Beautiful 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom luxury home available for sublet in a quiet faculty residential neighborhood in the older part of the campus, minutes from the central campus. The property is nearly an acre and includes a pool (with automatic cover), hot tub, children?????s play structure, wooden deck with gas grill, detached garage, gorgeous gardens, fruit trees, vegetable garden, and fern-filled redwood grove. The sublet includes housecleaning and gardener services, but will require feeding our (friendly) resident cat.

The historic 1920 house has been extensively remodeled. It has hardwood floors throughout, is fully furnished mostly with antiques, and has many large windows looking out on front and back yard gardens and redwood trees, plus multiple skylights. The first floor includes a remodeled gourmet kitchen with all appliances, eating and cooking island, floor-to ceiling windows, a family area with fireplace, and a half-bath/laundry room. Also on the first floor are a huge living room with a fireplace, piano and large windows; a formal dining room; two studies with wireless internet and built-in bookshelves; and a wood-paneled sunroom with window seats, a large hi-def flat-screen TV, and floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors looking out on the pool and garden. Just off the kitchen is a wooden deck with built-in gas grill and table and chairs for dining al fresco. Around the corner is a picnic table and hammock in the redwood grove, and an umbrella-table near the pool.

Upstairs are a master bedroom with king-size bed, cathedral ceilings and French doors; and a master bath with two sinks, marble counters, shower and Jacuzzi tub. Our son?????s bedroom contains a custom-built double-bed loft (i.e., two double beds) and its own bathroom with tub/shower. The two other bedrooms contain, respectively, a fold-out double bed, and a single bed. There is also an upstairs deck outside the master bedroom overlooking the garden and surrounded by roses. With an attic over the second floor, the house stays cool even on very hot days.

No smoking allowed; security deposit and references required. Tenant will be responsible for feeding our well-behaved cat. We will be leaving the house ?????as is????? ????? including our cars, clothes, books, food, etc. ????? so there won?????t be a lot of storage space available, but you can park on the driveway. A Stanford graduate student who lives in a studio apartment behind our garage will be available to answer questions and solve any problems that may arise.
