There is a reason Ross remains one of the most sought-after enclaves in Marin, and this stunning single-level 4bed/3.5bath home perfectly captures an understated, high-end magic. Tucked away on a quiet private lane in the coveted flats, this is a place where life slows down. Originally built in 1980 and meticulously renovated and expanded in 2006, the ~3,143 SF residence sits on a sun-drenched, level half-acre lot that feels like a private park. The property is a rare find, currently coming alive as the mature landscaping starts to bloom, framing the expansive, fully fenced front and back lawns with a vibrant, seasonal energy that extends to the peaceful banks of the creek. A true standout is the grand-scale living room; with its soaring vaulted ceilings, fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and generous proportions, it feels both incredibly sophisticated and completely comfortable. Sunlight pours in through the walls of sliders and plentiful windows, reflecting off the refinished walnut wood floors and drawing your eye straight to the gardens. The layout flows naturally from the formal dining room, adorned with ornate molding, into a newly remodeled kitchen outfitted with brand-new countertops, timeless backsplash, Bosch appliances, and custom floating shelves. This culinary space adjoins a grand family room designed for easy, indoor-outdoor living, flowing directly to the outdoor paradise. The romantic primary suite is a vaulted retreat of its own, featuring a walk-in closet, renovated bathroom, and French doors that allow you to wake up to garden views. Two additional bedrooms share this wing, while a separate fourth bedroom and full bathroom are on the opposite side of the housean ideal setup for a home office or guest suite. Tastefully updated bathrooms, central A/C, a dedicated laundry room, and abundant storage, including a large attic and outdoor sheds, make living a breeze. Two-car garage plus a driveway for three additional cars. Located just a short stroll from the award-winning Ross School, the charming amenities of downtown Ross, and locals' favorite hiking and biking trails of Phoenix Lake, this home represents the very best of the California dream.
