About This Home

As of September 2024

5783 Florence Ter is a stunningly renovated 2-bed, 2-bath home in the Montclair Hills, just moments from Thornhill Shops and downtown Montclair. Through the front door from the elevated front deck, the living room awaits with a striking fireplace at its center. Vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and skylights highlight the space. Enjoy the true office through the french doors. The heart of the home is the impeccably updated eat-in kitchen, boasting brass fixtures, subway tile backsplash, gleaming quartz countertops, and brand-new GE appliances. Down the hall, adjacent to the laundry nook, the main bath exudes luxury with patterned floor tile, and glass-enclosed shower featuring marble floor tile and floor-to-ceiling subway tile. Vaulted wood plank ceilings mark the bedrooms, while the sizeable rear primary offers a large walk-in closet and a versatile loft area. The rear deck, perfect for dining alfresco and hosting guests, offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow from both the kitchen and primary. The substantial backyard is a blank canvas, and a second back deck provides a sunny spot for relaxation. Below the main home is extra space ideal for guests or in-laws. Lastly, the home is completed by owned solar on the roof and two basement storage areas. Close to Highways 13 & 24.
