CATSKILLS STATE OF MIND. UPPER MONTCLAIR ADDRESS. A neighborhood park in front, woods and a babbling brook below out back: this bungalow brings a little weekend escape to everyday life. Start with coffee on the deck. Come home to leafy views and the kind of quiet that lets your shoulders drop. Inside, leaded windows, skylights and a wood-burning fireplace give this charming home its character. A generous entry welcomes everything from muddy boots to cocktail hour, while the formal dining room invites dinners that linger. The kitchen’s gourmet stove is ready for your farmers market haul. The flexible first floor offers two distinct bonus spaces: a rear room with separate entrance overlooking the deck and woods for work, art or afternoon reading, plus a separate room ideal for guests, with a full bath nearby. Upstairs, two bedrooms feel tucked into the treetops, each with a cedar closet, and share a second full bath. A large unfinished basement offers a blank canvas for whatever you’re dreaming up.

A rustic nook beneath the garage holds promise for gardening pursuits. Newer furnace and water heater add practical appeal. Blocks to the Montclair Heights NYC-bound train and near Upper Montclair’s shops and restaurants, this woodland hideaway keeps you connected while feeling wonderfully removed. City days. Fireside nights. Your own little Catskills.

Montclair, NJ.
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 a minor-league baseball stadium.

From Montclair’s world-class jazz festival 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.

CHARM AT FIRST HELLO. Flower boxes, a garden path and a storybook roofline welcome you to this Craftsman Bungalow. Full of personality, tucked among the trees and ready for your own way of being home.

A LITTLE VISION. A LOT OF CHARM. Backview: This vintage two-story garage on the left is ready for a tune-up and a little imagination. Below, a rustic, earth-floored garden cellar opens toward the woods, with potential for potting supplies, garden tools and your next woodland project.

JUST IMAGINE! Deck railings virtually replaced by glass.

THIS IS YOUR BACKYARD. Imagine making a little time outdoors part of every day. Coffee among the ferns, a chapter beneath the trees, the brook providing the soundtrack. Right behind the house, a woodland retreat invites you to put down your phone and stay awhile. A little Catskills. A lot to come home to.

COME IN. EXHALE. A wood-lined ceiling and a ribbon of skylights make the entrance feel like the beginning of your weekend, whatever day it happens to be. See floor plans for generous dimensions.

LET YOUR PERSONALITY IN. Warm wood, garden views and room for a collected piece or two make this entrance a lovely place to begin.

GREEN SPACES! Love the little park across the street!

SETTLE IN AND STAY AWHILE. The living room pairs a wood-burning fireplace with an easy connection to the dining room. Start with drinks here; let dinner take its time or order from one of Montclair's many fabulous restaurants!

ROOM FOR CONVERSATION. Pull up a chair, put on some music (maybe “Montclair, NJ 1956” by Elijah Fox) and let the evening unfold. The living room feels connected to the rest of the house without losing its cozy character.

CHARACTER WORTH KEEPING. A paneled ceiling, wood floors and leaded-glass windows give the living room the warmth that makes an older home so appealing.

YOUR FAVORITE CORNER, FOUND. A comfortable chair, a good book and the fireplace close by. Some of the best plans involve staying home.

MAKE DINNER AN OCCASION. Rich blue walls set the scene for candlelight, a favorite recipe and the people who always stay for one more story.

FROM KITCHEN TO TABLE. The dining room sits conveniently beside the kitchen, ready for everything from a quick supper to the dinner you have been meaning to host.

A LITTLE REVEAL. French doors frame the family room beyond, drawing your eye through the house to a wall of green.

MOVIE NIGHT, MEET WOODLAND VIEWS. Built-ins anchor the family room, while broad windows bring the trees into the picture. Choose the screen or the scenery.

SPACE THAT ADAPTS. Keep the family room for lounging, or add a quality sleeper sofa for a private guest retreat with an adjoining full bath. A flexible first floor with plenty of possibilities.

A COMMUTE MEASURED IN STEPS. This separate office has leafy views and its own exterior entrance beside the deck. A place to focus, then step outside between calls. Or will you make it a bedroom?

GIVE YOUR WORKDAY A BETTER OUTLOOK. Trade the blank wall for a window into the trees. Your desk deserves a view, too.

YOUR DAILY DOSE OF OUTSIDE. Breakfast on the deck, a little afternoon reading, dinner as the light softens. Time outdoors is easy to make part of the day when it begins right here.

VIRTUALLY REIMAGINED! So you can imagine the possibilities! Deck ballustrades virtually replaced with glass.

TREE HOUSE views, ground level convenience!

BACK DECK - Right off the Office/Bedroom - The perfect "Teams" background!

A SPOT FOR YOUR OWN ROUTINE. A small table for writing, a landing place for the day's essentials or a perch for planning what comes next. Useful little spaces make a house personal.

BRING HOME SOMETHING DELICIOUS. Warm wood cabinetry and windows above the counter set the scene for unpacking your market finds and deciding what's for dinner.

FOR THE COOK WHO LIKES TO IMPROVISE. A substantial range, generous cabinetry and a kitchen with character. Follow a recipe or see where the evening takes you.

A FULL BATH, RIGHT WHERE IT HELPS. The first-floor bath adds flexibility for guests and everyday life, with floral wallpaper and warm metal details bringing charm to the practical.

A LITTLE BREATHING ROOM UPSTAIRS. A bright landing with a place to pause and closet storage close at hand. Even the in-between spaces feel considered.

KEEP THE MORNING SIMPLE. A second full bath serves the two upstairs bedrooms, keeping daily routines on the same level as your retreat.

TUCKED INTO THE TREETOPS. Leafy windows and a tucked-away nook give this upstairs bedroom its own gentle rhythm. Sleep, read, recharge.

WAKE UP TO SOMETHING LOVELY. An arched window frames the trees, giving this bedroom a wonderfully treehouse-like feeling. Both upstairs bedrooms have cedar closets.

YES, THE 2nd FLOOR STORAGE IS AMAZING. But could a dormer and addition turn this space into your future primary suite? Explore the possibilities for a bedroom retreat with an ensuite bath, subject to plans and approvals.

BRING YOUR IDEAS DOWNSTAIRS. A large unfinished basement offers a blank canvas for whatever you're dreaming up, with room to organize tools, supplies and hobbies.

ALL THAT MONTCLAIR ENERGY. YOUR OWN WOODLAND EXHALE. Dining, arts and town life when you want them; trees and a quieter rhythm when you come home. Patton Place brings the two together.

A HOME WITH ITS OWN POINT OF VIEW. A distinctive roofline and Belgian block paving give this Craftsman Bungalow an unmistakable presence. The garden does the welcoming.

A LITTLE PARK. A LOVELY PLACE TO LAND. Patton Place curves around a leafy neighborhood green on a quiet Upper Montclair street. Mountain Avenue station, with service to NYC & Hoboken, is four blocks away.

THE SOUNDTRACK IS ALREADY HERE. Well below the house, the Second River meanders through the woods, bringing the gentle sound of moving water to your backyard retreat. Pull up a chair. Let the day slow down. This home is NOT in a flood zone and flood insurance is NOT required.

MORE ROOM TO PLAY. Brookdale Park adds tennis, open lawns, trails and room for an energetic afternoon to your Montclair routine. Pack a picnic, bring a racquet or simply enjoy the green.

YOUR UPTOWN ROUTINE STARTS HERE. Under a mile away, Upper Montclair serves up restaurants, coffee, bakery treats, chocolate, flowers and your pick for the best fried chicken. Pick up something delicious on the way home.

LEAVE ROOM FOR SOMETHING SWEET. Make a bakery stop part of your Uptown ritual. A treat for the trip home, something to share later - assuming it makes it that far.

A LITTLE RETAIL EXPLORING. Downtown Montclair adds another layer of shops and discoveries to your day. Find something for yourself, something for the house or a gift you weren't expecting to buy.

TAKE THE AFTERNOON OFF. Church Street invites a little browsing, a coffee break and lunch that stretches longer than planned. Montclair gives you plenty of reasons to go out.

MAKE ART PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. The Montclair Art Museum adds another creative destination to a town with plenty of cultural curiosity. Leave time to look, then bring a little inspiration home.

HOUSE HUNTING, WITH A PLOT TWIST. The 2026 Montclair Film Festival runs October 16–25. Book a screening while you're here and make a day of discovering the town. Archival festival photograph from 2024.

BIG COMMUNITY ENERGY. The “World’s Biggest Game of Catch” brought people together at the Yogi Berra Museum in 2025. Nearby Montclair State University adds campus events and Red Hawks game days to the possibilities beyond your backyard.

GO OUT FOR THE MUSIC. COME HOME FOR THE QUIET. Montclair's jazz festival captures the town's lively, creative spirit. At Patton Place, your evening can end with a very different soundtrack: the woods.

CITY PLANS? YOU’RE CONNECTED. Manhattan is just 13 miles away, with train and bus options nearby. Routes 3 and 46 and the Garden State Parkway make trips beyond town easy. Regional skyline photograph; not a view from the property.

THE BALANCE YOU CAME FOR. Upper Montclair's evening glow, the city's lights beyond and your own quieter corner to return to. Neighborhood aerial; not a view from the property.
