Montclair, NJ
Some houses stop you at the door. This one pulls you in. Set on one of Montclair's original estate streets - just a short stroll to vibrant downtown restaurants, the movie theater, music venues, and the direct NYC train - this rare Craftsman blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates throughout. Deceptively grand from the curb, this home unfolds in remarkable depth. Step inside and the materials do the talking - wood, stone, brick, copper, glass, fire - layered over a century and seamlessly updated. Beamed ceilings, rich wood paneling, three fireplaces - all effortlessly current. A cherry-paneled study. A renovated kitchen with soapstone counters and hand-crafted Motawi tile. The surprise is in the scale. Six bedrooms across four floors. The primary suite is dreamy in the truest sense - a generous bedroom, a sun-filled sitting room, and a brand-new spa bathroom you'll never want to leave: artisan handcrafted oversized soaking tub, stall rain shower, radiant heated floors, and Waterworks brass fixtures. Three more en-suite bedrooms. A fourth-floor loft currently a gym. Finished basement with home theater and wine storage. Two-car garage. Mini-splits throughout for effortless room-by-room comfort year round. Out front, a naturalistic meadow garden of fine sedges and spring bulbs just coming into its own -no irrigation, no mowing, just beauty. Steps from everything. Warm. Stylish. Welcome home.
