Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a recent high-end renovation featuring premium materials such as soapstone counters, solid oak floors, and hand-shaped ceramic tiles. Despite the 1968 build date, the interior and exterior finishes are in mint, move-in-ready condition, meeting the criteria for a recent renovation under 5 years old.
The home features high-quality, artisanal finishes including soapstone countertops, solid oak flooring, and hand-shaped ceramic tiles, offering a refined and durable aesthetic that surpasses standard builder-grade flips.
Multiple decks and a level garden bordered by a natural stream create a serene, tree-shrouded sanctuary that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Situated just minutes from Montclair Village and only 0.25 miles from the top-rated Thornhill Elementary School, the property offers a perfect balance of secluded retreat and urban convenience.

At 1,485 square feet for a three-bedroom layout, the interior proportions may feel compact for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or larger secondary bedrooms.
While the local elementary school is highly rated, the assigned middle and high schools carry significantly lower ratings, which may be a consideration for families planning for long-term education.
433 Capricorn is guided by a quiet confidence, where thoughtful proportions and everyday comfort shape the experience as much as the architecture itself. Natural light moves gracefully through the interiors from morning to evening, while an easy connection between rooms creates spaces that feel welcoming, generous, and deeply at ease. The recent renovation was not one of reinvention but of refinement. Materials were selected for the richness they acquire over time and the pleasure of living with them: soapstone counters that develop a distinctive patina, solid oak floors that bring warmth underfoot, and hand-shaped ceramic tile in the primary bath, where subtle variations in texture reveal the touch of the maker. Solid birch doors throughout continue that thoughtful palette, reinforcing a sense of craftsmanship, continuity, and quiet permanence. The relationship between the house and its setting is equally considered. A deck spanning the full width of the main level dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, while upstairs, both bedrooms open onto a second deck suspended among the trees. Below, exterior stairs descend to a level garden bordered by the gentle movement of a natural stream - a secluded landscape that feels less designed than discovered. It is an environment that invites slow mornings and long conversations. Despite its sense of retreat, the home remains closely connected to the life of Montclair. The village, with its cafés, independent shops, restaurants, and weekend Farmers' Market, is just minutes away, making it possible to move easily between the energy of the community and the quiet rhythm of home. It is this rare balance between connection and sanctuary that gives this home its enduring appeal.
