About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in the heart of Ross, this architectural jewel is a rare offering--an extraordinary private gated compound blending timeless elegance with modern luxury. Spanning 5,100+ sq. ft., the recently renovated shingle-style retreat sits on a level double lot with custom stonework, lush landscaping, a sweeping lawn, and a resort-like pool. Reimagined in 2019 by Polsky Perlstein Architects & BK Design, the magazine-published residence features high ceilings, designer finishes, extensive millwork, reclaimed wood beams, and French oak herringbone flooring. The chef's kitchen with marble counters flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, opening via retracting doors to sunlit patios, pool, and lawn--perfect for entertaining. A main-level primary suite offers a spa-like bath, while three additional bedrooms and chic baths are upstairs. A flexible space serves as a playroom or 5th bedroom. The exquisite guest/pool house boasts Palladian windows, two inviting living areas, a fireplace, wet bar, two bedrooms or offices, and two designer baths. A first-floor guest unit with private entry includes a full kitchen, fireplace, and elegant finishes. Close to top-rated Ross K-8 + Branson schools, Ross Common, and biking/hiking. Welcome to an unparalleled indoor-outdoor lifestyle!
