Renowned astronaut Buzz Aldrin grew up in a handsome stucco house in Upper Montclair, sleeping in a third-floor bedroom where he said he would slip out the window at night, to walk on the roof under the stars.
About two decades after the Aldrins’ moved out, in 1969, the new owners of 25 Princeton Place sat huddled around the television in his old living room, watching Aldrin and Neil Armstrong make their famous steps and leap across the surface of the moon.
