A couple from Southern California, USA, is ready to start fresh in the bustling city of Dublin, Ireland. With busy careers, they are hoping to find a spacious and modern home close to the city center. The husband is particularly drawn to the charm of older buildings, but the wife prefers a home that is move-in ready. Their budget is limited but they are willing to compromise, so real estate agent Karen takes them on a whirlwind tour of three different properties that she believes could meet their needs and wants.
The first property is a charming one-bedroom apartment located in a densely-populated area of Dublin. The building is older and has lots of character, but the unit itself is lately renovated and has modern appliances and amenities. The husband is excited by the prospect of living in such a historic building, but the wife is concerned about the lack of space and storage. They both appreciate the apartment's proximity to public transportation, shopping, and dining options.
The second property is a two-bedroom apartment in a modern building near the city center. It has a more open floor plan and plenty of closet space, which appeals to the wife. The husband likes that it has a balcony with a view of the river. However, the unit's design is not quite to his taste, and he points out several minor things that he would like to have changed to make it feel more like home. The couple weighs the unit's location and amenities against the need for some minor improvements and decide that the place has potential.
For the third property, Karen takes the couple to a spacious three-bedroom townhouse just outside of Dublin. It has a private yard and lots of room for guests or entertaining. The husband is impressed by the amount of space, and the wife is pleased that it is move-in ready. However, the location is further from the city center than they had originally wanted, and it doesn't offer the same level of convenience as the other two properties.
After viewing all three properties, the couple sits down with Karen to weigh the pros and cons of each one. They consider the cost, location, convenience, space, and potential for customization. They ultimately decide on one of the properties and are excited to start their new life in Dublin.
