Perched above one of Larchmont’s most coveted neighborhoods, 85 Lansdowne is a beautifully maintained Colonial set in the heart of the cherished Larchmont Gardens. Living “On the Brook” is more than a location -- it’s a lifestyle defined by a warm, close knit community, where neighbors chat along the sidewalks, cyclists coast by, and traditions like festive Halloween nights, the beloved “Kenducky Derby,” and lively block parties create lasting connections. All of this, just moments from Murray Avenue Elementary, charming shops, MetroNorth, the duck pond and waterfall, and vibrant downtown Larchmont.
Inside, the home immediately feels inviting and light filled. Sunlight pours into every room, highlighting a layout designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The welcoming living room features custom builtins, a wood burning fireplace, and a cleverly tucked away coat closet. French doors open onto a sprawling, newly constructed composite deck that stretches nearly the length of the house, creating seamless indoor outdoor flow.
Adjacent to the living room, the sundrenched sunroom offers three walls of oversized windows with serene views of the brook. Sliding doors provide additional access to the deck, making this space ideal for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons, or hosting guests year round.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with updated appliances and enjoys direct access to both the deck and patio for easy entertaining. Fresh paint and recessed lighting throughout the home add a crisp, move in ready feel.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, a dedicated dressing area or home office, two walk-in closets, and a well designed ensuite bath with dual sinks. Three additional bedrooms are bright and generously sized, offering delightful character, from a charming lofted sleep and play space to a room accented by a dramatic skylight with a retractable shade.
Outside, the property spans .29 acres of lush, landscaped grounds that feel private and peaceful. The oversized composite deck accommodates multiple seating and dining zones, while a slate patio provides a quieter outdoor escape. A manicured lawn with a four zone irrigation system completes the setting, and nature lovers will appreciate nearby access to the Leatherstocking Trail, a scenic path winding from New Rochelle through Mamaroneck.
Additional highlights include an attached one car garage, expanded driveway for multiple vehicles, custom closet systems throughout, and countless details that make this home as practical as it is charming—an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of Larchmont living.
