Property Description

Once home to a classical cellist, 5949 Alhambra carries a rare, magical quality—where architecture, light, and inspiration meet in the heart of Montclair. This 1966 Mid-Century Modern welcomes you into an open concept great room beneath a soaring Douglas Fir beamed ceiling, its massive historic timbers stripped and restored to original beauty, while sliding glass doors frame a verdant canyon and lead out to the deck beyond. The iconic MCM cone fireplace sets the style and tone for cozy nights in, its sculptural silhouette an instant conversation piece. The effortlessly chic chef's kitchen has been fully remodeled with a high-end Blue Star gas range, Dekton countertops, and striking, abundant cabinetry. Two bedrooms and a thoughtfully renovated bath occupy the main level, while an open stairwell with steel railing and walnut handrail leads down to the primary suite, which retreats to the lower level for privacy—its sumptuous en-suite bath finished in floor-to-ceiling tile with a walk-in shower and a floating double vanity. A light filled family room with separate entrance and laundry offers a generous flexible space to meet a multitude of needs. The special sound absorbing insulation in the ceiling make it ideal for musicians, a media room, and your noisy pack alike… Multi-zone radiant heat and rich hardwood floors throughout are just some of the everyday luxuries you'll proudly enjoy, while a tankless water heater, upgraded electrical, seismic upgrades, and an 8kw Generac generator offer peace of mind that allow you to move right in with confidence. Step outside to canyon views from the upper deck or descend to the lower patio's green space where a perfect spot awaits the veggie garden you've been yearning for. Two blocks from Montclair Park and just minutes to Thornhill Elementary, Thornhill Coffee House, Payakk, and the shops and restaurants of Montclair Village, this pristine, move-in-ready home invites you to nourish your soul.
