Designed by architect Philip Collins as his personal residence, this enormous light-filled home in Hopewell, NJ is now on the market for $1.65 million. Collins is the one and only owner of the home since it was built in 1970, so it's a unique opportunity to own an architectural marvel.

Constructed with the idea of letting the outdoors in, the rectangular-shaped house is supported by a series of stone pillars that ring the outside of the home. These pillars support cedar beams running throughout the house.

According to listing agent Jerel Washington, none of the home's interior walls are supporting walls.

"There are no interior or exterior load-bearing partitions, which provides for total planning flexibility," he says.

This post and beam construction combined with the use of transom windows inside the home gives the interior of this one-of-a-kind house an open and airy feeling. There's also a 64-foot-long skylight bridge between the main house and the great room.

"When you first walk in the house, a calmness comes over you," Washington notes. "It's tranquil, and you really feel the connection to nature from inside."

Washington also explains the 3,752-square-foot home is broken into two large sections. One section is the entertainment area where the kitchen, living room, wet bar, and great room are located. The other area of the home is the bedroom wing, which has five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Every room in the house—except the bathrooms—is open to the outside. You'll find walls of windows throughout the home.

Washington extolls the views from the great room with its floor to ceiling windows: "You walk into the great room, and you have a 180-degree panoramic view of the outside. You see the lawns extend out and the trees in the distance."

It's a naturally-lit home, thanks to all the windows within the home plus the skylights in the roof.

"The light reflects all through the house," Washington adds. "You don't need to turn on a light anywhere in the house until the sun goes down."

The home sits on a total of 42 acres of land, of which a five acre envelope holds the house. Another 37 acres are currently zoned for farmland — however these lots could be sub-divided into smaller build-able lots. Washington likens the area surrounding the home to having your own private park.

But wait ... there's more.

You'll find an extra bedroom within the entertainment wing off the kitchen which can be used as a maid's bedroom, guest room, or home office.

The home also comes with a separate two-bedroom, one-bathroom 1,250 square foot guest house built in the same style as the main house. The final structure on the property is a huge five-car garage.

And we can't forget to mention the 1,000 square foot finished basement underneath the main house that's currently set up as a game room—or the 1,700 square foot outdoor pool and patio area.

You get the picture.

By now, you should have your nose pressed against the windows, envisioning yourself in this light-filled dream home.
