The Piedmont Side of Montclair is a great location for people who enjoy walking. Whether just around the neighborhood, to Montclair Village or the Farmers Market on Sunday, it's all sl close. Major freeway arteries are close also.This home is very special in that it is located on a private laneway off of a cul-de-sac so it enjoys maximum privacy from street traffic. You get a true sense of peace and tranquility when you drive up the laneway. The covered front porch is a great place to enjoy the wonderful setting, serenity and front garden. At the back of the house and level-out from the rumpus room is a huge patio that is bathed in sunshine a good part of the day. This mid century contemporary has an open living and dining area with a high wood beam ceiling painted white, clerestory windows and multiple picture windows. There are hardwood floors under the relatively new wall to wall carpeting. Solid, mature, mahogany paneled doors (recycled) have been added to the entrance to the living and dining area for a rich, interesting and creative look. The kitchen is modestly updated with a cozy breakfast room. There are two bedrooms, a full bath and inside access to the garage on this level with only a couple of steps to the entrance. The lower level has a very spacious rumpus/hobby/multi-purpose room with bamboo wood floors and French doors that lead out to the large spacious patio and garden great for large parties and a play area for children. There are plenty of gardening areas for those with a green thumb. The third bedroom and second bath have been converted to studio in-law apartment with separate entrance within which there is a large closet with second laundry set-up. If one wished to do so, an internal connecting door way could be re-established. This home has a lot to offer and is in a very sought after location. Thermopane windows for energy efficiency. The cast iron sewer lateral that has been inspected and is in good condition. Neighborhood Description Nice; safe; lots of trees; 2 blocks to village. Farmer market every Sunday in the village.
