Designed in 1926 by renowned San Francisco architect Charles Sumner, this home presents a pristine example of the Spanish Colonial style of architecture that helped define elegant living on the Peninsula in the early 20th century. Beyond a vast stretch of level lawn, first glimpses of the richly layered Old World ambiance are immediately revealed by the classic facade with its original, but restored, terra cotta tiled roof, leaded and steel casement windows, and wrought iron railings that frame a front porch and upper-level balcony. Inside, a tapestry of period details unfolds with finely finished oak hardwood floors, plastered walls with graceful arches, iron chandeliers, and brass and glass doorknobs. While the earlier era ambiance remains fully intact, it is the homes renovations supporting a lifestyle of comfort and luxury that make this such a special home a beautifully remodeled kitchen with professional appliances, three and one-half bathrooms appointed with fine tiles and marble slab, plus an inviting family room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Numerous French doors to brick and Saltillo tile terraces, including an upper-level terrace, afford effortless indoor/outdoor enjoyment. All around, beautifully landscaped gardens with brick and sanded strolling paths and a bevy of mature trees for shaded sitting areas, define a setting that welcomes both lively garden parties or just quiet contemplation. Rounding out the appeal of this architectural classic is its desirable location just moments from the center of Stanford Campus, open space hiking trails, top-rated schools, and major commute routes. *Available for purchase by approved Stanford faculty ans staff only* Neighborhood Description Lovely, quiet neighborhood populated by Stanford faculty and high-level staff and their families.
