Property Description

This meticulously maintained and historically significant 7BR, 4.1 BA Colonial Revival Estate was redesigned by renowned architect E.R. North and once home to former New Jersey Governor James J. Fielder. Blending timeless architectural elegance with modern luxury and thoughtful upgrades, it is a true Montclair gem. A major 2017 renovation added a spectacular chef's eat-in kitchen, an additional bedroom, and expanded the basement. Sun-filled formal and informal spaces showcase soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, and beautifully preserved period details. The primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet is a cozy retreat. The coveted second-floor laundry makes homekeeping a breeze. Outdoors is an oasis of stunning perennial gardens, mature trees, and a private, resort-like backyard with a glimmering pool, expansive patios, and multiple spaces for entertaining or relaxing. Updated HVAC, electric, plumbing, high-end appliances, new Pella windows throughout, 14 zone sprinkler system, a full house generator and security system provides comfort and peace of mind. Located in Montclair's sought-after Estate section and moments from our vibrant downtown's acclaimed restaurants, shops, parks, and Midtown Direct train service, this distinguished residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home of exceptional history, architectural significance, and contemporary comfort just 12 miles west of New York City
