Welcome to 56 Highland Avenue in Montclair
This 1926 stone English Manor home at 56 Highland Avenue in Montclair has breathtaking sunrises and magnificent views of New York City. The estate is set on 2.5+ acres and features 7,810 square feet of living space. The restoration work of the unmatched historic detail within the home has ensured the museum-quality woodwork and stone masonry shines in its original glory. Restored and renovated by Jack Finn, stunning details add to the elegance of each room including four fireplaces, coffered ceilings, ornate plasterwork, leaded stained glass windows, and magnificent carved woodwork.
The Elegant Interiors
The formal rooms on the first floor include the living room, dining room, library, and family room — each with a large fireplace and ornate mantle. The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a separate breakfast room.
Upstairs the primary suite includes a spectacular bathroom suite with a dressing room + closet, bath, and sitting room. The second floor also houses three additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and an in-home office.
The third floor has two additional bedrooms + bathrooms, a second office space, and game room. In the basement, the large family room stays cool in the summer and is the very picture of a cozy spot in the winter with a crackling fire. The ground floor also features a fitness gym, spa-like steam shower, and a sauna large enough to fit multiple people.
The Perks of Estate Living
The backyard is a resort-like oasis with an in-ground Gunite pool complete with its very own waterfall, surrounded by luscious landscaping including hydrangeas and ferns. The newly-built pool house features a kitchen, bar, bathroom, changing room, and laundry. A large grass field provides space for hours of fun and play.
This estate goes beyond the stone mansion, pool house, and professionally landscaped grounds to include a two-bedroom carriage house above the three-car garage. The property backs onto parkland for a truly private oasis without sacrificing proximity to the shopping, dining, museums, and entertainment in Bloomfield and Montclair.
