82 Blanchard Road - SOLD
Not to be missed is this one-of-a-kind Mid-Century-Modern-influenced Contemporary Home that will give you Hollywood Hills vibes with views of NYC! Originally built in 1926, it was given a full Mid-Mod redo mid-20th century, and then artfully updated recently into the Contemporary showplace it is now. Both the upper and lower levels live like the loft you wish you'd had in Tribeca, with the lower level stepping down into a stunning three-season enclosed patio overlooking your pool - the perfect spot to host a gathering of all your fabulous friends or your local soccer team. The lower level also features a front patio larger than most homes, a family room that opens straight onto that patio, a fourth BR-type space perfect for guests or WFH, and a gorgeous designer full bathroom. The upper level of this home has an open-plan kitchen/living room that offers contemporary styling, newer appliances, huge island, walls of windows and unbelievable views of NYC. The upper level also features the 3 generously sized bedrooms, with the primary BR sporting the closet of your dreams. The epically large outdoor space of this home features several distinct areas: one is the fully fenced grassy backyard you know you NEED, another is the gorgeous saltwater swimming pool you know you WANT, and don't forget about the perfect outdoor shower, and the front and side yards that even accommodate for your own SLEDDING! It doesn't get more unique or special than 82 Blanchard Road.
FAMILY ROOM
“Light filled oasis that feels more like an expansive tree house than a living room.”
ENCLOSED PORCH
“The beauty about this house is that it allows for so many different opportunities of where to actual dine. We eat most family dinners in the great room. Have dinner parties in the greenhouse. And summer dinners happen on the patio out front.

During gatherings, it’s common to see everyone gathered around the sizable kitchen island.”
LIVING & DINING room
“The greenhouse is such an integral entertaining space for us, specifically because we do our larger dinner parties there, and it’s amazing. You can see the city skyline from there as well.”
Primary BEDROOM
“Waking up and looking out the three huge windows at the sky - oftentimes it looks like an oil painting. And the walk in closet is spectacular.”
