- August 20, 2012
In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a couple, Sarah and Sean, as they make the decision to move back to Dublin, Ireland after several years living abroad. Sarah, originally from the US, and Sean, a Dublin native, are excited to start this new chapter in their lives and find their perfect home.
The couple has several requirements for their new place, including a spacious kitchen, plenty of natural light, and a central location in Dublin. They also have a budget of around €500,000 (approximately $585,000 USD).
Their realtor, Orla, shows them three different properties, each with its own unique charm and selling points. The first is a renovated two-bedroom apartment in the trendy Portobello neighborhood. Although smaller than their other options, the apartment boasts sleek modern finishes and a location ideal for walking to cafes, restaurants, and parks.
Next, they view a three-bedroom townhouse in the charming neighborhood of Rathmines. With a cozy fireplace and plenty of character, the house has a warm and welcoming feel. Sarah and Sean also love the private garden and proximity to local shops and pubs.
Finally, they tour a stunning three-bedroom apartment in the highly sought-after Docklands. The space is modern and spacious, with an open concept living area and breathtaking views of the River Liffey. While it is at the higher end of their budget, both Sarah and Sean are impressed by its luxurious amenities and location near the city center.
As they weigh their options, the couple must also consider the practicalities of their move. They discuss the logistics of getting their possessions shipped over from the US and the steps they need to take to establish themselves in their new home country.
Ultimately, Sarah and Sean must make the tough decision of which property to choose. With each option having its pros and cons, they must decide which home checks the most boxes and makes them feel most at home. As they make their final choice, the couple is excited to begin their new chapter in the city they both love.
