Description
Tucked right next to Mountainside Park, this fully renovated contemporary colonial is all clean lines, great light, and zero projects to tackle. Redone in 2017, the house feels polished without trying too hard. Recent design updates seriously elevate the vibe; gorgeous lighting fixtures, statement wallpaper, and thoughtfully updated hardware throughout. With oversized windows everywhere you turn, the greenery outside becomes part of the experience, giving that dreamy "living in the trees" feeling.The kitchen is a home run: sleek finishes, high-end appliances, tons of prep space, and so open to the first floor. Nobody's stuck cooking alone while everyone else hangs out. Hardwood floors throughout - the layout just flows.Upstairs, the primary suite delivers with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring a double vanity and oversized shower. The lower level walks out to the yard and is super sunny, with high ceilings, polished cement floors, French doors, and major flex-space energy. Outside you are enveloped by lush, mature landscaping creating total privacy, and bursting with color all year long. The entire place feels peaceful, tucked away, and incredibly connected to nature. And somehow, while feeling totally secluded, you're still ridiculously close to Mills Reservation, the sledding hill, the Iris Gardens, public tennis and pickleball courts, the town pool, train, and Upper Montclair with shops and restaurants. It's the kind of location people wait years for.
