About This Home
As of October 2023A simply spectacular setting. Live amongst the trees while being super close to downtown Montclair and school options. Stylishly updated over time this gorgeous two story three bedroom, two bath home is bathed in natural light. Main level is an open floorplan with two skylights. Banks of windows surround you - each set framing an enchanting outdoor view. Wide plank oak flooring throughout lower level and classic oak on upper level. French doors open to the outside from the dining area. A wrap around deck accesses the first of 3 outdoor gathering options. Chef’s kitchen with farmhouse sink has handsome stone counters and marble backsplash. Full bath on this level is updated. On the 2nd floor there are 3 light filled bedrooms, two have vaulted ceilings. The full bath has a lovely skylight. A side-by-side washer/dryer are located down the hall. Thoughtfully constructed verdant gardens and lounge spaces abound. Atop the redwood arbor is a massive wisteria vine. A purposeful dining area under the trellis is a hosting dream as is the outdoor kitchen. Follow the steps up past the wild flower beds to the upper patio – an ideal spot in the late afternoon. A third gathering spot is a long bench under a majestic Buckeye tree. Detached 2 car garage + further storage is found under the house.
