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.
