Beautifully reimagined and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional two-family home in the heart of Montclair offers the perfect blend of modern living and high investment potential. The property features two spacious units across three levels. The first unit includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, an open kitchen and dining area, a bright living space, and in-unit laundry hookups—ideal for consistent rental income. The second unit spans two floors and offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, highlighted by a luxurious primary suite with a freestanding tub, walk-in rainfall shower with body sprays, flexible living areas, dedicated laundry, and zoned HVAC. A full renovation completed in 2018–2019 brought extensive upgrades: enhanced insulation, measures to reduce sound transfer between units, 300-amp electrical service, updated plumbing, HVAC, Andersen windows, and a composite two-story deck. Exterior improvements include full perimeter waterproofing, sump system, R5 insulation, new siding, and a new LVL beam. Additional highlights include a walkout basement, Cat6 wiring in every room, and structured media panels for modern connectivity. Just a 5-minute walk to the train and approximately 40 minutes to NYC Penn Station, this turnkey property is perfectly positioned for investors, with easy access to parks, schools, transit, and vibrant downtown Montclair.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
