In this episode of House Hunters International, viewers are taken on a journey to Brussels, Belgium. The episode focuses on an American couple, Alex and Kelly, who have decided to relocate to the bustling city of Brussels for Alex's job. With a budget of €450,000, the couple is looking for a spacious home with a central location and easy access to public transportation.
The episode begins with the couple meeting their real estate agent, Roxanne, who gives them a tour of the first property on their list. The property is a charming two-bedroom apartment located in the heart of Brussels. The couple is immediately impressed with the property’s location and its classic Belgian architecture. They are particularly enamored with the high ceilings and large windows, which give the property an airy and bright feel. However, the apartment is slightly over budget, and the couple is hesitant to stretch their finances too thin.
The couple moves on to the next property, a three-bedroom townhouse located in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Brussels. Although the property is a bit farther from the city center than they would like, they are impressed with the ample living space and the modern finishes throughout the home. The couple can easily see themselves starting a family in this spacious and tranquil home.
The third property Roxanne shows the couple is a newly renovated two-bedroom apartment in a trendy part of Brussels. The apartment is modern, sleek, and filled with high-end features. The couple enjoys the property’s open-concept floor plan and expansive windows that offer stunning views of the city. However, the apartment is slightly smaller than the couple would prefer, and they have concerns about the lack of outdoor space.
Throughout the episode, the couple grapples with various factors that could ultimately impact their decision. They discuss the importance of having enough space for future children, as well as their desire to live in a safe and secure neighborhood. They also debate the merits of living in a central location versus a quieter suburb on the outskirts of the city.
In the end, the couple must choose between the various properties they have seen. They weigh the pros and cons of each one carefully, trying to come to a decision that will satisfy both of their needs. Ultimately, they make a decision that they feel is right for them and are excited to start their new lives in their new home in Brussels.
