S2E5 9.2
A Quiet Place to Call Home

After renting his whole life, a local pastor is ready to settle down in a house that will give him enough space for his cooking and gardening hobbies. Ben and Erin show him two options -- The Lindsey House shows a lot of potential with its charming, brick exterior and spacious kitchen, but the low-priced McRae House gives them a lot of room for imagination. Ben and Erin give the house a Creole cottage makeover, adding bright colors and a cozy study as well as a spectacular chef's kitchen and a custom-built gardening bench.

Small Town Sophistication

A couple that's moving back to Mississippi is looking for a spacious home for under $260,000 where they can host friends and throw parties.
