The perfect balance! Want the character of a classic Montclair home, plus the space and updates of a newer build? Done! This classic Colonial has been expanded and updated in the best possible way. Gleaming custom-built, solid wood cabinets, built-ins & moldings are the hallmark of this remarkable expansion. The original Living Room, w/woodburning fireplace, window-lined Sunroom & adjoining spacious Dining Room are welcoming and lovely. The heart of this home is the huge Chef's Kitchen w/adjoining, sunken Family Room! You'll love the warm woods of the custom Vermont cabinetry, the center island w/prep sink, walk-in Pantry & stainless steel appliances. The built-in Brkfast area overlooks the deck and garden. The enormous Family Room, w/custom, solid-wood wainscoating and banks of windows, is both sunny and cozy. Upstairs, the exquisite craftsmanship carries through in the Primary Suite, w/hexagonal reading nook, private Balcony, walk-in closet & en suite Spa Bath w/separate steam shwer & soaking tub. Second fl Laundy & 3 more Bedrooms on this level, plus updated hall Bath, are the ideal floorplan. The Bsmnt has both a finished area w/Full Bath, plus a full addition footprint of high ceilinged, unfinished space w/wine cellar and walk-out. Outside, the landscaping is mature, the backyard deep & the hidden Zen garden delightful! Location? Set between Walnut St. & Watchung Plz (.9 to either), restaurants, Farmers' Mkt and NYC train are just a stone's throw away! Perfect.
