634 Mirada Avenue | Stanford, CA
Parcel No. 142-08-046 | Approx. 0.7 Acres

Set atop the historic San Juan Hill residential enclave, 634 Mirada Avenue is a rare Spanish Revival architectural gem designed in 1921 by renowned architect Birge M. Clark.

Rich in character, scale, and provenance, this exceptional residence sits on an expansive approximately 0.7-acre lot at the top of campus, moments from the iconic Stanford Dish trails and adjacent to the Stanford President’s house in one of the most coveted and serene locations within the Stanford community. Spanning approximately 3,665 square feet, the home offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms, and an ample open living space. This space is complemented by a substantial basement and attic that provide abundant flexibility for storage, creative use, or future expansion, as well as outdoor living spaces on both the ground-floor and second-floor porches. 

Gracious public rooms are thoughtfully designed for both formal entertaining and comfortable everyday living, with effortless flow to two expansive decks positioned on either side of the home.  Timeless architectural details define the interiors, including oak crown molding, a traditional formal study with built-in oak bookcases, and two wood-burning fireplaces that anchor the home’s warm, classic ambiance.  South-facing exposures flood the interiors with natural light, while mature oaks and redwoods frame the property alongside a striking Canary Island date palm that enhances its distinctive California setting.

Located within the highly regarded Palo Alto Unified School District, serving Nixon Elementary, Fletcher Middle School, and Gunn High School, the home offers exceptional access to top-tier education in a setting that is both peaceful and remarkably central.

A rare opportunity to own a historically significant and beautifully situated residence in one of Stanford’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
