Iron gates and fences surround this elegant, updated 1896 Queen Ann Victorian landmark on a beautifully landscaped 12,494sf site in Montclair. Past a bubbling fountain, you’ll arrive a the covered front porch with its detailed pillars and enter the dramatic foyer and the oak main staircase. A spacious high-ceiling sitting room demonstrates how historic architecture and contemporary design coexist beautifully. Note the vintage leaded-glass top-lite window overlooking the front porch. Pocket doors and French doors help define the spaces and connect the Hearth Room with its classic fireplace. The Hearth Room room adjoins the large formal dining room with its fireplace and Victorian mantle. A sunroom is nestled in the southeast corner, opening to the yard. From the dining room, a hallway connects to the powder bath and kitchen with its large granite-topped island, cherry cabinets, and stainless steel Viking 6-burner + griddle range with 2 ovens, a Viking hood, and Dacor French-door refrigerator w/dispenser. A rear staircase leads to the 2nd floor from the kitchen for convenience. 3rd floor is a vaulted primary “retreat” with two walk-in closets, a gas fireplace, and built-in chests of drawers, and an en-suite bath with a marble double vanity, steam shower with a bench. From the grand main staircase you’ll see vintage light fixtures throughout the second floor. Four bedrooms grace the 2nd level: one contained in the turret, one overlooks the front yard, one with a vintage fireplace and sunny southern exposure.The 4th has a covered balcony, hardwood floor, and en-suite bath. A full bath with a slipper tub and shower, marble vanity + en-suite laundry complete the 2nd floor. The basement includes a large rec room, wine room/wet bar, craft room, a 3/4 bath, laundry + storage. The yard is incredible: brick paver patios, bubbling fountains, a built-in Napoleon gas grille, granite counter, beverage fridge, vine-covered pergola, brick wood-burning fireplace + gas fire pit.
