Description
Open House Saturday 2PM–4PM.
Perfectly positioned in one of Montclair's most coveted neighborhoods, this stunning 5-bedroom Craftsman Colonial seamlessly blends timeless character with modern updates. A 10-minute stroll brings you to Watchung Plaza and the NYC Midtown Direct train. One block from Brookdale Park's walking paths, dog run and open green spaces, and steps from Glen Ridge Country Club for pool, golf and tennis. Arrive to exceptional curb appeal with a newly landscaped front yard and bluestone walkway. Originally built as the neighborhood's model home in the 1920s, the house retains its gracious original details including leaded glass windows in the dining room, a wood burning fireplace in the living room and classic dental moldings. Hardwood floors throughout. A sun-drenched sunroom flows seamlessly into the living room, adding warmth and light. The first floor continues into a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble countertops and ample storage. Outside, a covered porch, bluestone patio and climbing hydrangea pergola create an idyllic setting for gatherings and evenings under the stars, within a lush, fully fenced backyard with a two-car garage and charming children's playhouse. The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, including one outfitted as a walk-in closet, plus a beautifully renovated hall bath. The third floor adds two additional bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests or a home office. This is Montclair living at its finest.
