164 Lower Creek Rd

Stockton, NJ 08559

Surrounded by preserved land on one side, and a bucolic farm on the other, you'll feel like you've found your own private sanctuary, yet this slice of heaven is minutes from the popular river town Stockton and about an hour's drive from New York City and Philadelphia. To get to town, choose either the country road along a babbling creek or the one with the covered bridge, and you'll find shops, restaurants, and entertainment to satisfy a full range of tastes! This beautiful home combines elements of Japanese interior design emphasizing clean lines, natural materials, and neutral colors to create a peaceful and calming atmosphere, with Scandinavia, known for its light woods, cypress, and pine. Expansive views in all directions, from the gourmet kitchen and breakfast nook to the living room with wood-burning stove, create a sense of living in nature. If we had to sum up the whole experience in one word, it would be zen. The home boasts a wide range of hand-crafted, custom built-ins including bookcases, seating and dining areas, desk/home office, and functional storage. All are complemented by wide plank cypress wood floors throughout. The master bedroom on the main level adjacent to a full bath were designed to elicit an energized feeling of calm and tranquility. The terrace level below, accessible by a conveniently located central staircase, could accommodate additional bedrooms or guest quarters. The lower level was originally designed as an artist's/architect's studio, with its own full bath and laundry facility. An architectural grade concrete floor with radiant heat adds an aesthetically pleasing element to a generous area easily adapted for many uses including an expanded home office or living space, spa/workout area, you name it. The large 10'X30' deck is perfect for today's outdoor entertaining, fully protected by a generous architecturally pleasing overhang, and ideally positioned for sunset viewing all year long. The exterior of the home, made of the long-lasting heartwood cypress, has been allowed to age naturally to blend in with the surroundings requiring little to no maintenance.Simply stated a must-see for anyone interested in loving where they live.
