L'eleganza DI Brookside Road

42 Brookside Road offers exceptional curb appeal in the heart of Glorietta. Set on a prominent corner lot, the beautifully landscaped wraparound yard, framed by mature trees and lush gardens, creates a warm first impression. A charming front porch provides the perfect place to relax, enjoy the neighborhood, or simply unwind.

Inside, exposed beam ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and inviting living spaces reflect the home’s timeless character. Thoughtfully updated by the current owners, the home preserves its architectural integrity while incorporating refined finishes, including Calacatta marble kitchen countertops, white oak flooring throughout, Marvin windows, and premium Wolf and Viking appliances. A wine cellar conveniently located just off the kitchen and family room adds a distinctive touch, making everyday living and entertaining equally enjoyable.

The main living areas open effortlessly to a private backyard designed for entertaining. Ambient landscape lighting, mature landscaping, and a welcoming fire pit transform the outdoor setting into a special gathering place for family and friends, whether hosting celebrations or enjoying quiet evenings at home.

The home offers four bedrooms, currently configured as three bedrooms plus an office, along with a spacious two-car garage offering generous storage. Having been cherished by only two owners in more than 60 years, this is a home that has been exceptionally cared for, and it’s easy to understand why.

Ideally located in central Glorietta, the property offers convenient access to downtown Orinda, BART, Glorietta Elementary School, Meadow Swim and Tennis Club, and the many amenities that make this one of Orinda’s most sought-after neighborhoods. A rare turnkey opportunity that beautifully combines timeless architecture, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional location.
