About 179 Montague Pl
Design-forward c.1913 Victorian offering 5 BRs, 2.2 baths and an extraordinary collaboration of architecture, interiors and landscape design. A whole-home project by Jenny J. Norris Interiors was followed by architectural + interior work by Cristina Ioana Graff, AIA/Graff Guild, creating richly layered spaces that honor the home's original character. The showpiece kitchen features custom Brooklyn Millwork cabinetry + island, Cle Tile backsplash and hand-applied Venetian plaster by Jersey Ice Cream Co. The expansive living room pairs custom Graff Guild built-ins with a WBFP surrounded in teal Devol tile + Farrow & Ball finishes. The renovated primary bath features an imported Lusso Stone vanity, custom cabinetry, Zia Tile + RH fixtures. Outdoors, Neil Chambers/Chambers Design created naturalistic, meadow-inspired gardens, custom swing + thoughtfully designed front landscape. Extensive infrastructure includes Mitsubishi zoned heat-pump HVAC/central air, whole-house insulation + hybrid heat-pump water heater. Located in one of South Orange's most requested neighborhoods, known for its flat streets ideal for biking and proximity to schools, just .6 mile to the NYC train with an approx. 30-minute rush-hour ride. A remarkably curated home where historic architecture, exceptional design + everyday livability meet.
