Property Description

Spacious 1937 garden cottage in a magical, private park like setting. Custom original woodwork meets thoroughly modern updates in this enchanting one-level home. So many secret nooks, crannies and hidden features to discover! A wide covered brick porch sits beneath the massive oak which provides shade for the mature landscaped gardens. The handsome wood-paneled living room features a soaring brick fireplace flanked by built-ins. A formal dining room with built-ins looks out to the side garden and opens to the kitchen and large sunny family room. Two en-suite bedroom/baths include a large primary suite with huge walk-in closets. The primary bath features a wooden sauna and handy utility closet. The family room shares a breakfast bar with the kitchen and opens to the deck, fruit orchard and veggie boxes. The bonus space has a separate entrance and has provided a variety of uses over the years. It looks out to the rear garden and sits behind the 2-car garage. House heating and hot water are provided by a state-of-the-art heat pump by Harvest Thermal Systems. Solar panels are owned and the structure is seismically retrofitted. Only two blocks from busy Montclair Village shops with hiking trails and transport nearby. Feel the relaxing romance of the 30's while living a modern dream!
