"Dream With Your Eyes Open"

72 South Mountain Avenue, Montclair

"Let yourself glide up the driveway framed by stately trees to this extraordinary Greek Revival Victorian estate with its wide welcoming front porch articulated by fluted classical columns.  Lovingly and meticulously restored by its current owners, this superb 1860 residence is the only know extant house of a series built along the hillside by renowned architect Henry Nason.  The exterior is characterized by symmetry, good proportions and a simplicity of design with peaked gables, bracketed eaves, the repeated use of narrow arched windows and a handsome slate roof that bestow a sense of dignity and purity to this fine home.

Step into a spectacular through entry hall leading out to a secluded patio surrounded by lovely rhododendron and azaleas.  Grace, comfort and elegance pervade each bright room with soaring twelve foot ceilings from the deep living room with its handsome fireplace and bay windows to the walnut paneled dining room with beautiful tiled fireplace and exquisite stained glass window to the front and rear parlors with late nineteenth century Italianate modifications each with their own charming fireplaces.  Upstairs, you will feel the continuing charm of this unique home in the sunlit nursery, the spacious bedrooms with fireplaces, the quaint alcoves, the romantic balcony off the master bedroom with an intimate view of the private garden below.  The magnificent carriage house with its wonderful cupola has a remarkable sunken living room with an expansive fireplace and wall of built-in bookcases."
