206 Highland Ave

Perched high above Upper Montclair, this 5-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, 1960 contemporary offers what may be the most extraordinary view of the New York City skyline in the entire region - visible from nearly every room, unobstructed, panoramic, and alive in every season. Surrounded by treetops, with the privacy and feeling of the Hollywood hills, it is a genuine sanctuary. At sunrise the skyline glows. At dusk it becomes a constellation of light. No neighboring roofline interrupts it. No future development threatens it. Inside, the home matches the view - warm, confident, and built to last. The expansive living room features a wall of windows framing the skyline and a wood-burning fireplace. A front deck and formal dining room share the same sweeping views. The kitchen, with its own eating area and adjoining family room - all with heated floors - create an easy rhythm for daily life and entertaining. The primary suite claims an entire floor of the home, offering a second wood-burning fireplace, wall of closets, en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in shower, and its own private deck. In the rear, a large bluestone patio, gardens, and another large deck - quiet, private, and entirely your own. Laundry on the bedroom level. Beautiful hardwood floors. Recessed lighting. 3-zone heat. Top floor has central A/C; mini-splits cool the rest of the home. Whole-house generator, 2-car built-in garage, irrigation. 0.8 miles to Upper Montclair train. 12 miles to Midtown.
