New Ross home, with an eye on modernism, asks $14.9 million

Up in the tony town of Ross, known to the pop culture-savvy as the former home of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, one can find many pricey abodes. But it’s a red-letter day when a new construction lands on the market, especially one as alluring as the sprawling estate at 9 Woodside Way.

Coming in a five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and roughly 5,000 square feet, this clearly contemporary home offers a nod to modernist design. The floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplace, and wood beams are all reminiscent of midcentury-modern aesthetics.

But make no mistake, this sleek affair is 2017 all the way. The infinity edged pool, smart-home technology, and green roof all bring this into the twenty-first century.

The redwood trees on the property, carefully integrated into the landscaping, offer a healthy amount of privacy and woodsy beauty. They also pair nicely with the custom formed Koa wood bathtub in the master bath. Lovely.

Asking is $14,995,000.
