-3-story home
-2nd floor is spacious with 2 bedrooms (King & Full Bed), full kitchen with dishwasher, full bathroom and a dining room.

This combined reservation includes the entire second- and third-floor guest accommodations, making it a great option for larger families, groups, business travelers, wedding guests, extended stays, and relocations.

Together, the two apartments offer four sleeping areas, two full kitchens, two bathrooms, multiple living spaces, dining areas, and the flexibility for guests to gather together or enjoy time on their own.

Second-Floor Apartment

The second floor offers spacious, comfortable living with historic character and modern conveniences.

It includes:

King bed

Full-size bed

Large living room with sectional sofa

Full dining room

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher

In-unit washer and dryer

Wi-Fi and TV

Premium linens

Generous living and gathering space

This floor is especially well suited for shared meals and time together, with a full dining room and larger common living area.

Third-Floor Apartment

The private third-floor apartment is approximately 740 sq. ft. and has a more intimate, loft-like feel.

It includes:

King bed

Queen bed

Twin daybed

Eat-in kitchen

Wi-Fi and TV

Bamboo linens

Compact full bathroom with separate dressing area

Distinctive Victorian architectural details, including angles, arches and rooflines

The third-floor kitchen is compact and designed for everyday cooking. Dining seating is currently available for four guests, with a small table for two and two additional counter stools.

Please Know Before Booking

This is a historic Victorian home with stairs and architectural character rather than a modern hotel-style property.

The third-floor apartment requires stair access. Guests first climb approximately 15 outdoor steps to the private guest entrance, followed by approximately 18 indoor steps, separated by landings, to reach the third floor. There is no elevator.

The third-floor bathroom is compact, and some rooms have angled ceilings and architectural lines typical of the upper floor of a Victorian home.

Air conditioning is provided by individual window units rather than central air. These units cool the apartments effectively, but some normal operating sound should be expected.

Heating

The home is heated by a traditional radiator system controlled by one central thermostat, which I manage.

As is common with radiator heat in older homes, guests may occasionally hear normal steam or radiator sounds. Temperatures can also vary somewhat from room to room, so one space may sometimes feel warmer or cooler than another.

I do my best to accommodate temperature preferences whenever possible. During cooler months, space heaters are available for guests who prefer a warmer room.

I typically lower the heat somewhat in the evening to support a more comfortable sleeping environment, but please let me know if you need an adjustment and I will do my best to accommodate you.

A Distinctive Garden Setting

The property has a landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. The garden includes established and native-style plantings and is part of the character of the property.

Location

The home is ideally located for enjoying Montclair and visiting New York City. Guests can walk to nearby restaurants, cafés, shops, grocery stores, cultural attractions, and public transportation. Midtown Manhattan is approximately 30 minutes away by train.

Hosting Style

I live on the premises and am available if guests need assistance, while also respecting their privacy and independence.

I prepare the apartments the way I would want to find a place when traveling myself: clean, comfortable, welcoming, and cared for with kindness and attention.

The combined second- and third-floor reservation is especially well suited for groups who want to stay close together while still having the benefit of two kitchens, two bathrooms, separate living areas, and room to spread out.

Other Details to Note
I want guests to know what to expect so they can decide whether the property is a good fit before booking.

Stairs and Access
This is a historic Victorian home with multiple levels and no elevator.

Guests access the property by approximately 15 outdoor steps. The second-floor apartment is reached by interior stairs, and the third-floor apartment requires an additional flight of approximately 18 indoor steps separated by landings.

Please consider the stair access carefully if anyone in your group has mobility limitations, is traveling with heavy luggage, or prefers accommodations without stairs.

Air Conditioning
The home does not have central air conditioning. Cooling is provided by individual window air-conditioning units. They cool the apartments effectively, but guests should expect some normal operating sound while the units are running.

Heating
The home is heated by a traditional radiator system controlled by one central thermostat, which I manage.

As is common with radiator heat in older homes, guests may occasionally hear normal steam or radiator sounds. Temperatures can also vary somewhat from room to room, so one space may sometimes feel warmer or cooler than another.

I do my best to accommodate temperature preferences whenever possible. During cooler months, space heaters are available for guests who prefer a warmer room.

I typically lower the heat somewhat in the evening to support a more comfortable sleeping environment, but please let me know if you need an adjustment and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Historic Home Features
Because this is a Victorian home, some spaces—particularly on the third floor—have architectural angles, arches, rooflines, and room proportions that are different from modern construction.

The third-floor bathroom is also compact. Please review the photos carefully so you are comfortable with the layout and style before booking.

Dogs on the Property
My two rescue dogs live with me on the property. They are generally well supervised and are not allowed to bark continuously, but guests may occasionally hear them respond to outside sounds.

They sometimes join in when they hear fire engines or ambulance sirens, although I redirect them quickly.

If occasional dog sounds would significantly disturb your stay, this property may not be the best match for you.

Private Areas
The gated backyard and front porch are private areas and are not available for guest access at any time.

Please do not enter through the backyard gates or come onto the front porch, as these areas are part of my private living space.

Groceries and Arrival Convenience
If you would like groceries available for your stay, you are welcome to place an online order and coordinate the delivery time with me.

Depending on the arrangement, I may also be able to assist with receiving or putting away groceries before your arrival. Additional fees may apply for special requests or services.

Coffee and Tea
Please feel free to let me know your preferences for morning coffee or tea, including milk or cream, and I will do my best to help make your arrival comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Blair

Host profile image
I have lived in this area my entire life. My family roots are in a nearby working-class community shaped by Irish, Scottish and Polish immigrants in the early 1900s, and Montclair has long been part of the area I call home.

Today, I live here with my two rescue dogs and truly enjoy everything this community has to offer.

I love learning, traveling, going to the beach, music, dancing, gardening, swimming, cooking, meeting new people and helping others.

What I enjoy most about hosting is the people. Over the years, I have welcomed guests from around the world who are here for all kinds of reasons—to celebrate happy occasions, visit family and friends, work, relocate, or simply enjoy the area. I believe people bring their own energy and stories into a home, and I feel genuinely grateful when guests choose to stay here.

My goal is to offer more than just a place to sleep. I want guests to feel comfortable, welcomed and cared for, while also having the privacy and independence to enjoy their stay in their own way.

Why they chose this property

I was originally drawn to Montclair because of its long-standing commitment to diversity and its sense of community. When I bought this home in 1997, I wanted to raise my then elementary-school-age son in a place that embraced difference and offered a rich, connected environment.

I also love Montclair's location. It offers easy access to New York City, Newark Airport, the Jersey Shore, and even the mountains, farms and small towns that make New Jersey so varied.

Over the years, it has been exciting to watch Montclair grow into such a vibrant and highly desirable community. The town offers an abundance of restaurants, cafés, cultural events, live entertainment, shopping, and the Montclair Art Museum, along with several lively business districts.

One of the things I appreciate most about my home is how walkable the location is. Guests can reach many restaurants, shops, grocery stores, entertainment options and public transportation on foot, which makes staying here especially convenient.

For me, Montclair offers a rare combination: the energy and amenities of a lively town, the charm of an established residential community, and convenient access to New York City and so much more.

What makes this property unique

What makes Chez Sherry unique is that it offers the warmth and character of a real historic home with the flexibility and privacy of separate guest apartments.

The property is a beautifully maintained Victorian home with original architectural details, individual character, and thoughtfully furnished spaces rather than a standardized hotel feel. Guests can reserve the second- or third-floor apartment separately as a one- or two-bedroom stay, or larger groups can reserve both apartments together.

The location is another major advantage. Guests can walk to restaurants, cafés, shopping, cultural attractions, groceries, and public transportation, while still enjoying the feel of an established residential neighborhood.

The property also has a distinctive landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. It has become part of the personality of the home and is something many guests and neighbors especially enjoy.

Perhaps most importantly, this is not an absentee-run rental. I live on the property, have been hosting for more than a decade, and take great pride in preparing each apartment with the same care I would want when traveling myself. Guests have privacy and independence, but help is nearby when they need it.

Chez Sherry is best suited for guests who appreciate a home with history, personality, comfort, convenience, and a more personal style of hospitality.
