The Treehouse — Montclair's Most Enchanting Address. Some homes simply feel different the moment you arrive. Set on one of Montclair's most coveted tree-lined streets, this 1937 residence — affectionately known as The Treehouse — offers something increasingly rare in the East Bay: genuine serenity, surrounded by nature, without sacrificing a single convenience. Perched on a generous, verdant lot, the home's open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas flow effortlessly to a wraparound deck through two sets of sliding glass doors — dissolving the boundary between interior comfort and the lush, canopied landscape beyond. Original hardwood floors warm every room, while solar tubes draw natural light deep into the heart of the home. The updated kitchen is a considered composition of white shaker cabinetry, gray countertops, and marble subway tile — anchored by a corner window that frames the garden like a living painting. Two light-filled bedrooms on the main level offer treetop perspectives and quiet repose. Downstairs, a private suite with French doors to a secluded deck provides exceptional flexibility — ideal for guests, a home office, or extended family — complete with an updated ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower and refined modern finishes. Outside, an expansive rear deck, two discreet storage sheds, and a masonry retaining wall with a lit staircase complete this thoughtfully maintained property. A garage accommodates storage or a small vehicle. Recent improvements include a fully fenced yard (2023), new roof (2022), new furnace (2023), and new electrical main panel (2026) — offering the peace of mind that comes with a home genuinely cared for. Moments from Montclair Village, parks, top schools, and commuter routes. For those who believe a home should feel like a refuge — The Treehouse delivers.
