Former NFL Player Antonio Brown Puts His Lavish California Home On The Market
Since 2010, former wide receiver Antonio Brown led the NFL in receptions (837), receiving yards (11,207), 1st down receptions (546), and touchdowns (74). To say there was nothing he couldn't do in that position would be an understatement. Due to some personal issues, Brown is no longer in the league as of October 2019. After leaving Pittsburgh, he landed with the Oakland Raiders, and then it was off to New England before he would stop playing. While he was in the Bay area, Brown had a lavish home in Alamo that's now on the market for $3.375 million. Let's take a look at it, shall we?
The Lavish Life
Antonio Brown enjoys living the posh life more than many other athletes in the NFL. You might see him in a fur trench coat, or a Gucci blazer. Rarely do you catch Brown without a designer outfit on.
Not only are his clothes flashy, but everything else is as well. From his car to the homes he chooses to live in, Brown embodies lavish. His house in Alamo, California, is no exception to any of this.
The Dramatic Entrance
Living like an NFL star just became so much easier. That is, if you have an extra $3,375,000 waiting in the bank. If you do, then you're in luck because this home can be yours.
As soon as you reach the front door, it feels like you're about to enter a five-star restaurant. Wooden arches accented by stone walls set the tone, and there are also vertical windows for you peer out and see who's at the door.
Relax By The Pool
Before we show you the inside, you need to appreciate the outside first. The Bay area tends to become hot, especially in the region where this home sits. Something to combat that heat would be this miraculous swimming pool.
As you take a dip in the pool, you can enjoy the scenic views of the massive trees in front of you. If you aren't feeling the pool, the jacuzzi awaits. The sitting arrangement looks mighty comfortable.
Park Your Vehicle Securely
If you're able to afford this home, then chances are you have an expensive car too. If that's true, then the parking here should make you feel a bit safer.
Notice how below the roof of the garage there are two cameras. One camera sees who's coming in the distance, and another shows precisely who enters the immediate vicinity. Not too shabby. Plus, there is a long enough pathway to park multiple cars if the garage gets crowded.
The Outbuilding Leads To The Pool
Since there weren't many details released about this home, just the beautiful photos, we can't say for sure what's in this outbuilding. Antonio Brown posted photos of himself working out indoors with a trainer, so one smart guess would be that this is where he kept training equipment.
While that would make sense, it isn't the case. What's inside there is almost a complete private home, all set with a mini-kitchen and a few more amenities. We'll show you inside soon.
Guests Get A Nice Bathroom
First of all, if you're lucky enough to be a guest at a place like this, know that you'll have a pleasant experience. Not only will you have a safe area to park, but relieving yourself will be a treat.
The first thing you might notice in this guest bathroom is the spiral mirror. This is a really unique accent, so we're sure people will love it as they enter. The succulent is a nice touch as well.
Relax Before Getting Into The Pool
It's hard to imagine fancier living rooms than this one. The large glass sliding doors leading to the backyard pool are only one of the marvelous features. Take a glance at the fireplace under the 4K TV.
The couch looks fit for a king, and super-comfortable. When it's time for dinner, just pull out a chair and take a seat at the eight-person dining table while a chandelier illuminates your meal.
Prep Your Food Here
The first noticeable feature about this kitchen is that there is no refrigerator. That only means that there is another kitchen elsewhere in the home that will showcase soon.
For now, look in awe at this area. You have two sinks, so you aren't restricted when it comes to washing up. In this kitchen, there's a gas stovetop, as opposed to the electric type. You also have glass cabinet doors so you can see all your fine china.
A Place For The Adult Beverages
Down one hall, you'll run into this room. It looks like it's where you would hold all your adult beverages and possibly slippers for guests. Based on the photo, it's hard to tell where this room sits, but it mustn't be a far walk from one of the kitchens.
Whether you prefer a nice riesling or a pinot grigio, it looks like this fridge is the perfect storage place for them. Buy all the grownup liquids your heart desires!
Outside Loft Near The Pool
In case you thought you'd seen everything outside, think again. When you're finished doing flips and cannonballs into the pool, tip-toe over to this outdoor loft for some Netflix and chill.
Not only do you have a massive TV, but there's also a fireplace under it for those late nights outside. Hook up a gaming system and invite your company to play the latest game as you warm up in the jacuzzi. There are so many things to do out here.
Kitchen Number Two Isn't Bad
It looks like the second kitchen, or in this case, the first one, sits right at the entrance. This one only has one sink, but it does have a fridge.
Also in here is an electric stovetop, whereas the other had a gas stove. There's a breakfast bar for after you finish cooking up a delicious meal. The cool thing about this area is you have a view of outside with that window that's behind the sink.
Behind The Bar Stools
Remember that outbuilding we showed you earlier? Well, this is it. We suppose this is where Antonio would come when he needed time alone. It has everything a person at home would need.
You have a flatscreen TV, a massage chair, a comfortable couch, and a kitchen! Most people would be happy to have this outbuilding as their primary residence. Remember, there's a pathway leading right to the pool, so you can't go wrong with lounging in here.
The Outbuilding Bedroom
The outbuilding keeps getting better and better. Not only do you have an expensive massage chair to help alleviate the stress on your back, a fully stocked kitchen, and a massive TV, but you also have the option to fall asleep on a heavenly bed.
The private bedroom comes equipped with a door to the backyard, a bathroom, and one cozy bed. If Antonio Brown didn't force himself out of Oakland, we bet he would have loved it here.
The Master Bathroom
The master bathroom in any home, expensive or not, should be one of the best rooms in the house. It's where you spend time getting ready for the day and pampering yourself.
For starters, it looks like Brown had a waterfall shower head on the ceiling of the walk-in shower. That's a nice touch in addition to the bowl bathtub that sits on its own. Of course, if you didn't want to have a waterfall directly overhead, you could still take a regular shower.
The Walk-In Closet Is Massive
We weren't joking when we said Brown likes to wear lavish clothes, but we forgot to mention how vast his wardrobe is. What better place to hang and fold all of it than a massive walk-in closet?
This looks like the type a fashion designer would have. Multiple hanging rods, drawers, and shelves would love to have some Louis Vuitton on them. We're sure whoever lives here next will have a blast with all this closet space.
For The Kids
Let's not forget about the kids. Antonio Brown isn't the only one who has offspring running around the house. This room is simple and to the point, with a great view of outside, and any kids who move in here are sure to love it.
Naturally, you don't have to keep the bed that's pictured, but it looks like it's suitable for toddlers who have an interest in Star Wars. There's also a connecting bathroom that isn't in the frame, so let's take a look at that...
The Joint Bathroom
Don't forget that Brown had multiple kids, so getting a house that had rooms connected by a shared bathroom was a smart idea. It gives the kids a chance to have their own space, and if they wish to interact with their sibling, they're only a few steps away.
It looks like the bedroom that connects has a bed for an older kid, so the younger one can take it over after they grow up enough.
Clean Your Clothes In Here
This might look like a regular laundry room, because it is. You have your standard washer and dryer that probably each cost an arm and a leg. You also have your sink ready for action.
Above the sink is a rod for hanging clothes. We're willing to bet this is for when you wish to line dry an article of clothing. What goes inside those cabinets? You can feel free to throw some fresh linens in there.
A Different Look At The Master Bathroom
The first image we showed you of the master restroom looked posh, but this view takes it up a notch. For instance, there's a thermostat control in there, but we're going to bet it's for that room alone.
You have the option to use the sink closest to the toilet, or you could go for the one by the bathtub. The tile on the wall for the shower and floor is flawless as well. This is how you get ready for the day (or night).
Where The Magic Happens
The master bedroom might be the room that every homeowner inspects the longest before deciding to pull the trigger. In this case, when you have a view of the luscious backyard, a sitting chair, and a fur rug, it would be hard to turn that down.
It's like you're at a resort while you're still at home. While not everyone can afford to live like this, we can imagine those who can have put in the hard work necessary to deserve something of this caliber.
