21st Century Ross Home

This home is all about open space, light and comfort. It lends itself to family and entertaining and a lighter ecological footprint.

The Great Room stretches the entire length of the home, creating a feeling of expanse as the living room flows past the fire place into the formal dining area and finally the chef’s gourmet kitchen with built-in appliances and long Carrera Marble counters, farmhouse apron sink and a dine-in eating area. A butler’s pantry makes this room a remarkable venue for entertaining.

A Dramatic Master is located on this 2nd floor with a cathedral window looking over the treetops and creek and a view of the Seminary.

A Wine Cellar and Unparalleled Storage throughout the 900+ square feet of the lowest level of the house, which features 8ft ceilings.

Energy efficiency features: Extremely low utility costs due to radiant heat throughout; separate zone controls, solar electrical panels, LOE2 double pane windows and a natural gas fireplace.
Seismic safety features: Steel wall hardy panels; new concrete foundation with piers and footings and lateral side-pour; house framing bolted to the foundation.

Outdoor living spaces

Are a key feature of this home. Two seating areas are nestled within an elegant garden with mature trees. The first area features a fire pit, and the other, framed by a natural stone patio, is adjacent to the grilling area. Finally, a separate studio office serves as a quiet retreat.
