Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in Montclair, The Lilac Cottage is as enchanting as its name. From the moment you arrive, this storybook home charms with its blooming gardens, picturesque porch, and timeless curb appeal. Step inside and you'll find a perfect blend of historic character and thoughtful, high-end upgrades that make everyday living feel special. The heart of the home is the stunning screened-in porch, rebuilt with rich Ipe wood, custom doors, and even a sweet doggy door ideal for morning coffee or lazy afternoons. Inside, the first floor flows beautifully with warm, inviting spaces and a full bath, while the second floor offers three bright bedrooms and a luxurious marble-clad bathroom adorned with designer wallpaper. Comfort abounds with central air upstairs, a mini-split downstairs, and every window and wall lovingly restored or replaced. Extensive upgrades include 200amp electric, new appliances, smart home tech, EV charger, radon mitigation, and much more all wrapped in classic cottage charm. The Lilac Cottage is not just a home, it's a feeling.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
