Singular opportunity to acquire one of the Ross Valley’s most iconic mid-century residences! Designed by owner/influencer and published author architect Sarah Robinson (www.srarchitect.com), the 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom stucco and Ipe sided residence has been fully restored with authentic mid-century, high-end designer finishes throughout. Previously featured in Elle Décor Magazine, the residence blends Classic Heath tile, warm African Mahogany cabinetry, chic mid-century inspired lighting, original redwood paneling, and hugely scaled open living spaces that are seamlessly blended for a timeless aesthetic throughout. The heart of the home is a grand scale great room with soaring ceilings and infinite natural light that opens directly to a secondary outdoor kitchen, massive deck exterior entertaining area. The optimal floor plan allows for maturing families with three bedrooms, including the primary suite on the upper level, two additional en-suite bedrooms on the lower level, and a brand new detached legal ADU with en-suite bedroom, full kitchen, and additional walk-in storage room. In addition to the magazine worthy main level great room, there is a secondary family room/media room, ideally located on the lower level, ideal for maturing children. The outstanding, mature grounds include old growth trees, stacked stone walls, artful garden ornamentation, mature plantings, a large level lawn, adjacent play structure space, huge Bluestone patio with al fresco dining area, and grand scale deck (+- 600 square feet) that offers sweeping valley, ridge line, and East Bay views.
