About this Property
// David Blankenhorn House / Guy Witter House, Roland Coate, 1923 //Designed by Roland Coate, FAIA 1937, originally for banking and real estate investor David Blankenhorn, 'The Man Who Bought Catalina (Island),' this French Norman Farmhouse was later renovated and expanded by Guy Witter, co-founder of brokerage Dean Witter & Company. Initially sited on a single parcel, the property was enlarged to include the adjacent parcel, and now spans over an acre of flat, gated land. After acquiring 1579 Lombardy, the property embarked on a 5-year renovation, finishing November 2024. Brought down to the framing, almost every element of the property was improved upon. General updates such as: plumbing, electric, HVAC, chimneys, seismic, roof and Lutron home automation system were added or replaced. In addition, more singular and superlative items were incorporated: raised entry-level and upper-level ceilings, distressed antique ceiling beams from France, steel doors and windows from Belgium, artesian grates crafted by the same company that supplies the Louvre Museum, and solid core segmental arched doors throughout. // Located in one of the best neighborhoods; designed and owned by the same entity who recently renovated and sold Jackie Kennedy's East Hampton summer estate, 'Lasata,' to
