There’s more hot housing market news in Montclair. In addition to crowded open houses, a new listing joins Montclair homes for sale — 60 Undercliff Road, listed at a whopping $5,875,000.
The 19-room mansion, built in 1929, also known as Stone Eagles or the “Mochary House,” is on the National Register of Historic Places. There are 11 bedrooms, and plenty of bathrooms (7 full/4 half).
Listing remarks:
Year-round views of NYC. Every luxury you would expect of a manse of this caliber. Full servants quarters, state of the art custom chefs kitchen. All baths done with the most exquisite stonework. The Finest Mansion in all of Montclair! Totally redone in 2006 to the highest levels that you would expect from a Manse of this magnitude!
The property is listed with Sam Joseph; according to the listing notes the taxes are $99,105 and the property was assessed for 3,046,000 (tax year 2012). There’s a carriage house, too.

I’ve always loved this home…the inside is nothing like what I imagined though. Priced way to high.
Pedro Quezada might want to look at this one.
If it sells for that much they are getting about a $90k/year tax break based on their assessment of $3,046,600.

Reminds me of this house by A.J.Davis in Tarrytown
I agree with the first poster: The inside of the home really doesn’t do the outside justice. I would have liked to see what it looked like prior to the 2006 rehab.
Agree, this should be closer to 4 bucks.
$5,875,000 for this place is still a relative bargain. A free-standing 12,000 square foot 1909 stone mansion on Riverside Drive is hoping for a $13,500,000 sale price.

If you could find a craftsmanship masterpiece like this in Mendham or Irvington on the Hudson….it would probably sell quickly for double the price…. even with the same taxes.
