Traditional Ross estate that blends timeless architecture with the ease of modern living.
Quality-constructed in 1938, 14 Skyland carries a sense of history and craftsmanship, with thoughtful updates that preserve its original character while supporting today’s lifestyle. Perfectly positioned on a quiet street with amazing natural light throughout the entire day, arrival at the property sets the storybook tone for this special estate. A gated entry opens to a dramatic view of the professionally designed grounds, where lush landscaping, stone patio pavers, and brick detailing around the pool unfold to one side alongside a charming pool house with a full bathroom and kitchenette. Mature trees, blooming garden beds, and layered plantings create a quintessential Ross setting, both private and elevated. From here, a garden path leads to the main entry, where a welcoming foyer opens to one of the home’s most inviting spaces, a sunroom filled with natural light. Vaulted ceilings with glass window panes let in abundant light throughout the day, while vintage tile flooring and French doors connect directly to the pool terrace. It’s the kind of room that naturally becomes part of daily life, whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding with a nightcap after a day by the pool.
Beyond the foyer, the grand living room is the focal point of the home and establishes the home’s scale and elegance. Vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors frame the space, along with a fireplace that anchors the room, and a classic nine-pane window framed by built-in bookshelves that draws in soft natural light. A large bay window perfectly puts the beautiful view of oak trees and Mt. Tam on display. The detailing throughout feels intentional and enduring, a reflection of the craftsmanship that defines the home.
The main level flows easily from room to room. The large chef’s kitchen provides generous space for cooking and gathering, with abundant storage, double ovens, and a large butcher block island with a gas cooktop and bar seating. With a large breakfast nook and ample workspace, the kitchen easily accommodates everyday living as well as hosting holiday meals or larger gatherings all while taking in the tranquil view of Mt. Baldy through the beautiful windows. The formal dining room overlooks the backyard, mature trees, greenhouse, and garden pathways, offering a beautiful setting that shifts naturally with the light throughout the day.
The primary suite is located on the main level and features a fireplace, built-ins, beautiful windows and a large en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful, elegant space to unwind. Upstairs, one en-suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms and an additional full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A staircase to the lower level leads to a family/media room that opens directly to the backyard. This level also includes approximately 750 square feet of detailed indoor storage and workshop space.
Outdoors, the property continues to feel like a natural extension of the home. The pool is surrounded by lounging areas designed for both entertaining and relaxation, while the detached pool house provides a private and comfortable guest space. Beyond, the backyard opens to a generous level lawn bordered by mature landscaping.
The gardens, originally designed by Todd Cole RLA, add depth and character to the grounds, with layered plantings that include azaleas and rhododendrons, dogwood, magnolia, and oakleaf hydrangeas set beneath a canopy of mature oak trees and Japanese maples. Large Sonoma stones are thoughtfully arranged throughout the upper garden and pool area, creating a natural, grounded feel. A greenhouse with planter boxes offers space for gardening, while fruit trees—including apple, pear, persimmon, and citrus varieties such as lemon, orange, and lime—are found throughout the property. A variety of roses add color and texture to the kitchen gardens and lower gardens, further enhancing the landscape’s seasonal appeal.
Stone and brick pathways weave throughout the gardens, connecting each space and reinforcing the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. With exceptional sun exposure throughout the day and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, the property offers both privacy and beauty in one of Ross’s most desirable settings.
