About this home
Tucked away in the desirable St. Cloud neighborhood of West Orange, this updated custom-built home offers an exceptional blend of space, comfort, and flexibility. Much larger than it appears from the street, the home's expansive 4,494 sq. ft. of livable space (including the finished walkout basement) and thoughtfully designed floor plan easily accommodate a wide range of living styles. Bright and airy interiors feature hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a dual-sided gas fireplace, oversized bay and picture windows, and a new roof (2022). The stylish eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and LG stainless steel appliances including a new gas range (2026) and flows seamlessly into the dining area with sliders to a spacious deck. Two first-floor bedrooms and a full bath offer valuable flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or private living quarters. A private rear staircase leads to the primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath. Upstairs also includes three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a roomy family room, and a large laundry area. The finished walk-out basement adds even more usable space with new 2026 flooring, a half bath, and access to a private patio. This bonus level is ideal for recreation, fitness or media room. Located in a top-rated school district near shopping, dining, nature reservations, transit, major highways, an in-town Midtown Direct Jitney and just 30 minutes from Newark Airport, 39 Lessing Road truly has it all.
St. Cloud, located between Eagle Rock Reservation and the Upper Montclair village center, is a residential and historic Llewellyn Park neighborhood with winding lanes and wooded slopes. Its character concentrates along the Prospect Avenue corridor near the Eagle Rock Reservation entrances, where stone walls, canopy trees, and a quiet, carriage-road feel set the tone. Large, early-20th-century homes and landscaped lots define the streetscape, with frequent glimpses of the Watchung ridgeline. The nearby Presby Memorial Iris Gardens functions as a seasonal cultural landmark, while the Montclair Art Museum and Wellmont Theater anchor arts and live performance close by. Parks and ridge-top overlooks shape daily routines, and the setting reads as private and pastoral without feeling remote.
