An Enchanting Front Courtyard Reminiscent of Provence

5 Norwood Avenue is the very definition of curb appeal with its classic stucco facade, arched windows and Spanish tile roof. The enchanting front courtyard is reminiscent of Provence, inviting guests in through the custom iron gate and stacked stone walls. This lovely space features lush landscaping, stone accents and pavers, outdoor lighting, charming window boxes and a beautiful fountain that serves as the courtyard’s centerpiece and soundtrack.

Inviting Foyer Opens to Spacious Living with “Wow Factor”

The inviting foyer flows into the spacious magazine-worthy living room which offers many period architectural details. The room’s “wow factor” is provided by a large, central arched window that floods the room with light and looks out to the beautiful front courtyard and fountain. This stunning room also features high barrel-vaulted ceilings, European oak herringbone floors and a cozy gas fireplace flanked by two smaller arched windows emphasizing the home’s Spanish Mediterranean heritage.

Stunning Chef’s Kitchen Remodeled in 2020 Flows out to the Inviting Back Garden

The striking French La Cornue Cornufe 110 range is the culinary showpiece of the kitchen offering five gas burners and two ovens. There is also a pot filler and a custom-designed hood.

French doors flood the kitchen with natural light and flow effortlessly out to the inviting, private back garden ideal for entertaining and dining al fresco.

Private Back Garden Oasis is Perfect for Entertaining and Play

The home’s private back garden is a true oasis and serves as an extension to the home’s living space accessed from the kitchen as well as the home’s lower level. The beautiful stone patio and European-style fountain create the ideal outdoor living room for relaxing, entertaining and dining al fresco.

More about Ross, California

Located between Kentfield and San Anselmo, the town of Ross was named one of the wealthiest communities in the United States by Fortune Magazine and is considered by many to be one of the most prestigious places to live in Marin. Beyond that, it is postcard-perfect, from the beautiful town hall built in 1926 as the Shotwell Estate to the Ross post office that was built on the site of a former North Pacific Coast Railroad station, to Ross Common, a beautiful green park that anchors the center of the town.

Like much of Marin County, Ross was originally part of an 1840 Spanish land grant. The land was later purchased in 1857 by James Ross, a San Francisco wine merchant. In the 1870s San Franciscans discovered the beautiful Ross Valley and began building summer homes there. James Ross built his home on a 10 acre property that is now the Marin Art & Garden Center.

Shaded, tree-lined lanes give Ross a park-like feel and lead to beautiful custom homes and gated estates set on large, private parcels. A quaint downtown area of restaurants and shops is centered around Ross Common and serves as a popular, picturesque gathering spot for residents. There are many landmarks worth visiting in the town. Ross is also home to Phoenix Lake, one of my favorite places to hike in all of Marin County.

Located just 25 minutes north of San Francisco, Ross is home to Ross Elementary School, one of the top ten schools in the nation and rated 10/10 by GreatSchools.org. With only approximately 800 homes, it is one of the most sought-after places to live in Marin County.
