Home built by Jane Austen's brother is up for sale

The house built on property where Jane Austen experienced many milestones is up for sale.

The current Steventon House in Hampshire, England, was built by Austen's brother Edward; it replaced a smaller home elsewhere in which the author was born and drafted some of her most famous work: Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Sense and Sensibility.

(The novels were finished and published while Austen lived elsewhere.)

This new (or "new") Steventon House is listed at £8,500,000 ($10,009,600); you can admire photos of it on the real estate website and read more about the area's Austen connection in Town & Country.
