253 Midland Avenue

Set on one of Montclair’s most storied streets, this Victorian residence seamlessly blends historic character with modern sophistication. Just steps from Edgemont Park, top-rated schools, Watchung Plaza, and both Downtown and Upper Montclair, it offers a lifestyle defined by convenience, charm, and community. The wraparound front porch invites morning coffee and neighborly conversation, while a screened rear sun porch flows from the great room to the manicured backyard and resort-style pool, complete with a landscaped pool deck, colorful underwater lighting for evening entertaining, and a recently updated design. A 4-car garage doubles as a pool house, while still leaving two parking spaces available inside and additional driveway parking for guests. Inside, light-filled rooms showcase thoughtful updates including custom lighting, renovated bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and 4-zone AC. The primary suite features a dressing area and a custom walk-in closet, easily converted back into a sixth bedroom. Additional bedrooms on the second floor include one with a luxurious soaking tub, while the top floor offers even more bedrooms and a full bath. The unfinished basement provides flexible space for media, fitness, or play. Every feature has been designed for effortless comfort and elegant living. Adding to its distinction, this home sits directly on Montclair’s cherished parade route, offering front-row views of one of the town’s most beloved traditions.
