The estate embodies a level of craftsmanship and historical integrity seldom found today. Originally completed in 1904 by John White of the award-winning Bernard Maybeck firm, the 5-bedroom, 4 full and 3 half-bath home is a distinguished expression of the Arts and Crafts movement, where timeless design principles and a seamless relationship with the natural landscape are carried through with remarkable clarity.

Set across 1.9 acres of private, park-like grounds, the compound spans roughly 9,225 square feet and offers a rare balance of architectural pedigree and refined modern livability. A comprehensive restoration and renovation, led by Hans Baldauf of BCV Architecture and former chairman of the Maybeck Foundation, was undertaken with exceptional discipline, honoring the home’s original intent while elevating it to meet the expectations of contemporary life. The design and furnishings by the iconic San Francisco firm, Paul Wiseman Group, completed the vision for the current owners.

The interiors unfold with a sense of quiet grandeur, defined by scale, warmth, and extraordinary craftsmanship. Old-growth redwood paneling, wood beam ceilings, and finely executed millwork establish a rich architectural language that carries throughout the home. From the grand foyer, a sequence of beautifully proportioned rooms reveals itself with effortless flow, including formal living and dining rooms, a library and music room, a private office, and a formal powder room, as well as a generous gathering space designed to accommodate both intimate living and large-scale entertaining.

At the heart of the residence, the kitchen and adjoining family room serve as a natural and inviting center of daily life. Thoughtfully designed for both function and aesthetic continuity, the space is appointed with Calacatta marble, professional-grade appliances, a walk-in pantry, and an integrated dining area that opens directly to the grounds, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A privately positioned guest wing, connected by a breezeway, provides a rare combination of separation and cohesion, ideal for extended family or guests.

The upper level is anchored by a primary suite of exceptional scale and tranquility, offering two walk-in closets, a spa-like bath, and a dedicated gym. Three additional bedrooms, one en suite and two sharing a bath, are complemented by an office, laundry room, family lounge, and a classic sleeping porch that speaks to the home’s heritage. A third level offers a large, flexible space suited for a playroom, studio, or additional living space, with substantial storage adjacent. The lower level features a beautifully designed mudroom, a custom temperature-controlled wine cellar, a tool room/workshop, and a half bath.

The grounds, originally conceived by renowned landscape architect Thomas Church and refreshed by the highly regarded Stephen Suzman of Zeterre Landscape Architecture, evoke a resort-like sensibility while remaining deeply rooted in the natural beauty of Marin. Expansive lawns, a bluestone patio, mature oaks, and a series of outdoor living spaces create an environment equally suited for relaxed daily living and elegant entertaining. The property also includes a large circular rim-flow edge pool with solar heating, an elevated stone spa, a pool changing room with a half bathroom and a private outdoor shower, a wood-burning fireplace, and a fully equipped, enclosed outdoor kitchen with a pergola and dining area. The residence enjoys all-day sunlight and stunning views from both the front and rear. Two gated driveways and a four-car garage further enhance the estate’s sense of privacy and functionality.

Ideally positioned near the scenic hiking and biking trails of Mount Tamalpais and Phoenix Lake, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. Located within the distinguished community of Ross, home to the award-winning K-8 Ross School, 37 Upper Road represents an irreplaceable offering, where architectural significance, heritage, and modern livability converge in one of Northern California’s most coveted settings.
