57 Raven Rock Rd, Stockton, NJ, 08559

Wind your way through hickory, beech, red bud and maple trees to discover an extraordinary modern home hidden on four acres. Architecture buffs, nature lovers and anyone seeking a sanctuary of serene and quiet privacy will be wowed by this property, where summers are cooler under dappled sunlight, fall brings an explosion of color, and winter is a magical time to watch foxes, deer and flying squirrels romp and forage. The one and only architect-owner won a prestigious AIA design award for his visionary work featuring vast expanses of glass along both walls and ceilings, a custom metal stair rail, and multiple decks, all rebuilt using durable composite. The stone-floor balcony off the living room is a special spot to convene each evening when the sun sets in vibrant shades of pink and orange. A marble fireplace in the living room and a slate accent wall in the dining room below bring natural elements indoors, along with quarter-sawn white oak flooring. Past the eat-in kitchen, the glass-block entry corridor opens to a cozy den and a huge studio. Artistic pursuits are further encouraged by a basement workshop and dark room. The main bedroom offers a corner office alcove, a dressing room lined with custom storage behind solid oak doors, and a slate-tiled walk-in shower. The second versatile, lofty bedroom sits conveniently beside a full bath. Seek adventure and explore the great outdoors beyond the bounds of the property at nearby Bulls Island State Park, Westcott Preserve, the D&R Towpath and, of course, the Delaware River. This house is served by Hunterdon Central High School with a Stockton address.
