The Charles D. Stevens Estate

San Jose, California | $4,000,000

Designed by renowned architect Louis Christian Mullgardt, the Charles D. Stevens Estate is one of the most distinctive and romantic residences in San Jose’s historic Rose Garden neighborhood. Believed to be Mullgardt’s final residential commission, the house carries the intimacy and force of a late-career work. It is not monumental in the public sense. It was not designed as a museum, exposition centerpiece, or institutional landmark. It was designed as a home. A deeply personal, highly imaginative, almost singular residential expression by an architect whose work was known for originality, craft, and feeling. Built in 1926 and technically considered a bungalow, the description feels almost inadequate once inside. Twelve-foot ceilings, expansive rooms, numerous French doors, formal and service spaces, servants’ quarters, a grand entry hall and a living and dining room of ballroom proportions give the residence a scale and presence more evocative of an estate.
