About 721 Main Street
Own a piece of Nebraska history! Built in 1867, the same year Nebraska became a state, this distinctive 1 1/2-story home stands in historic Brownville, a Missouri River community founded in 1854. Offering 1,142 sq. ft. of above-grade living space plus a full basement, the home blends period character with updates. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a center island and modern appliances, while wood floors, tall windows, sloped upper-level ceilings and a skylight add warmth and architectural interest. Step outside to a remarkable two-level covered porch and balcony overlooking a spacious yard shaded by mature trees. Exposed stone walls, established stonework and the historic setting create an atmosphere rarely found in newer homes. Well maintained through the years, the property still offers opportunities for personal touches and continued improvement. An uncommon opportunity for those drawn to historic architecture, peaceful surroundings and the timeless charm of Brownville.
