About This Home
Available Now
This is a rare opportunity to be the inaugural resident of a thoughtfully designed, brand new accessory dwelling unit never lived in, never compromised. Everything from the finishes to the floor plan reflects intentional, mindful design: sleek, modern, and quietly exceptional. Nestled in a quiet, private residential setting, this 2-bedroom ADU was planned from the ground up with the modern renter in mind. Clean lines, efficient use of space, and quality finishes throughout make this feel far more like a curated home than a typical rental. No quirks inherited from a previous tenant, just a fresh start, entirely yours. Two well-proportioned bedrooms give you the flexibility to actually live here; a dedicated sleep space, a proper home office, a creative room, or a setup for a guest. The layout flows with intention, keeping the living areas open and the private spaces private Step outside to your own private beautifully landscaped patio. One dedicated off-street parking spot. A few blocks away & the Watchung Plaza is right there: NJ Transit rail service to NYC, Boxcar Bus, independent coffee shops, acclaimed local dining, boutique retail, and the kind of walkable energy that makes errands feel like a pleasure. This is one of Montclair's most vibrant and connected neighborhoods and you'll have it as your daily backdrop.
