635 N Montclair Avenue

Tucked beneath the trees, with its autumnal hues, oversized front porch, and meandering gardens, this sweet Craftsman feels like a page from a storybook, with a little bit of old-world magic and a whole lot of heart. Just moments from award-winning Rosemont Elementary’s upper campus, it sits in one of those wonderfully close-knit pockets where neighbors become lifelong friends, front porch conversations still matter, and the best memories are made together. Inside, original hardwood floors, vintage glass hardware, and a whimsical mix of vintage and newer fixtures lend the home a collected charm, as though each detail has found its way here just as it should. The flow is easy, the light is heavenly, and the sunny kitchen, with its darling breakfast nook and delicate architectural details, feels made for slow mornings and lingering over one more cup of coffee. The primary bedroom offers a generous bath with double vanity, a walk-in closet, and room for a cozy seating area. The guest bedroom offers sensational privacy, with plenty of space and another wonderfully generous closet. Out back, a delightful 330 ft studio opens up a world of possibilities. A home office, an exercise retreat, an artist’s hideaway, or simply a little space of your own. With a full bath and shower, tankless water heater, and ductless mini-split, it’s a thoughtful extension of the home with plenty of independence. The important updates have been taken care of, too, including a new roof and HVAC installed in 2026, a garage mini-split added in March 2024, and a new fence in 2023. This sweet neighborhood may just be the loveliest part of all - these are exceptionally fun people who know how to turn ordinary days into lifelong memories, who show up for one another, and who make being part of this little community feel like something special. It’s the kind of place where the house draws you in, but the life you build around it is what makes you stay.
