A once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself in the offering of a significant piece of Ross history. Formerly known as the “Heart Manor”, 123 Lagunitas Road was reputedly completed between the years 1886-1890 and enjoys the historical reputation of being one of the most architecturally prominent and distinctive homes in the community. Fine Victorian features including milled woodwork, soaring scale, a partial wrap around porch, and large public rooms define the +- 5,126 square foot residence that masterfully blends an open floor plan concept while simultaneously retaining the architectural integrity of the original design.
