Love the exterior of this home and I can’t believe the price! There is a lot going on inside this home with the decor, but if you can look beyond that, the home has a some great features! The Brown House was built in 1886. It is located in Quincy, Illinois. The home features a covered front porch, original hardwood floors, grand staircase with beautiful newel post, stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, original fretwork, mantels and pocket doors. First thing I would do is get the carpeting off the stairs. The home has a new roof. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,033 square feet. $149,000
