I would go with "...the Browns."
If it it meant to be "...the Browns' (with home understood), then the apostrophe would come after the 's' (which makes it plural). It's the home of the Browns, not he home of the Brown.

Oh yes- I stand corrected- silly me!
It's a nominative plural of course, therefore no apostrophe!! I'm sorry.
