After a long search, the happy couple from Season 2 of HGTV’s Home Town has finally found their dream home—or rather, it found them. Fans of the series remember that Danielle and Jay fell in love with the historic cottage on Old Country Road in Brandon, Mississippi, in Season 2. Now, three years later, the owners have decided to move closer to family and put their beloved piece of Americana up for sale again.
Why We Love It
Lydia and her family had never dreamed they would find a historic house so soon into their home search. It has been lovingly restored, with classic features mixed with modern conveniences. And the history in this home is spectacular: it was originally built in 1854 before the Civil War even began.
The builder was William Ellison, who built dozens of homes on both sides of the river to try to encourage economic growth during this era. What you might not know about Ellison is that he was one of the wealthiest men in town, but chose to build for working-class families like Lydia’s. What an amazing legacy! But if you don’t want to live with ghosts (or want to avoid any more bad luck), we can help with that. We just need a little bit more information about what YOU are looking for, then we can get started. Contact us today and let us help you find your perfect home.
