Property Description
Located across from beautiful Brookdale Park and minutes from Watchung Plaza, this stunning 1920s CH Colonial perfectly blends timeless aesthetic with modern updates. A welcoming covered portico leads to a light-filled interior. The first floor features a large living room with a traditional fireplace & a sun-drenched sunroom featuring custom vaulted ceilings and built-in bookshelves. The dining room is accented by handprinted wallpaper and original leaded-pane windows. Modern wood and clad windows throughout ensure insulation, while picture rail moldings evoke charming period detail. The renovated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, honed granite countertops, and custom maple cabinets, leading to a functional mudroom with built-in cubbies and slate flooring. The home offers oversized bedrooms with generous closets. The third-floor primary suite serves as a serene retreat with skylights, clever storage, and a modern European-style ensuite. A large open basement provides excellent storage and potential for a gym/rec/media room, alongside a spacious laundry room. Outside, a full-width bluestone patio overlooks a lush, landscaped backyard & a 2-car garage. The location is unbeatable near Watchung Plaza, Upper Montclair Village & Bloomfield's Brookdale shops. Enjoy 121-acre Brookdale Park or quick access to NYC via the Midtown Direct train, Boxcar bus, or via Route 3 & Garden State Pkwy. This move-in-ready property is the complete package for your best Montclair life.
