About this property
Sunny Private Ross Retreat: Gardens + Walk to Town
This sunny, light-filled home has been thoughtfully updated inside and out to create a private, peaceful retreat—where the only sounds are birds and nature. Set on a large gated lot in one of Marin’s most desirable neighborhoods, the property offers garden views and glimpses of Mt. Tam, while still being an easy walk to downtown Ross and San Anselmo shops, restaurants, and cafés, plus incredible hiking and biking trails in the nearby watershed and open space.
The Craftsman-style home features a remodeled eat-in gourmet kitchen with a large island, six-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers. The main level also includes a comfortable family room with a built-in TV, a spacious living room, a separate dining room, and a dedicated office with two desks and a half bath—ideal for longer stays and remote work.
Multiple doors open to expansive outdoor living areas, including a large patio with lounge seating, outdoor dining, heaters, and a gas BBQ, surrounded by newly planted gardens—perfect for effortless indoor/outdoor living.
The primary suite offers a king bed, walk-in closet, and remodeled bathroom, with French doors to a private porch and additional outdoor dining. Downstairs are four additional bedrooms and two newly remodeled bathrooms, plus direct access to more outdoor spaces. The fenced property includes multiple patios, lawns, and garden areas for kids to play, as well as a driveway with plenty of room for easy parking and turning around.
Available June–September with a two-month minimum stay.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Melissa
Hi! We’re longtime Marin residents and love the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle here—morning coffee in town, hikes on Mt. Tam, and dinners with friends on the patio. We’ve tried to make our home comfortable, calm, and easy to live in for longer stays, and we’re happy to share local favorites to help you feel at home right away.
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood because it’s calm, safe, and incredibly livable. It’s quiet enough to truly relax, with plenty of outdoor space and nearby trails. We love being close to Mt. Tam trails and the watershed, yet close enough to walk to Ross and San Anselmo for coffee, great restaurants, local shops, and everything you need day-to-day. It’s a wonderful place to spend the summer as a couple or with a family.
What makes this property unique
What makes our home unique is how it combines total privacy and quiet with a truly walkable location. It feels like a peaceful retreat—sunny, green, and serene—with multiple patios and garden spaces for indoor/outdoor living, with large French doors that open the house to the outside, yet you can still walk to Ross and San Anselmo shops and restaurants, and be on Mt. Tam trails in minutes. It's also a very safe neighborhood.
