Welcome to 129 Clarewill Avenue!
On one of Upper Montclair’s most idyllic, tree-lined blocks, this classic center hall Colonial with a first-floor guest suite offers beauty, comfort, and a lifestyle made for memories. Just blocks from Uptown’s shops, cafés, restaurants, and NYC transportation, it balances privacy with connection in the best possible way.

Step onto the welcoming front porch, where rainy afternoons, evening breezes, and neighborly waves become part of daily life. From the moment you arrive, this home feels like the start of something special.

The spacious first-floor separate suite is a rare treasure—complete with its own living room, bedroom, and full bath. It’s ideal for extended guests, multi-generational living, or a private retreat all your own. Imagine the ease of having loved ones nearby for months at a time—coffee together in the morning, then the gift of privacy in the afternoon.

Inside, the main floor shines with a gracious living room and formal dining room, while the open kitchen–family room is the true gathering place. Sliding doors extend the living space seamlessly into the backyard, perfect for everyday moments and effortless entertaining. A smart mudroom and powder room connect the dining room and kitchen, adding flow and function to daily life.

Upstairs, three bedrooms include a serene primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath, a bedroom with a secret clubhouse, and a convenient second-floor laundry room alongside an additional full bath. The third floor adds two more versatile bedrooms or home offices, plus another full bath. Downstairs, a finished basement provides flexible space for play, fitness, or media.

Outdoors, a large private fenced garden sets the stage for dinners under the stars, morning coffee in the sunshine, and endless summer afternoons. With new windows, sunlit rooms, and a coveted Upper Montclair location, this is more than a house—it’s a rare opportunity to live beautifully, every single day.

Welcome to Montclair!
Can a town be all things to all people? Montclair comes close. A picturesque community with a quick commute to Manhattan, Montclair is a cultural hub offering unparalleled energy and engagement all at your fingertips.

Home to sports fields and playgrounds, manicured parks and miles of hiking trails, public gardens and private backyards, sledding hills and town pools, Montclair’s expansive outdoor life is surpassed only by its “downtowns” where you can wander among countless restaurants and cafes, boutiques and bookstores. Oh, and the coffee shops!

Our magnet schools are a national model and our adult school rivals the offerings at many colleges. And speaking of colleges, we have Montclair State right up the hill with an indoor ice-rink and amazing theater productions.

From Montclair’s world-class jazz festival (Sept 13, downtown! https://www.montclairjazzfestival.org/) and film festival to the weekly knitting circle in the park, from our indie film house and renowned art museum to the free live music on Church Street on warm summer nights, we are a community of people who like to discover new things and share our passions. But mostly, we are a community that thrives on supporting each other and making everyone feel welcome.

Montclair is a big town that feels like a small town, a suburb that feels like a city and a home base that feels like a vacation.

We think you’re going to love living here.
