Rumor has it that decades ago, this freestanding row house belonged to "Old Man Carr" who ran a bath tub gin joint out of the basement and sold shots out the front window for fifty cents a pop. You can feel the rich history as you are greeted by its classic brick detailing with limestone "jack arch" lintels and window sills, brick corner coins and a stamped steel cornice. This is a solid brick building, not wood frame and brick veneer. Inside, modern kitchen and baths coexist beautifully with all of the turn of the century charm. Exposed brick, high ceilings, classic details. Lovely living room, kitchen, formal dining and full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, 3 beds, a full bath and a kitchen, which is perfect for converting into primary ensuite. There is an additional ensuite in the lower level, plus a very groovy office space and workshop. Walk out to the yard. New windows, 2 year old roof. Currently zoned and set up as a two family but super easy conversion to a single family home. Such a quick stroll to Bay St train (or Glen Ridge), Glenfield Park with the new Wally Choice Community Center and all downtown Montclair has to offer.
