Crafted by AIA architect Barry Jay Kaplan with interiors by Yoshida + Zanon Design Atrium, this 5,696-square-foot Montclair home is inspired by the Bauhaus principles of form, function, unity, and simplicity while seamlessly integrating art and smart home technology. Listed by Ana Simon at Brown Harris Stevens, the 2017 home has starred in ad campaigns for several luxury brands, including Elie Tahari, Kith, and H&M.
Inside, open-plan interiors boast soaring ceilings, pale hardwood floors and walls of windows framing verdant views. On the main level, expansive living and dining areas are perfect for relaxing and entertaining alongside a fireplace, designer lighting and a backdrop of leafy trees.
In the sleek gourmet kitchen, Neff cabinetry and Silestone quartz countertops surround appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero and Bosch. An adjacent breakfast nook, bright blue prep kitchen and pantry complete the kitchen. Off the living room, a glass door reveals a sunny home office, while a mudroom, laundry room and full guest bathroom add convenience to the main level.
Five en-suite bedrooms provide plenty of room for friends and family, beginning with a main-floor guest room. Upstairs, the primary suite features walls of glass, a walk-in closet and an en suite spa bathroom with a curbless rain shower and floating double vanity. Three more secondary suites and a carpeted family room complete the upper level, while the walkout lower level features a game room and glass doors opening to the rear yard.
Indoor-outdoor living is easy, with a large deck and terraced lawn. A heated driveway and garage and a whole-house generator add comfort and ease.
