Imagine yourself here - on one of Montclair's most idyllic blocks, where lovely gardens, evening strolls, & neighborhood gatherings are simply part of everyday life. This gem blends warmth, charm, & easy living just moments from concerts, the dog park & playgrounds at Brookdale, ice cream at Applegate Farm, Uptown restaurants, movies, cafes, & NYC train & bus access. Inside, the layout unfolds beautifully for today's lifestyle. A gracious entry welcomes you home. The generously scaled family room off the kitchen will become the heart of the home. The kitchen offers exceptional space for cooking, homework sessions, takeout nights, & lingering breakfasts overlooking the backyard. Dining & living rooms anchored by a wood-burning fireplace bring just the right amount of character. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds remarkable flexibility with a fabulous bonus space, a full bath, & a rec area with built-ins ready to store all the games for family tournaments, movie marathons, crafts, & the joyful collections of life. On the 2nd floor, a serene primary ensuite with bath plus 2 additional bedrooms & a hall bath. A 4th bedroom on the 3rd floor, full bath, & expansive alcove provide an ideal setting for home office, creative studio, or quiet retreat. Abundant closets throughout. Private, green, & inviting front & back yards create an idyllic backdrop for summer dinners, soccer balls, gardening, & catching fireflies at dusk in one of Montclair's most beloved neighborhoods.
