Montclair NJ Residence II

Nestled in a prestigious neighborhood of Montclair, NJ, this residence is a remarkable testament to the seamless integration of contemporary design and functional living. Drawing inspiration from Bauhaus principles, the home unifies art, craft, and technology to create an environment that balances aesthetic elegance with everyday practicality.

The living room serves as the heart of the home, where expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and establish an uninterrupted connection to the lush outdoor landscape. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, providing warmth and a cozy focal point for family gatherings and intimate evenings.

The gourmet kitchen elevates the culinary experience with its high-end Wolf appliances, including a cooktop, double ovens, and a warming drawer, while a Sub Zero refrigerator and dual Bosch dishwashers bring effortless functionality. Sleek Silestone Quartz countertops and Neff cabinetry add a sophisticated modern touch. Adjacent to the main kitchen, the prep kitchen—with its striking blue cabinetry, icemaker, and abundant storage—enhances both style and practicality, offering an artful approach to entertaining.

The second floor is designed as a tranquil retreat, featuring four en-suite bedrooms with custom closets to suit every lifestyle. A spacious family room on this level invites relaxation, with a gas fireplace and treetop views that add to the serene ambiance.

The lower level expands the home’s versatility, offering a walk-out basement with a full bath, recreation areas, and unique spaces tailored to the family’s lifestyle. A dedicated music room, complete with acoustically treated walls and ceilings, is ideal for passionate musicians, while a thoughtfully designed dog shower adds convenience for pet-friendly living.

Architecturally, the home emphasizes clean lines and bold geometric forms, creating a visually cohesive flow throughout. Inspired by the serenity of Japanese architecture, warm walnut tones and intentional spatial planning add a welcoming warmth to the modern design.

Practical enhancements, such as a heated paver driveway, an insulated three-car garage, and a full-house generator, further elevate the home’s convenience and functionality. This residence stands as a harmonious blend of modern elegance and thoughtful design, offering families an extraordinary living experience in a coveted location.
