265 Midland Avenue, Montclair – Sold For $865,000

No need to ever worry about missing the train or bus! You can make it in less than 2 minutes from this gorgeous home in the Watchung Plaza neighborhood. Try out the commute and join us for a special public open house “Drinks on the Deck” on Friday evening, September 27th 5-7 pm. If you’re already a Montclairian, come take a look at the house on your way home. If you can’t make it Friday, we are hosting 2 other public open houses this weekend. Please note the different times.

This is a beautiful home with an extraordinary property and an extraordinary location. A lovely 1920s Colonial with some interesting architectural details, the home is also light, sunny, and lovingly maintained. All the rooms are very generous in size from the large living room, ample sunroom/playroom, and oversized dining room, to the updated kitchen with breakfast area or mudroom space, from the king-sized master and its bonus sitting room/office that could be perfect for a future master ensuite to the three other spacious bedrooms.

The basement is large and has great ceiling height, which will enable it to be finished into a tremendous finished family room, media room etc. It also offers outside access to the driveway and backyard.

Sliding doors off the kitchen lead to a beautiful deck overlooking the breathtaking yard, with an immaculate 2 car garage, custom-built potting shed, “the real deal” vegetable gardens, expansive lawn and gorgeous landscaping and hardscaping. Just visible above the rear fence is the Watchung Avenue sign on the platform of the Midtown Direct Train at Watchung station.

You know what they say about location, and here it will all come true. This is one of the most sought after streets in Montclair for a number of reasons: it is a wide, boulevard kind of street, where the houses have space between them yet maintain a neighborly feel, all the homes are beautiful and high-end, it’s super close to Watchung Plaza, the High School and Edgemont Park, it’s on the route for the famous annual July 4th Parade and the Project Graduation Parade, both of which are big deals and special Montclair traditions. Front lawn parties abound on Midland Avenue.

265 Midland is just lovely the way it is, but if you are yearning for a property that you can expand to make your own, whether it’s just a family room extension off the kitchen or a full-blown basement to attic extension with all the bells and whistles, then this location is going to be well worth it.
