Buyer Must Be Approved Stanford Faculty. This early 1900s Arts and Crafts attached single-family home is part of a Bakewell & Brown double house built in 1905, showcasing timeless character on more than one-quarter acre with a detached guest cottage and pool house. One of Stanford's distinctive mirrored residences originally created for faculty housing, the home reflects a unique architectural pedigree. Classic brown-shingle styling is framed by sun-dappled grounds, sycamore trees, and a welcoming covered porch. Inside, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and detailed millwork define the interiors. Formal living and dining rooms each feature wood-burning fireplaces, while a vintage china cabinet adds period charm. A bright sunroom and spacious casual dining area adjoin the refreshed kitchen with easy outdoor access. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with fireplace, library shelving, and access to a finished attic. The private rear grounds include a pool, spa, sauna, and mature redwoods. A detached guest cottage with full kitchen, plus a pool house and 1-car garage with EV outlet, complete the property.
