“Bauhaus-inspired” architecture brings to mind solid geometric forms, once thought to be radically simplified, yet enduring and functional. This custom-built home in Montclair, New Jersey is the result of bringing craftsmanship and smart technology together. Asking $3,500,00, this high-end suburban property at 251 South Mountain Avenue has five bedrooms and six baths, floor-to-ceiling windows, a tremendous modern fireplace, a heated driveway, and a three-car garage.
This striking contemporary home has been the backdrop for ad campaigns for H&M, Elie Tahari, and a Brooke Shields Skincare line, and it looks every bit the part. On the first floor, a sprawling living room lounge is surrounded by glass, with views and access to the patios that wrap the home, anchored by a massive fireplace.
The Wolf kitchen embodies functionality, with a cooktop, dual ovens, a warming drawer, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and two Bosch dishwashers. Silestone Quartz countertops and Neff cabinetry provide prep space and storage. Adjacent there’s plenty of dining space, surrounded by architecture and views of the outdoors, and a built-in breakfast nook is perfect for casual dining.
An additional prep kitchen gets colorful with blue cabinets, a dishwasher, and an ice maker. For added convenience, there’s a pantry, laundry facilities, and mud room. Also on this floor: A bedroom with a full bath.
Upstairs are four bedrooms with en-suite baths. Each offers custom closets. Also on this floor, you’ll find a family room with treetop views and a gas fireplace.
On the home’s lowest level, a walk-out basement offers a full bath and opens onto the landscaped grounds. Surrounding the property is a paved, heated driveway, ending in a heated three-car garage. A full-house generator stands ready as backup if needed, assuring that this home runs like a well-oiled machine.
