116 Forest St, Montclair, NJ 07042

This Montclair two-family home is currently being used as a single-family residence, but it has the layout and separate entry points to restore its two-unit configuration. The property includes two front porches and a second-story deck, along with two-zone CAC and separate utilities. Unit 1 is arranged on the first floor with one bedroom, a living room with fireplace, a full bath, and an eat-in kitchen with doors to the front porch and backyard, plus access to a full, finished walk-out basement that includes a half bath, recreation room, utilities, storage, and laundry serving both units. Unit 2 is accessed from a separate first-floor entrance and offers two to three levels of living space, including two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a full bath, an office, and additional third-floor storage with a walk-in closet and skylight that could be used as a fourth bedroom.

Set on a large lot, the home offers a spacious yard with a garden and room for outdoor use, along with a storage shed and blacktop parking for four cars. The location is in the Walnut Street District, known for its village-like atmosphere and dining and shopping options, with nearby access to the Walnut Train Station to NYC. The town pool and the Walnut Street Saturday Farmer’s Market are also close by.

For tenants, buyers, or owners seeking flexibility, this property supports multiple living arrangements through its distinct unit access, shared-function basement setup, and the ability to reestablish the two-family plan by closing the space between entrances. Off-street parking for four cars and the sizable yard are practical benefits in the area.
