An exceptional location, majestic period architecture, strikingly fitting kitchen and bath renovations, grand-scale interiors connecting to expansive grounds, Bay views, and a spacious au pair suite, it amounts to a perfect paradox: twenty-first-century timeless. Completed within the past two years, transformations of the dine-in kitchen and baths impart classic allure and functional distinction, harmonizing with original attributes throughout the living, dining and sunroom, and four main-house bedrooms including the master suite, embellished with private balcony and Bayscape panorama.Intersecting Piedmont and Crocker Highlands, picturesque Ashmount Avenue showcases renowned, well-preserved architecture set on substantial properties. Such a serene setting belies the locations close proximity to everyday destinations including highly rated schools, access to public transportation and highways, plus shopping, dining throughout the Lakeshore and Montclair hubs.Public rooms link together graciously and open to a broad, view-savoring deck. Divided-light windows deliver abundant sunlight, garden outlooks in the foreground and sweeps of the Bay beyond. Framing the living room, a library wall with sliding ladder, chic black-and-white fireplace, and bay of windows with glass door form functional focal points.The kitchen is rich in high-caliber components and casually elegant charisma. Gray-veined marble graces counters, backsplashes and a gathering-place island with French-blue cabinetry at its base and classic globe pendants overhead lending period authenticity. Level out from the kitchen, a stone path connects to the sprawling terrace for lounging and level beds for play, outlined by blooming artistry and agriculture including exuberant perennials and fruit trees producing persimmons, peaches, apples, and citrus. The garden offers private entry to the lower-level apartment with full bath.
