Inside, the spacious living room is open to the dining room, and has a vaulted ceiling accentuated by oversized windows and sliding doors that open to a private backyard. This sunlit, elegant room features a wood-burning fireplace, recessed lighting, new dual-pane windows and a handsome white oak floor that continues through the rest of the home. Sliding doors to the backyard facilitate easy indoor/outdoor living in addition to views of the lovely backyard. Colorful drought resistant landscaping, Italian cypress trees and a weathered brick patio create an ideal surrounding in which to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The newly remodeled, eat-in kitchen/breakfast nook is open to the dining room, and includes a tray ceiling with recessed lights, creamy quartz counters, white subway tiles on the walls, plenty of kitchen cabinet storage and prestige Bosch and GE Cafe appliances. An updated half bathroom is conveniently located between the kitchen and spacious 2-car attached garage.

A wide, open staircase next to the front entrance leads to the second floor and offers open sightlines of the rooms below. The spacious primary bedroom suite at the top of the stairs offers a dramatic 10-foot cathedral ceiling, a hardwood white oak floor, picture windows and two well-sized closets. The divided ensuite bathroom has been remodeled with attractive modern finishes on the double vanity and large walk-in shower. Two additional generously-sized bedrooms on this level share a remodeled bathroom that’s filled with timeless amenities and finishes.

Normandy HOA is a charming, park-like community with tranquil, tree-lined streets, lush green spaces and a community outdoor pool. The developers’ principal design feature was to create a residential community within an urban forest by planting native specimen trees throughout. Now, thirty years later, this once novel, forward-thinking vision has been accomplished with mature, verdant trees that line the lovely, tree-lined streets and parks. 1774 Brown Street provides the opportunity to enjoy everything that this charming community has to offer, from a turnkey home with modern, tasteful updates and a beautiful backyard garden. Close to award-winning schools, shoreline and lagoon trails, Harbor Bay Landing shopping–even a fabulous public golf course! The SF Ferry is only minutes away, and commuting to San Francisco over the SF Bay couldn’t be easier. Alameda living certainly doesn’t get much better than this!
