The 1928-built John F. Stanford House was designed by architect Earl C. Rahn in the popular Spanish Colonial Revival style.  Built around a dramatic and private tiled center courtyard and featuring grand formal spaces this estate property embodies all of the classic characteristics of the era taking full advantage of the fabulous California Mediterranean climate.  

Through iron gates and behind the heavy wood front door is a welcoming grand formal Entry with sweeping staircase, tiled floor and original leaded glass window.  Flanking this space are the huge formal Living and Dining Rooms each a testament to the period featuring large wood windows, French doors, high ceilings, crown moldings and hardwood floors.  The Living Room is anchored by a large fireplace and has a period liquor closet; the Dining Room can accommodate 18+ guests and opens to a covered Loggia and the center courtyard

With a separate "service" entry from the porte-cochere the professional-grade Kitchen has everything needed to create and intimate dinner for two or feast for many.  Ceasarstone counters, stainless appliances and lot of workspace combine to create a true Dream Kitchen.  Also on the main floor is a large Family Room that overlooks all of the property and center courtyard.  The upper floor of this home has 3 large Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms including a wonderful Master Suite with private sitting room, fireplace, huge walk-in closet and bathroom.  There is an outdoor staircase down to the center courtyard

This property was designed for entertaining and offers so many options toward that end.  A large lower-level billiard/game room in the main house, a pool and pool house w/ bathroom and changing room, outdoor bar/kitchen, the tennis court, a basketball court and a park-like grassy area.  There is even a separate area behind the convenient 3-car garage for pets.  With so much to offer this vast yet comfortable property is one of just a few like it in the prestigious area of Northwest Glendale.
