’s top-rated schools—offering both serenity and connection. 513 Cherry Valley Road isn’t just a house; it is a continuation of Princeton’s rich tradition of living well—an enduring Dutch Colonial with a story as welcoming as the home itself.
