unique stately Colonial
Extraordinary and unique stately Colonial built by Marcus Rothschild situated in a tranquil, private, park-like setting of 0.9 acres and, yet, near the heart of Montclair. Welcoming open front porch announces the stunning entry foyer. The amazing architectural details of pocket doors, fire places and coved ceilings enhance the grand floor plan. The spacious first floor boasts an inviting living room, comfortable music room for casual activities, formal dining room, library, powder room, enclosed sunroom, breakfast room and eat-in kitchen. There is also a mudroom and large coat closet. The second floor offers three oversized bedrooms, two baths, plus the primary suite with walk-in closet, fireplace and, of course, the primary bath. The third floor has two additional bedrooms, a bath, large cedar closet and a storage room. The Art-Deco finished basement with a wet bar is a great place to enjoy entertaining and leisurely activities. Additionally, there are a powder room, laundry, utility, and storage room. Historically, the property traces back to land included in Llewellyn Haskell's estate. Architecturally in its plans and elevation, the house is an adapted version of Design XXV-A Plain Timber Cottage House.
