An extraordinary and rare opportunity to build one of Ross’s most thoughtfully designed new homes — with more than 18 months of entitlement, design, and engineering already complete.
This property offers fully approved Advisory Design Review and Town Council plans for a 2,750± square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence designed by acclaimed architect Barbara Chambers, with landscape architecture by Frederika Moller. Known for her timeless design and enduring craftsmanship, Barbara Chambers creates homes that feel as though they’ve always belonged — and this design is no exception. The sellers envisioned this as their forever home, and every detail reflects that level of intention.
From an entitlement standpoint, the property is exceptionally turnkey. Approved plans, civil engineering, and a full survey are complete — allowing a future owner to move directly into construction without the uncertainty, redesign risk, potential neighbor appeals, or prolonged approval timelines that often accompany new builds in Ross. Opportunities to build new in Ross are exceedingly rare; having this level of approval already secured is invaluable.
The floor plan offers an open kitchen and family room, a private dining room, and a front library/living room with the option for a first-floor primary suite. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower.
The approved design balances elegance and livability. A south-facing loggia invites natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The garage is discreetly placed to the north for enhanced privacy, while the rear garden unfolds into a serene retreat with a pool and spa, raised garden beds, and a fire-pit gathering area.
Located just moments from Ross School — often regarded as offering a private-school-caliber education — this property pairs architectural pedigree with one of Marin’s most coveted settings.
This is the opportunity to build a Ross dream home — with vision realized, risk minimized, and the hardest work already behind you.
The existing home is a charming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offering approximately 2,012 square feet of comfortable living on one of the best streets in the area. Set on a nearly flat lot with a wonderful backyard, the property combines everyday livability with exceptional location—an easy walk to both downtown Ross and San Anselmo. Inside, the home features a remodeled kitchen that anchors the living spaces and opens to outdoor enjoyment, making it an ideal setting for relaxed living, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet, neighborhood feel that makes Glenwood so special.
