590 HIGHLAND AVE

Nestled on the leafy north end of Highland Avenue in Upper Montclair, this mid-century 5-bedroom 2.2 bath center hall Colonial with attached 2-car garage, central AC and a separate entrance for a first-floor office or in-law suite offers comfort, flexibility and style. Head up the bluestone walkway and into the foyer with guest closet. The inviting living room with crown molding, hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace opens to a 3-season porch with bluestone floor, track lighting and sliders to the private backyard. The spacious, well-appointed eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook boasts granite counters, recessed lights, sub-zero refrigerator, stained-glass inlay cabinets, appliance caddy and skylight. There are also sliders to the backyard, and a powder room. From the formal dining room with chair rail and dentil molding, there’s access to what could be a first-floor 2-bedroom or office suite, with a powder room with pedestal sink and a separate entrance with skylight. The bedroom currently being used as an office sports double window seats, built-ins, recessed lights, and double closets. On the second floor you’ll find a full guest bath with tub/shower and skylight, a hall linen closet, as well as three more generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with double closets and ensuite bath with marble tile floor, skylight, bidet, stall shower, and built-ins. Back downstairs, a door from the eat-in kitchen leads to the full, finished basement with rec room, laundry and utility rooms, as well as direct access to the 2-car garage (Rain? No problem!). Just 0.3 mile to the NYC train Montclair Heights station, this special home is down the road from Mountain Side Park and Pool, Upper Montclair Village shops and restaurants, and also offers easy access to RT 3 to NYC, as well as the Garden State Parkway and other major highways. This one’s a real gem. Don’t miss!
