Happy Birthday Sweet 16!
Happy Birthday Sweet 16!
Oh to be sixteen again! Well, not really, but it's what everybody says - before they think. And of course, the media during its occasional fits of boredom, loves to think that daddy buys this mansion for his daughter's 16th birthday, hands her the keys and says, "Happy birthday, sweetie! See ya!"
Well, much to the disappointment of the creators of juicy headlines such as, "Most Surprising Real Estate Sale of the Century", . . it didn't really happen quite that way. Actually the way it did happen is so much better and may actually be the Most Heart-Warming Sale of the Century! In fact, this columned southern mansion has been given as a surprise gift of love twice. It must be a home of great karma.
At the young age of 5 months old, Kevyn Brooke lost her mother. All during her formative years she was raised between her father and both grandparents. It must have been difficult to establish a normal routine for living being moved from place to place, even between those who love you so much. From the time she was 10 years old, every time Kevyn and her dad would pass by the Belle Nora mansion, Kevyn would tell her dad, "You should buy that house for me!" But her longings did put a seed in his head, and when he started thinking about buying a home where the two could live together during Kevyn's teenage years, he remembered her love of Belle Nora. It happened that the current owner's wife had died and it was time for him to sell the house. He had given it to his wife as a surprise gift years ago. The purchase was made in secret and on Kevyn's 16th birthday, dad took her to the house with its big pink ribbon on the door and presented her with the keys! Inside, the former owner told her the history of giving the home as a gift to his wife.
We know Kevyn and her dad will have many happy years together here where she will be able to invite her friends for sleep-overs and come down the beautiful stairwell in her first formal gown. One day, of course, the home will be just hers, but for now it will be her and her dad's first family home together since she was 5 months old!
