This is the first time in over 50 years that this well-preserved property has been listed for sale.

An offer has been made on the well-preserved home, listed at $949,000; but so far no takers have been forthcoming.

The home was designed by Edward Durell Stone in 1959 and retains many of its original features.

The four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home has had only two owners since it was built, with the current owner having lived in the home since 1969.

"It's been maintained almost like a museum - no one has vandalised it," says Amy Owens, listing agent for the New Jersey Metro Group." Most of the houses here have been tweaked or added to. The house has been maintained down to the smallest detail, which makes it even more sophisticated."

The house has a "Japanese influence," the listing notes. It offers an open floor plan and design elements that blend with the outdoors.

"When you walk in, you can see the whole house," says Owens." It's fully glazed, which makes it airy and open. You don't just see the inside of the house. You also get to see nature. I have watched a family of deer many times."

Right next to these idyllic views of the Manhattan skyline, which can be seen from the front of the house all year round.

There are shutters and sliding screens for privacy and the interior of the home is not visible from the street.

The main suite is located on the main level with a kitchen and living room, while the other bedrooms are located on the lower level.

It's all on the ground level," explains Owens." The type of house in which it is located lends itself to this style of house. Montclair means clear mountain and we are on a mountain."

Owens says the area is known for its schools and easy access to the city.

Everything in the home is in working order. The bathrooms are original, while the kitchen was updated in the 1980s.

"I love everything they've done in the kitchen," Owens said of the remodel." It was well thought out and has great lines. It didn't damage the house in any way."

She admits that the new owners may want to do some updates to the kitchen and get rid of the once-popular Formica countertops.

But she hopes that the buyer will be a purist when it comes to the house's almost untouched mid-century modern details.

"I think [the buyer] needs to be a big believer in the architectural style," Owens notes." I think you need to love it. If you look at it and think, 'It needs more storage' or 'I can add to that,' then buy another house. It's just that special."

People seem to love the house, and the listing has gone viral, much to Owens' surprise.

"We put the house up for sale on Thursday and we had an offer on Tuesday," she said. We had about 400 people attend the open house," she said. I had a police officer controlling the traffic."
