Property Description

Transparent price. Tucked along a quiet road low in Montclair, 233 Capricorn reveals itself gently, more discovered than announced. A cottage at heart, the home is framed by landscaping that softens the approach and creates an immediate sense of privacy and calm. Dappled light filters through established trees, gardens unfold in layers, and the house feels rooted. Inside, the main home offers three bedrooms and two baths arranged with an ease that supports daily living. The scale is intimate yet highly functional, with rooms that connect naturally and carry a quiet warmth. Living and dining spaces feel comfortable rather than oversized, balancing charm with real-world practicality. A separate 205-square-foot apartment at the front of the property meaningfully expands the footprint. With its own bathroom, kitchen, and living area, this self-contained space is ideal as a dedicated office, guest quarters, creative studio, or private retreat. Positioned just apart from the main residence, it offers flexibility and independence while preserving the home’s cozy proportions. Throughout, windows look onto greenery instead of neighboring homes. Light shifts softly across the interiors, and the atmosphere remains grounded and calm — a property that feels both personal and deeply livable.
