A Timelessly Designed Robert A.M. Stern Home that Balances Classic Elegance with Modern Living
Nestled in one of the most coveted locations in Ross, just blocks from the celebrated Ross School and Ross Common, this five-bedroom estate represents a singular opportunity to own a residence designed by world-renowned architect Robert A. M. Stern. Conceived with meticulous attention to proportion and craftsmanship that defines enduring architecture, this home transcends fleeting trends and feels both enduring and inviting.
The residence unfolds with considered grace, from its welcoming covered portico to sun-drenched interiors where every room invites connection and repose. Coffered ceilings soar above rich oak floors, while thoughtfully integrated built-ins and French doors create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Natural light flows freely throughout, enhancing the home's inherent sense of openness and tranquility.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen embodies both function and beauty with its Calacatta marble surfaces, professional Viking range, and artisan farmhouse sink. This culinary sanctuary flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, extending seamlessly to outdoor terraces—perfect for both intimate family moments and grand entertaining. The lower level expands the home's versatility with a generous family room and media space, wet bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a private au pair suite with independent entrance.
The grounds unfold like a European estate, beginning with a gracious cobble-lined French Country gravel drive bordered by mature plantings. A substantial stone terrace, warmed by a wood-burning herringbone lined fireplace, provides an enchanting setting for outdoor living, while thoughtfully designed gardens showcase seasonal plantings of grapevines and fragrant lavender. The property offers endless potential for enhancement, with space for a future pool and infrastructure ready for solar power and electric vehicle charging—a thoughtful marriage of heritage charm and modern sustainability.
