Vintage Montclair Cottage
A charming 1930s cottage on a large double lot in the lush hills of Montclair! Located just minutes from popular Montclair Village and high performing Thornhill Elementary School, 273 Beauforest is a tranquil urban retreat among the trees.
This unique 2 bedroom, 1 bath property is situated on an extra-large double lot totaling 16,027sqft! The possibilities here are endless. Currently a working farm that housed goats, chickens of “Cluckingham Palace” and bees, this home can also be the source of endless inspiration as a great condo alternative, income property, or where a larger home could be built.
The home has newly refinished hardwood floors, French doors leading to a wrap-around deck from which is a perfect place to admire the hillside views, 2 sunny bedrooms and a charming kitchen with vintage sink and stove.
The level back patio features an outdoor fireplace and area for hosting meals alfresco or peaceful reflection. The 242 sqft. office/laundry/storage area downstairs features original built-in cabinets and separate entrance. Updated electrical, newer roof and whole house fan makes this one-of-a kind property both comfortable and functional.
Location here is prime: live in Montclair without contending with steep roads. 273 Beauforest is an unbelievable property ready for its next owner who can appreciate its natural beauty. Close to Top Schools, Shops/Restaurants/Farmers Market of Montclair Village, and easy access to Freeways.

Neighborhood
Tucked away in the wooded hills and winding streets above Oakland, Montclair is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mediterranean, Craftsman, and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.
The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, megamalls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Flipper’s Gourmet Burgers, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Le Bonbon, and Farmstead Wine and Cheese.
A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals throughout the year and a jazz festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
