About This Home

Available Now

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.
