In season 26, episode 5 of House Hunters International, we meet Cabell and Wende, who are seeking a pied a terre and investment property in the heart of Paris. Cabell is an architect and has always had a love for French architecture, so he is eager to find the perfect property. Wende, on the other hand, is concerned about finding a place that is not only beautiful but also practical for their needs.
The couple is originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, but they have both spent time living in various parts of Europe. They have now decided to make Paris their new home base and plan to divide their time between Paris and their home in the United States. However, finding the perfect home in the city of love is proving to be more difficult than they anticipated.
During their search, the couple views several properties that catch their eye, but none of them seem to be exactly what they are looking for. One apartment that they view is in the heart of Paris and has beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower, but it is quite small and would not work for their needs. Another apartment is much larger and has a beautiful terrace, but it is located outside of the city and is not ideal for a pied a terre.
As the couple continues their search, they come across a beautiful apartment in the 6th arrondissement. The apartment has a classic French feel and features high ceilings and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The location is ideal, as it is situated in the heart of Paris and is close to many of the city's cultural attractions.
While the apartment is beautiful, Cabell and Wende are hesitant to make an offer as they are concerned about the amount of work that needs to be done to the space. The couple is hoping to find a property that is move-in-ready, as they do not have the time or energy to oversee major renovations.
After much thought and consideration, Cabell and Wende decide to make an offer on the apartment in the 6th arrondissement. While the property may require more work than they had hoped, they are certain that it is the perfect pied a terre and investment property for them.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters International showcases the challenges that come with finding the perfect home in a bustling city like Paris. From the desire for historical charm to the need for modern amenities, Cabell and Wende's journey highlights the importance of finding the right balance when searching for a new home.
