About This Home

As of June 2025

Perched on Montclair's First Mountain, this architecturally striking retreat is a rare fusion of modern luxury and natural serenity. Designed to inspire, the home's dramatic aesthetic features 25-foot soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, walls of glass, and industrial-chic galvanized steel accents, creating a bold yet harmonious living environment. The sleek and flawlessly integrated chef's kitchen flows effortlessly into expansive living and dining areas, anchored by a stunning two-sided wood-burning fireplace. Oversized sliding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, inviting you to entertain or unwind in the outdoor jacuzzi or the elegant patio surrounded by lush terraced gardens. Upstairs, a floating catwalk leads to an office that feels like you're in a treehouse, and a private primary suite sanctuary with a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in custom closets, and a secluded terrace. Indulge in the spa-like bath, featuring a deep soaking tub, oversized shower, and direct access to a tranquil balcony with sweeping views of the lush surroundings. Cap it all off with a rooftop terrace, offering front-row seats to dazzling sunsets and stunning NYC skyline views. This one-of-a-kind passive solar residence is as functional as it is beautiful. It boasts a three-story hydraulic elevator, cedar and Viroc exterior, radiant heat flooring, energy-efficient windows, a whole-house Sonos sound system, and underground irrigation. A truly magical place to call home.
