About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 3061 Ruth Elaine Drive – a beautifully expanded and thoughtfully upgraded home in the heart of Rossmoor!

This home has been meticulously updated to offer comfort, style, and incredible indoor-outdoor living. The expanded kitchen is a showstopper—featuring an open-concept design with custom dining bar, stainless steel LG refrigerator, Thor Kitchen 6-burner gas range with professional hood, and KitchenAid convection microwave oven for steam or speed cooking. A walk-in pantry with charming barn doors and an adjacent office nook with built-in lighting complete the space. Enjoy vaulted ceilings and clerestory view windows in the rear addition, offering tree-top views and abundant natural light. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a large walk-in closet including custom built-ins, a cozy window seat with shiplap walls, seagrass blinds, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a dual sink vanity, oversized walk-in shower and a private water closet. The home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a full guest bath with farmhouse-style floating wood vanity and honeycomb marble tile. One of the bedrooms is set up as a den with its own bath access and a separate entrance—perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Step outside to your personal resort-style backyard featuring a covered patio, custom built-in COYOTE BBQ island with flat-top grill, burner, sink, refrigerator, bar seating, trash drawer, and even an outdoor TV and movie viewing area. The sunken firepit lounge is ideal for entertaining, surrounded by artificial turf, sleek tile, and raised privacy planters with lush trees. Additional highlights include: Indoor laundry room with quartz counters, laundry sink, and ample cabinetry. Dual-pane windows, ceiling fans, and central AC/heat and smooth drywall finishes and recessed lighting throughout.
