House Hunters International Season 120 Episode 1 The Purr-fect Home in Ghent

House Hunters International season 120 episode 1 titled "The Purr-fect Home in Ghent" follows a couple named Mark and Emily as they seek their dream home in the beautiful city of Ghent, Belgium. The episode starts with the couple sharing their initial excitement about moving to Ghent, a city they both find charming and full of character. With Mark being a consultant and Emily a freelance writer, they are looking for a home that combines comfortable living with accessible workspaces.

As the couple starts their search, they are shown several beautiful properties, each with unique features that appeal to them. However, they are quickly faced with the challenge of finding a home that accommodates their beloved cat, Peanut. Peanut is a large and curious feline who requires outdoor access and plenty of space to roam. The search becomes more challenging as they must find a cat-friendly home that also meets their budget and lifestyle requirements.

The first property they view is a spacious two-bedroom penthouse apartment with plenty of light and a modern open kitchen. Although Mark is impressed with the apartment, Emily is concerned that it may not be a suitable home for Peanut as there is no outdoor space for him to explore. While they both appreciate the building's amenities, Emily states that it isn't a "Peanut-friendly" home.

In the second property, the couple is shown a garden apartment with a private courtyard. Emily is immediately drawn to the outdoor space, which she feels would be perfect for Peanut. The apartment has an open living area with a fireplace and plenty of natural light, which Mark finds appealing. However, the couple becomes disappointed when they discover that the apartment is over their budget.

At the third property, the couple views a two-bedroom townhouse with a charming garden in the center of town. The house has a cozy living area complete with a fireplace, which is perfect for Emily's freelance writing. However, as they explore the bedrooms, they quickly realize that the home may not be suitable for Peanut as there is no outdoor access. Mark and Emily feel that the townhouse doesn't fully meet their criteria, but they keep the property in mind as a potential option.

The fourth property they view is a three-bedroom classical apartment with an expansive living area and a spacious terrace. The terrace is perfect for Peanut to explore and enjoy the fresh air. Emily is immediately impressed with the large kitchen, which would be ideal for her cooking. Mark, on the other hand, finds the space to be slightly outdated and in need of renovation. The couple decides to keep the property in consideration but expresses that they may need to factor in extra renovation costs.

In the end, the couple decides to put in an offer on the second property, the garden apartment with a private courtyard, despite it being over budget. They feel that the outdoor space is necessary for Peanut and the apartment's overall charm is worth the extra cost. With negotiations happening, the episode ends with the couple eager to become the new residents of the purr-fect home in Ghent.
