A once in a lifetime opportunity affords itself in the offering of Ross’ most revered legacy estate. Originally completed by John White of the Bernard Maybeck firm in 1902, the residence has long been considered one of the most iconic homes and properties in Northern California. The +-9,125 square foot main house plus detached guest house have undergone two substantial renovations/restorations under the guidance of noted architect Steven Wisenbaker (www.stevewisenbakerarchitects.com) and landscape architect Todd Cole (www.strata-inc.com). The main residence of +-7,965 square feet (per Floor Plan Visuals) offers 4 bedrooms, and 4 full bathrooms, including the primary suite, on the upper level, with a one bedroom, one full bathroom suite on the main level. The detached guest house and gym building of +-1,160 square feet (per Floor Plan Visuals) offers a full en-suite guest suite on the upper level, with a large gym/yoga studio plus full bathroom on the main level. Extraordinary, rich, and timeless architectural details, together with fabulous scale in living spaces, grace both buildings with the extensive use of wainscoting, box beam ceilings, divided light doors and windows, and fine moldings throughout. Designer lighting, custom wall coverings, and classic white marble and tile are seamlessly integrated throughout creating a timeless multi-generational design. The heart of the house is a grand scale kitchen/great room that opens directly to the unrivaled grounds and outdoor entertaining areas. The +-1.6 acre completely level site offers a symphonic display of year-round color and textured layering of old growth trees, mature plantings, and annual flowers. The landscape design masterfully incorporates stone walls, sweeping flagstone terraces for al fresco dining and entertaining, a large in-ground pool, elevated spa, entry fountain, outdoor wood burning fireplace, outdoor barbeque, lounging area adjacent to the pool, and unrivaled +-30 plus car paver and gravel driveway.
