Step into a world of refined elegance at Daybreak, a meticulously restored estate offering eight bedrooms, eight full baths, and one half bath, nestled on 1.46 acres of lush grounds. Located in Montclair's most desirable neighborhood, this prestigious home provides breathtaking views of New York City from every level. The grand great room is the centerpiece of this home, featuring a two-story indoor pool and spa beneath soaring 23-foot ceilings. Triple-pane, accordion-style windows surround the pool, allowing for a seamless transition between an outdoor oasis in summer and an indoor retreat in winter. Adjacent to the great room, the solarium offers a peaceful space for morning coffee or quiet work. Designed for entertaining, the formal dining room seats 16 and leads into the custom SieMatic kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, a large island, an induction cooktop, and Dornbracht fixtures. The restored butler's pantry adds charm and convenience. The second floor hosts eight expansive bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and cozy fireplace. The primary suite offers privacy, a soaking tub for two, and large windows. The secondary bedrooms are equally luxurious. Notable amenities include a 40'x20' mineral pool, a spa for eight, an entertainment room, and a four-car garage. The estate also includes a self-contained carriage house, a snow-melt system and a restored greenhouse.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
