1201 Mountain Blvd

Tucked along Mountain Blvd, this storybook cottage feels like it was lifted straight from an English hamlet—complete with gridded windows, a faux shaker roofline, and a quiet sense of charm that’s hard to replicate. Owned and cared for by a local teacher for over 40 years, the home carries a history of creativity and community. The finished lower level—once used for dance lessons—offers a rare opportunity for the next owner to reimagine the space. With the potential to connect the levels, there’s a clear path to nearly doubling the usable square footage over time. Upstairs, the home is dialed in with a “mint vintage” feel—an updated kitchen and bath that respect the home’s character while making daily life easy. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and exposed beams, giving warmth and scale to the space, while a large sliding glass door opens to the back deck and yard beyond. The front garden faces south, soaking in sunlight throughout the day—ideal for an English garden approach or a more productive urban farming setup. Out back, the yard is a blank canvas: room for a play structure, a quiet retreat, a patio for long evenings, or a space for dogs to run—easily enjoyed from the deck and kitchen window above. At street level, a one-car garage is complemented by additional bonus space below—flexible enough for a workshop, studio, potting shed, or a true separate office for uninterrupted work time. Location here is hard to beat—just two blocks to Montclair Village for coffee, dining, and everyday essentials. You also have quick access to the freeway, making this an easy home base for commuting to Silicon Valley or into San Francisco. It’s a home with a clear next chapter—move in, enjoy it as-is, and expand into it over time.
