YOUR MONTCLAIR ESCAPE — WHERE CITY ENERGY MEETS SUBURBAN CALM

Wake up to sunlight pouring through the windows of your own private home, steps from a park with tennis courts, a community pool, and open green space. Manhattan is a 45-minute train ride away — close enough for a Broadway show, far enough to actually unwind. Welcome to your escape. This isn't a hotel. It's a home.


THE SPACE

Built in 1895 and fully renovated in 2020, 51 Cedar pairs the kind of bones new construction can't replicate with finishes that don't ask you to compromise.

Step in through the 7x19-foot screened front porch — a morning-coffee spot, an evening hangout, and overflow living space all at once. The main level flows the way a home should: a generous living room (16'5" x 12'5") open enough to actually gather in, a dining room that connects naturally, and a full 20x12-foot renovated kitchen with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a back door straight to the yard. Yes, there's space to grill. Yes, you should use it.


SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Four bedrooms across two upper floors mean everyone gets their own space. The home sleeps 6 to 8 guests comfortably — a rare find that genuinely works for a multigenerational trip, a group getaway, or business travelers who need real room to spread out. No one is bunking on a pull-out and pretending it's fine.

Second floor: two well-proportioned bedrooms (the larger over 150 sq ft with ample closets), a beautifully renovated full bath, and a bonus room that flexes as a home office, reading nook, or oversized walk-in closet.

Third floor: two more bedrooms, including a standout primary bedroom at nearly 254 sq ft (14'5" x 17'5") — room for a king, a sitting area, and then some. The second third-floor bedroom is equally substantial at 12' x 14'5".

BED CONFIGURATION: [EDIT BEFORE PUBLISHING — list exact beds per room, e.g. "Bedroom 1: King | Bedroom 2: Queen | Bedroom 3: Queen | Bedroom 4: Two Twins." Vrbo guests filter and book on this, so accuracy matters.]


BATHROOMS — PLEASE NOTE

Two full bathrooms: one on the second floor and one in the finished basement. There is no bathroom on the third floor or the 1st floor, so guests in the two third-floor bedrooms use the second-floor bath one flight down. We mention this up front so your group can plan room assignments accordingly.


THE FINISHED BASEMENT

Don't overlook what's downstairs. The finished lower level adds a full layer of living — a cozy family room made for movie nights, game days, or a quiet retreat when everyone else is upstairs — plus the second full bath, a dedicated laundry room, and ample storage. It's the bonus square footage that turns a comfortable stay into a genuinely spacious one.


COMFORT & CONNECTIVITY

Ductless mini-split AC handles the main and second floors, with ceiling fans and supplemental window units in the bedrooms to keep things cool all summer. Heating is a single efficient system.

Staying connected is effortless: Verizon FiOS Gigabit Internet throughout — symmetrical speeds, no throttling, no shared bandwidth. Work remotely, stream in every room, and keep everyone occupied while you decompress.


THE BACKYARD & OUTDOOR SPACES

Out back, a semi-private yard with tall hedges gives you just enough seclusion to feel like it's yours. Fire up the grill, let the kids loose, or settle in with a drink as the neighborhood winds down. Up front, the screened porch adds a second outdoor dimension — shaded, breezy, and hard to leave once you've found your seat.


PARKING

A private driveway fits 2 to 3 vehicles — pull in, unload, you're home. Street parking is available for additional guests. No apps, no circling the block.


THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Montclair is a town people seek out, not stumble into — walkable, arts-forward, genuinely diverse, and consistently ranked among the best places to live in New Jersey.

Nishuane Park sits directly across the street with tennis courts, a community pool, and open green space. Coffee shops, groceries, and some of Montclair's best dining are an easy walk away, and Eagle Rock Reservation — a short drive off — offers sweeping Manhattan skyline views. The restaurant scene punches well above its zip code, and the Montclair Art Museum, independent bookshops, weekend farmers markets, and live music venues give the town a real identity.


GETTING AROUND

Bay Street Station is a 15-minute walk away; from there, NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line reaches Midtown Manhattan in roughly 45 minutes, direct and no transfers. Prefer the bus? Stops are a 3-minute walk with direct NYC routes. For drivers, Route 3 and I-280 are close — Newark Liberty Airport is under 20 minutes and the Jersey Shore within 90. Close enough to make the city effortless; far enough to make coming home feel like something.


CHECK-IN & ESSENTIALS

Check-in: [self check-in via smart lock / lockbox — confirm and edit]
Check-in time: [e.g. 3:00 PM] | Check-out: [e.g. 11:00 AM]
Safety: smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and a fire extinguisher on site.
Good to know: this is a three-story 1895 home with a finished basement, so there are stairs between every level — worth noting for guests with mobility needs.


HOUSE RULES

No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, including the porch and backyard. Pets considered case-by-case — please inquire before booking. Quiet hours and neighbor consideration are expected; this is a real residential neighborhood with people who love living here.


THIS IS THE ONE

Four bedrooms. Two full baths. A finished basement. A screened porch. A private backyard. Gigabit internet. Space for up to 8 guests — together, or spread out enough that everyone finds their own corner. A park across the street, Manhattan 45 minutes from the front door, and renovation done to the standard where guests stop noticing what's missing and start noticing what's there.
