The day Trey and Abby Brothers brought their first-born baby home was extra-special. Their son has started life in a rambling 109-year-old mansion – but his parents aren’t super rich; they’re just smart.
Trey, 33, works in information technology, and Abby, 31, is a registered nurse. They purchased the 6,000-square-foot, six-bedroom mansion in Aberdeen, North Carolina, for $155,000. Built for wealthy industrialists the Page-Wilder family in 1913, the brick colonial revival mansion had stacks of original features. When Trey and Abby—now its third owners—began work, they took great care to preserve as much as possible.
