Dottie and Joe Shrager (a Stanford Medical School professor and chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery) were attracted to their Spanish eclectic home, designed by Charles K. Sumner in 1926, partly because they’d just come from the East Coast. There they owned an 18th-century Federal farmhouse sitting on 4.5 acres.

“We wanted modern, airy, but Joe had his heart set on a traditional home,” Dottie Shrager said. They liked the idea of living on campus, but they wanted a house that didn’t need fixing up.

So a key reason they chose the historic home on campus was the extensive renovations done by the last owner, Kathleen Sul-livan. She lived there from 1993 when she joined the Stanford Law School faculty until she moved east in 2008, after serving as the first woman dean of the law school.

Shrager credits Sullivan with creating the sight line from the dining room, through the kitchen, laundry room and family room, ending with French doors leading outside.

Sullivan restored the home from the inside out, beginning with the infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, heating) and continuing to the kitchen and bathrooms. Working with con-tractor Michael Doherty of Santa Cruz and interior designer Greg Anton of San Jose, she added barrel vaulting and niches, reshaping an archway but retaining original doors, windows and cabinets.

Outside, Sullivan brought in Tim Vine of Landsystems Landscapes, Redwood City, retaining redwoods and cedar in

front, persimmon and live oak in back and eucalyptus on the side. Many rooms step directly outside, onto brick patios, with winding paths leading around the garden, including a rhodo-dendron and azalea garden near the kitchen.

Shrager pointed to some of the charming touches: a “Juliet-balcony” window overlooking the living room that allows air flow from a nearby window; a “Hobbit” door — a challenge for her tall husband — that leads outdoors; deeply recessed

arched windows in the living room; and a charming oval high window.

Although the Shragers found the house ready to move in, they have made a few changes. The original fireplace was replaced with a gas-burning version, which is used extensively to heat the living room. “We live in this room now,” Shrager said.

Several panels of their wooden front door have been replaced with glass, bringing light to an otherwise dark space. And, every house the family has lived in has had a tree swing. The children, ranging from 7 to 14 at the time, insisted.

And they have other plans of their own for the future. They plan to move the Spanish citrus orchard from the shady rear of the property to the sunny front, and sometime they will replace the original wrought-iron railing on the front porch, adding Spanish tiles at that time.

On tour day, much of the art displayed will be by Flo de Bretagne, a Palo Alto artist who is working with Dottie Shrag-er on a children’s book. The paintings are whimsical, colorful — and not at all in the 1926 mode, but Shrager says the white walls are a perfect backdrop to display them.

Other homes on tour, which supports the Stanford Historic Houses Project, include:

Moorish arches and a formal rose garden;

What is a REALTOR®?Buyers and sellers need to know their

real estate professional is someone they can trust. While real estate agents and REALTORS® are both licensed to sell real estate, REALTOR® is a trademarked term used by agents who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). “REALTORS®must abide by a Code of Ethics which is diligently enforced by our peers,” explains Suzanne Yost, president of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®.

Here are 17 things that a REALTOR® promises to do:

their clients’ interests while treating all parties honestly.

misrepresentation, or concealment of pertinent facts related to property or transactions.

professionals to advance their clients’ best interests.

known when buying or selling on their own account or for their families or firms.

services where they have any present or contemplated interest in property without disclosing that interest to all affected parties.

they may receive from recommending related real estate products or services.

one party, except where they make full disclosure and receive informed consent from their client.

customers in a separate escrow account.

spelled out in writing and parties receive copies.

all clients and customers irrespective of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

in the fields of practice in which they engage or get assistance from a knowledgeable professional, or disclose any lack of expertise to their client.

their advertising and in other public representations.

unauthorized practice of law.

and enforcement actions.

comments about other real estate professionals.

or exclusive brokerage relationship agreements that other REALTORS® have with their clients.

with other REALTORS® and with their clients.

REALTORS® must also complete ethics training by taking at least 2.5 hours of instruction at least once every four years to keep membership in NAR.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder ‘s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20110015005829.
