Property Description
A TRUE MISSISSIPPI TREASURE — THE PRIESTLEY HOME. Few homes in Mississippi can rival the history, character, and grandeur of The Priestley Home. Ideally located just one block south of the heart of Canton, this extraordinary 1852 residence is a beautifully restored example of Southern architecture and craftsmanship, offering the rare opportunity to own a piece of Mississippi history while enjoying the comforts of a thoughtfully updated home. Originally built by Dr. James Priestley, the home began with four rooms, a grand staircase, and its iconic front porch. Over the years, additional rooms and wings were added, creating the remarkable residence it is today. The current owners have undertaken a meticulous restoration, preserving the home's historic integrity while incorporating modern conveniences. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from historically appropriate hardware and reclaimed original dining room doors to the restoration of the grand staircase, original architectural elements, floors, walls, ceilings, and windows. Structural improvements include new piers, a steel-beam foundation, and a long-life metal roof. The result is nothing short of spectacular. The home features four gracious bedrooms, each with a working fireplace and generous closet space, along with four beautifully appointed baths featuring clawfoot tubs, separate walk-in showers, and classic wainscoting. Elegant formal spaces include a dining room, music room, parlor, library, and office, while the spacious screened sunroom and sleeping porch provide inviting places to relax and entertain. The period-inspired kitchen combines the charm of the home's original character with the modern amenities today's homeowners expect. Outside, the approximately one-acre grounds are equally impressive, with mature hardwoods, lush flowerbeds, established regional perennials, a charming herb garden just off the kitchen, a terrace, greenhouse, and pool. The expansive front porch and beautifully landscaped setting create the quintessential Southern atmosphere and offer countless opportunities for entertaining or simply enjoying the beauty and tranquility of this remarkable property. Recognized by the Mississippi Historic Trust for Outstanding Restoration, The Priestley Home represents an extraordinary commitment to preserving Mississippi's architectural heritage. With its impeccable restoration, exceptional craftsmanship, rich history, and beautifully maintained grounds, this is far more than a home—it is a legacy property and a truly special piece of Canton history. Extensive photographs and documentation of the restoration are available upon request. A rare opportunity to own one of Mississippi's most distinguished historic homes.
