862 Trestle Glen Rd, Oakland, CA 94610

Maintaining original charm amid renovations to its kitchen and bathrooms, this 1925 home reflects ideal characteristics of the Twenties and the Two-Thousands simultaneously. Its Colonial Dutch Revival façade incorporates wood shingle, multi-pane double-hung windows, and an ornamented front entry with columns underpinning a triangular pediment overhead. The interior presents sun-saturated rooms that link together gracefully and connect visually and physically to a private patio. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two bathrooms include a master suite. Like the home, its location combines an idyllic duality. An alluring residential setting among distinctive examples of architecture combines with ultra-convenient proximity to everyday attractions. As attractive as it is accessible, this stretch of Trestle Glen lies just moments by car or on foot from highly rated schools, shopping, entertainment, public transportation and highway access. Preserved period elements blend with stylized updates throughout the home. The foyer reveals polished hardwood floors and leads to the library as well as the living room. Within the living room, tall windows emanate from the baseboard and spread broadly across two walls, generating airy appeal and garden outlooks. Positioned at an angle, a fireplace issues warmth toward the center of the room. Reiterating several attributes, the dining room features broad window formations and, placed at angle, an arched china hutch graces a corner. Also containing decorative built-in facets, the library incorporates an arched alcove with bookshelves. Equipped with flair and functionality, the kitchen integrates all updated components in a spacious, well-configured layout. A center island offers bar seating and storage and, like counters, is topped with ebony granite. Caramel cabinetry harmonizes with a camel and cream checkerboard tile floor, and appliances are unified in stainless. From the breakfast area, French doors lead to a terra-cotta hued patio. Enclosed and surrounded by garden elements, it forms a perfectly placed, picturesque spot for outdoor dining and recreating. Also adjacent to the kitchen is a half bath as well as a room that ably serves as an office and laundry facility. Apart from public spaces, four bedrooms occupy the second floor. The master suite is further tucked away by a hallway entry. Within it, windows supply natural light from three sides. Updated with a timeless sensibility, the master bath blends textural natural-stone tile in soft earth tones carrying from the flooring to the shower, while decorative wainscoting adorns the walls. The hall bathroom, also updated, strikes a classic note with black and white ceramic tile and a pedestal sink. It serves three bedrooms, all of which reveal a touch of angular appeal as the ceiling contours to the roofline. With opportunities to walk to many destinations, a car may often remain stowed in the detached garage that sits at the end of the private driveway.
