336 Mountain Ave, Westfield NJ — History Restored, Ready for Its Next Chapter

By Galina Kaplan | April 26, 2026

There are Victorian homes, and then there are Victorian homes that have actually been done right.

336 Mountain Ave is the second kind. It's a property that kept everything worth keeping -- the wraparound porch, the stained glass, the original woodwork, the turret -- and rebuilt everything else from the ground up. New electrical. New plumbing. New kitchen. New primary suite. HardiePlank siding. The bones are 100 years old. The systems are brand new.

It's coming to market next week at $1,900,000, and I want you to see it before it's officially live.

The First Thing You Notice

Before you even open the door, this house stops you. The wraparound porch, the turret, the pink flowering trees in bloom -- it photographs beautifully, but standing in front of it is something else entirely.

The front door opens into a grand foyer that immediately tells you what kind of house this is. Original woodwork. Stained glass windows catching the afternoon light. A staircase with turned spindles that hasn't been touched -- because it didn't need to be.

The Tiffany-style pendant in the entry hall, the oval stained glass inserts in the windows -- these aren't reproductions. They're original to the house, and they've been preserved. That matters. A lot of renovation projects gut everything and start over. This one was thoughtful about what to keep.

The Kitchen Is the Heart of This Home

If the foyer tells you about the history, the kitchen tells you about the life you'd actually live here.

It's a full chef's kitchen: Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, custom soft-close cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a coffee bar with a wine fridge. The centerpiece is an 11-foot waterfall island that anchors the whole space. It's the kind of kitchen that makes you want to host.

The tray ceiling with LED cove lighting gives the kitchen a warmth that most renovations don't manage to pull off -- it feels elevated but not cold. The textured tile backsplash, the brass hardware, the globe pendants -- every detail is considered.

Living Spaces That Actually Live Well

The living room has a wood-burning fireplace with the original surround: green tile, rich mahogany mantel, oval mirror. French doors open onto the wraparound porch. The hardwood floors run throughout. It's the kind of room that's formal enough to impress and comfortable enough to use every day.

The dining room sits just off the kitchen, with bay windows on two sides and a crystal chandelier overhead. It flows naturally from the kitchen but feels like its own destination.

The Primary Suite and the Turret

The second floor primary suite has a coffered ceiling, a private balcony overlooking the backyard, a custom closet, and an enormous spa bath. This is the room that makes buyers stop talking and start imagining.

Also on the second floor: three additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and an ensuite, with plenty of room for a family, guests, or a dedicated home office setup.

The turret -- that charming octagonal tower you see from the street -- opens up on the second floor as a sun-filled room that could be a reading nook, a home office, or just the spot that makes everyone who visits immediately want to live here.

The third floor has two more bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Six bedrooms total, 5.5 baths. Real, usable space at every level.

The Location Does a Lot of Work

336 Mountain Ave sits in one of Westfield's most sought-after pockets -- close enough to walk downtown for dinner, close enough to Mindowaskin Park for a morning run, and on a street that looks exactly like what people picture when they imagine moving to the suburbs.

Westfield's train station is minutes away. NJ Transit gets you to Penn Station in about 50 minutes. For anyone still commuting into the city, or just wanting the option, the location checks that box without compromise.

The fully fenced backyard adds another layer of privacy. For families with kids, for entertaining, for a dog -- it matters.

What Makes This Different From Other Westfield Listings

Westfield has beautiful homes. But homes that combine genuine historic character with a full gut renovation -- new electrical, new plumbing, HardiePlank siding, a kitchen like this, a primary suite like this -- are rare at any price point.

Most buyers coming from New York City are choosing between character and condition. They find the charming Victorian that needs work, or the fully renovated colonial that feels generic. 336 Mountain Ave doesn't make you choose. It's both.

This is the kind of home you buy once and stay in for twenty years.
