1915 Blair Boulevard

1915 Blair is what happens when historic Belmont-Hillsboro architecture is given room to breathe. Designed by Allard Ward and, in recent years, comprehensively reimagined and rebuilt by Hammond & Brandt, the property represents a full-scale transformation of the original home and grounds. Set across an exceptional 80 x 170 lot, it has a scale and presence rarely found in the neighborhood. Inside, the proportions and volume feel closer to new construction, while thoughtfully preserving the character and architectural cues of the original bungalow. Vaulted ceilings span multiple areas of the main floor, rooms are generous and open, natural light is abundant, and the private primary suite occupies its own wing with windows on every side. Yet for all that volume, the home remains unmistakably Belmont-Hillsboro, with its architecture and streetscape preserved for years to come by the historic overlay. Outside, the landscape is as considered as the house. A full-size pool is framed by Tennessee bluestone, mature landscaping, ornamental grasses, extensive plantings, elaborate irrigation and misting systems, with remarkably generous lawn remaining. A disappearing pocket-door wall connects the main living space to the screened porch, while the four-season pool house/cabana opens on multiple sides around a wood-burning fireplace. A two-car garage with expanded living space above adds further flexibility. Downstairs, the basement earns its keep with additional living space, a sectioned wine room, workout room and dedicated storage/workshop. Beneath the beauty is serious infrastructure: geothermal, extensive site engineering, retaining walls, drainage, hardscape and landscape improvements. The architecture gets your attention, but the land, scale and execution are what set 1915 Blair apart.
