Modern Farmhouse in Ross

4 Bedrooms | 3.5 Bathrooms | 2,975 Square Feet | $3,895,000

This outstanding modern home on a peaceful, private perch above Winship Park in Ross has just undergone a complete renovation and expansion from the foundation up. The stunning modern farmhouse is located on over half an acre, with sweeping views of Mt. Tamalpais and its lush environs, mere minutes from the heart of one of the most desirable towns in Marin, known for its charming village center and superlative schools.

A bucolic lane winds up the verdant hillside to a private drive leading to the house and attached garage. An inviting foyer opens to the great room, drenched in sun and views from the vaulted ceiling and disappearing walls of glass that open onto the expansive deck and lawns beyond.  

The great room, with its open, airy living and dining area, and sparkling chef’s kitchen, is the centerpiece of the home. A bonus room off the kitchen provides space for additional food preparation, storage, and an office. A large picture window in the kitchen swings open to the deck, creating an outdoor bar and pass-through for effortless indoor/outdoor flow. In the center of the great room, stylish modern farmhouse doors frame a large family media room, with sliding glass doors leading to the front yard.

Nestled on the western side of the house is a two room suite with full bath and sliding glass doors to the deck, perfect for guests, an au pair, or an office. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, and the laundry are located on the far side of the great room, with access to the yards beyond. The breathtaking primary bedroom is on a floor of its own above, awash in light and views, and graced with a luxurious bath and a spacious walk-in closet.

The residence is surrounded by decks, lawns, and magnificent views. The sunny level grounds provide endless opportunities for entertainment. The main deck borders virtually the entire southern expanse of the house, with room for large outdoor parties. Flat lawns stretch along three sides of the house, and another large, level area offers the potential for a pool, bocce ball, or sport court. The motor court adjacent to the two car garage provides parking for several additional cars.

This spectacular home is the ultimate Marin sanctuary, with its generous private grounds, vast views, stunning modern aesthetic, superb layout, idyllic indoor/outdoor lifestyle, and enviable location in the coveted town of Ross, with its charming downtown shops and restaurants, the award-winning K-8 Ross School, and acclaimed Redwood High School.
