Property Description
Designed in 1926 by renowned architect behind the Court of the Ages, de Young Museum & Stanford's Lou Henry Hoover House, this Rose Garden residence is a singular, romantic estate and an architectural tour de force. Old-growth redwood timbers stand proud of the walls in posts, lintels and diamond cross-bracing, forming an architectural exoskeleton. Inside, pine-clad walls, ceilings and motifs continue that language. French doors recur like a refrain, opening to light, air and garden views. Nearly 3,500 SF on a 20,000 SF parcel offers scale rare in the Rose Garden. At its heart, a 40' x 20' great living and dining room rises beneath 12-foot ceilings, anchored by a substantial fireplace & French doors on 3 sides. Service bells, mechanical call box, skeleton keys, butler's pantry and hidden spiral staircase reward closer inspection. In 1969, a prominent local architect and his wife became only its second owners, raising four children here. The house reveals itself slowly; the longer you look, the more its geometry, craftsmanship and layers of history come into focus. Nearly 100 years later, 838 Morse feels authored: original, atmospheric and alive with architectural imagination. Not frozen in time. Not asking for reinvention. Ready for its next great love affair.
