About this home

A Legacy Estate - Circa 1913, this extraordinary and unique estate was once a hunting lodge owned by Stanford University that sat on more than five and a half acres. Subdivided in 1971, it now functions as a private property on nearly one acre. Formal, yet functional, ornate iron gates welcome you onto a stone driveway and motor court with manicured grounds both front and back. A large wood-paneled foyer is abutted by spacious living and dining rooms, and the primary suite features an updated bathroom, ample closet space, and home office. Additional rooms on the main level include a handsomely renovated kitchen, light-filled study, butler’s pantry, 2 additional bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms. Upstairs provides another 4 bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, 2 landings, and home gym with kitchenette. A 1bdm/1bth studio - perfect for guests or an au pair - sits above a 4-car tandem garage. Rich in history and refined in detail, 45 Glen Alpine offers a rare opportunity to live in a home where craftsmanship, character, and scale converge to provide the perfect oasis in a town known for its beauty, and sought after for its highly-coveted K-12 public education, stunning parks, after school programs, and welcoming community. Easy access to SF.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: As a 1913 estate, despite noted renovations, the property may require ongoing significant maintenance and potential future upgrades to older, unmentioned systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) throughout the extensive property.
High Operating Costs: The substantial size of the home (8692 sqft) and nearly one-acre lot imply considerable ongoing expenses for utilities, property taxes, and professional landscaping/maintenance, which could be a significant financial commitment.
Potential for Inconsistent Modernization: While the kitchen and primary bath are updated, the description does not confirm comprehensive modernization across all 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, or other areas, potentially leaving some spaces or systems less contemporary than others.
