About this home
A rare opportunity to own a storied Montclair landmark, this magnificent Second Empire residence offers eight bedrooms, 2.2 baths, and four expansive levels of living space. Built in 1896 by Starr J. Murphy special counsel to John D. Rockefeller and a prominent civic leader who cut the ribbon at the opening of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad connecting Montclair to NYC this home remained in the Murphy/Doubleday family until 1972. The current owner, only the third steward, has lovingly maintained the property since 1981. Architectural highlights include the iconic mansard roof, Palladian windows, and eight bay windows one in every room on the first and second floors filling the home with light. Exquisite Georgia Hearts of Pine flooring throughout. Four fireplaces, generous closets on the second and third floors, and a basement with 9-foot ceilings enhance both charm and functionality. Enjoy porches on the front and both sides, plus a rear deck with hot tub and seasonal views of the New York City skyline. Thoughtful updates include a new roof with copper gutters and EPDM flat roofs (2022), replaced skylight (2022), gas furnace (2012), 200-amp electric service (2015), and an exterior 240V EV charger. Ductless split system offer cooling in summer and an additional heat source. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street near Montclair's vibrant town center, schools and NYC transportation, this historically significant home has been featured on local walking tours and is truly one of a kind....
