As soon as the episode starts, we are introduced to a young couple, Bonnie and Don, who are relocating to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both of them are passionate about gymnastics, which is why they want to find the perfect home that has a large basement or living room where they can practice their sport and teach classes to aspiring gymnasts. Minneapolis is known for its extreme winter weather conditions, which means that an indoor space for gymnastics is essential.
The couple has a budget of $450,000 and is looking for a three-bedroom house, preferably in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Bonnie is a real estate agent herself, which means that she has a good idea of what she wants in a house and where to search for it.
The first house that the couple visits is a modern home in a new development. The house seems to have everything that Bonnie and Don are looking for, including a finished basement that can be easily converted into a gymnastics studio. However, as they take a closer look, they realize that the layout of the house is not ideal for their needs. The living room is too small, and the ceilings are too low, making it impossible to do flips or other gymnastics moves.
The second house that the couple visits is an older home in the suburbs. The house has a lot of charm, but as soon as they get inside, they realize that it needs a lot of work. The basement is not finished, which means that they would have to invest a considerable amount of money to convert it into a gymnastics studio. Bonnie and Don are unsure if they want to take on such a big project, but they are still considering it as an option.
The third and final house that the couple visits is a beautiful split-level home in a quiet neighborhood. As soon as they walk in, they notice that the living room has high ceilings, which would allow them to practice gymnastics comfortably. The basement is also finished and has space for a studio. The house has three bedrooms, which is what they were looking for, and it is located in the suburbs, which gives them easy access to the city. Bonnie and Don are immediately smitten with the house and decide to make an offer.
In the end, they close the deal on the third house for $440,000, which leaves them some money to renovate the basement and turn it into a perfect gymnastics studio. The couple is thrilled to have found the perfect home that will allow them to keep practicing and sharing their passion with others. The episode ends with Bonnie and Don settling into their new home and eagerly awaiting their first class in their new gymnastics studio.
