Award winning Yale University architect Brian Healy (www.brianhealyarchitects.com) was retained for the substantial renovation of this +- 5,260 square foot Ross estate. Steeped in Ross history, 7 Willow Hill Road was the former barn of the original Willow Hill estate, and purportedly part of the original Green property. The +- 4,845 square foot 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom main house offers a highly desirable and rarely available floor plan with 4 of the bedrooms, including the master bedroom on the upper level and a one bedroom, one bathroom suite on the lowest level, ideal for in-laws or an au-pair. The residence offers great scale throughout with high ceilings, fine architectural details, and a seamless indoor/outdoor flow with the home’s great room and living room both opening directly to the large deck and rear lawn/gardens, ideal for entertaining and hosting large affairs. Timeless, high-end finishes, including a kitchen designed by noted kitchen designer Sandra Bird, are evident throughout. The outstanding Robin Cheryl designed gardens provide a year-round symphonic display of color. Soaring Redwoods, a sweeping level lawn, colorful, mature gardens, and a “reach out and touch” nature preserve are all available right in your own back yard. The property uniquely blends in town living with complete privacy and quiet. The +-415 square foot detached guest house offers a large living area with en-suite bathroom. The beautiful +- one-acre property also includes stairs that descend directly to downtown Ross, making 7 Willow Hill Road easily walkable to the Ross Commons and coveted and award-winning K-8^th grade Ross School.
