7909 Rose Island Road

Set in the woods along a tree-lined private road in Prospect, a unique California Modernist architectural gem offering sublime spa-like luxury living, privacy and easy access to nearby shopping.

Exterior

A private road through old-growth trees opens onto 3.18 acres of architectural intention. Built in 1979 and reimagined in partnership with Architectural Artisans — board-formed concrete, western red cedar, floor-to-ceiling glass. The roofline follows the land. The materials age with it.

Living Room

Floor-to-ceiling glass on three exposures. Morning light from the east, afternoon warmth from the west, the canopy overhead all day. Stone fireplace anchors the room. The materials are honest — walnut, limestone, steel. 20-foot ceilings where the mezzanine opens above. No drywall. No pretense.

Kitchen

Full renovation by the current owner. Quartzite countertops, professional-grade appliances, waterfall island. The kitchen opens completely to the living space — no walls between cooking and conversation. Morning coffee faces the tree line. Saturday dinners serve twelve without crowding.

Primary Suite

Its own wing. Windows on three sides — east for sunrise, south for warmth, west for the evening show. The forest is the wallpaper. You don't close the blinds here. Walk-through closet system, private deck access, reading alcove with built-in shelving.

master bath

Spa-grade finishes throughout. Dual vanity in honed stone. Frameless glass rain shower. Skylight brings natural light from directly above — no electric light needed until evening. Heated tile floors. The kind of bathroom that makes five-star hotels feel like a compromise.

Spa & Steam

Cedar-lined sauna. Full steam room. Heated plunge pool. This is where the house stops being a house and becomes a lifestyle. The kind of recovery space that costs $200 a session at a resort. Here it's three steps from the bedroom.

Outdoor Kitchen

Not a grill on a patio. Stone countertops, built-in gas burners, refrigeration, sink — all under a covered timber structure with open sides to the grounds. Adjacent fire pit seating. String lights overhead. This is where the house entertains.

pool area

Heated pool surrounded by the tree canopy. Flagstone deck. The water catches the light through the leaves all afternoon. Lit for evening. Private — no neighboring sightline reaches it. Year-round use with the heating system.

deck

Multiple decks at different elevations follow the slope of the land. The architecture creates outdoor rooms — a morning coffee perch facing east, a wide entertainment deck off the living room, a private upper deck off the primary suite. Each one frames a different view.

fire pit

Natural gas. Stone seating for eight. Surrounded by trees and sky. This is where negotiations happen, where ideas get named, where Saturday turns into Sunday. The glow reaches the pool on one side and the outdoor kitchen on the other.

Exercise Room

Purpose-built. Natural light from two exposures. Rubber flooring, mirrored wall, enough square footage for a full rack, cardio equipment, and open floor work. Your gym, your schedule, your music through the integrated Sonos zone.

Bedroom 2

Guest quarters with its own character. Full-height windows facing the tree line. Walk-in closet. Shares a renovated bath but feels like its own suite. Quiet side of the house — away from the entertaining zones.

Bedroom 3

Third bedroom doubles as a study or creative space. Built-in desk alcove under the window. Same material palette — wood, stone, glass. Connected to the main hallway but set back enough for privacy.

Grounds

3.18 acres. Enough land to breathe. 2-stall barn with paddock for those who ride. Observation deck above the tree line — the only place in Prospect where you can see the river and the city at once. Whole-property Sonos. Every corner has sound.

garage

Multi-car capacity. Climate-controlled. Epoxy floors, built-in storage systems, direct interior access. Designed for the cars you actually want to own — not an afterthought bolted onto the side of the house.

extra rooms

Bonus rooms that the original architect left flexible on purpose. Media room, office, workshop, guest overflow — the house adapts to how you live. Original built-ins. Exposed structural beams above.
