About This Property

Designed by Charles K. Sumner of San Francisco in Mediterranean style with French influences, set below street level on 1.4 private acres behind a dense screen of mature trees, and nearly invisible from the street. The rear garden is an oasis, featuring a pool, two large decks, a stunning California live oak, redwoods, liquidambar, Monterey pines, and mature fruit trees. Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover purchased and completed the unfinished house while the future Hoover House was under construction on the crown of San Juan Hill. Original cedar shelves in the basement still bear the Hoovers' name and Washington address. Three subsequent owners were distinguished Stanford faculty. The house is generous in scale throughout a 13-foot entry hall, a 27-by-30-foot living room with sunroom, spacious dining room, and an upstairs primary suite with bedroom, bath, study, and dressing room. Period details include a multipaned arched staircase window, original French doors, lath and plaster walls, and a brick-and-concrete terrace across the full front facade. Six bedrooms, 4 baths: 3,319 sq ft across two main floors plus a 614 sq ft finished lower level not reflected in the tax record. Stanford-eligible buyers only.
