About This Home
This private carriage house apartment in Montclair's estate section is set apart from typical rental offerings, combining exceptional natural light, generous space, period charm, and seasonal skyline views. Located above a detached garage on a gracious estate-style property, the unit enjoys windows in all principal rooms, creating a bright, airy feel throughout the day. The layout includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a bright and comfortable living area, a separate kitchen, updated finishes, ample below-counter storage, a built-in wine rack, a full, spacious bathroom, and a generous in-unit laundry room. Offering a high degree of privacy, the apartment is located in a fully separate carriage house building, creating a true sense of separation from the main residence and allowing it to feel like a self-contained home rather than a typical multi-unit apartment. It is especially well suited for those seeking a quiet, residential environment. The rental also includes one oversized private garage bay approximately a car and a half deep providing secure parking and substantial additional storage space, a rare convenience in Montclair rentals. This is a unique opportunity for a tenant seeking privacy, charm, natural light, generous storage, and the character of estate-style living, while remaining close to Montclair's downtown, train access, and major commuter routes.
74 S Mountain Ave is a house located in Essex County and the 07042 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Montclair Public School District attendance zone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
