Trestlewood Cottage This home is vintage Maplewood. We named it for the Red Electric Railroad trestle that once formed the southeast property line. The original owner of the house, Mr. Charles Lincoln, was a Portland bookbinder. He spearheaded the planting of the maple trees that are now such lovely namesakes of our community. The classic charm of the original house has been thoughtfully blended with modern amenities such as high efficiency heating and cooling systems, remodeled kitchen and baths, copper plumbing throughout and updated electrical. It has a new roof, newer water heater, alarm system, stereo speaker system throughout the house, and sprinkler system. It has all the charms of a vintage home with the updates a modern family needs. The extensive yard is a gardener's dream. Secluded and peaceful, the garden offers sun, shade and woodland settings. There are dozens of mature shrubs and trees that have taken the better part of a century to grow. Slopes and and natural terraces give the land character all the way down to the valley where Woods Creek flows just beyond the fence. All of this and a delightful little potting shed to hang your shovel and kick-off your garden clogs! Trestlewood Cottage is a home to cherish and love.
