About the Home

Nestled on a hillside on a private lane on 2.25 natural acres sits this midcentury modern gem - The Trinkaus House - built in 1965 by Allan J Gelbin, apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. Like many modern structures of its time, 15 Skylark Lane takes full advantage of the landscape, the sun and the sky. The heart of this home is the expansive open living room/dining room with huge stone fireplace surrounded by wood elements, floor-to-ceiling windows, a wrap-around deck with views of the pool and field beyond. 5 bedrooms in all, including a master suite with panoramic views with access to one of the many terraces. Tasteful updates include 2.5 bathrooms and Bulthaup kitchen, lighting, radiant heat, Mitsubishi AC wall unit, walk-in master closet, to name a few. 2019 updates include interior painting, window replacement. The delightful sounds of the waterfall and babbling brook across the street add to the serenity of this modern habitat. ||| Diamond in the rough offered in as-is condition. May need $400k in work. Needs new oil tank, AC unit, roof, retaining walls, pool chlorinator. Third Party Approval. Inspection report attached. ||| Short sale.
