About this home

Tucked between two of Montclair's most beautiful parks, and fronting the Edgemont green, this lovingly cared-for and meticulously maintained 1906 four-square Colonial is a treasure. From its delightful East-facing lemonade porch to its bountiful backyard deck, this classic Montclair home offers loads of charm, comfort, and real convenience, close to shops and trains at Watchung Plaza and Upper Montclair. Many original details, from solid brass doorknobs to pocket doors. Enter the elegant foyer with cedar columns and advance into the formal living room with a gas fireplace and period custom mantel built by local craftsman, Jason Aksman. The beamed and wainscoted dining room with bay window and wood-burning fireplace is ready for memorable gatherings. The eat-in kitchen with granite countertops opens onto a spacious deck and fenced backyard perfect for barbecues and socializing. The second floor showcases four bedrooms, including the primary with a wood-burning fireplace. The main bathroom has been recently renovated. The third-floor features two more bedrooms and a tiled bathroom, with access to ample attic space and the high-efficiency one-zone central AC system. The basement is ready for a multitude of uses. A detached two-car garage with electric door openers and concrete floor provides dry storage for vehicles and accessories. Special bonus: a delightful period playhouse adds to the charm. All in all, a sunny, happy Montclair home in one of the prettiest locations in town.
