House Hunters Season 106 Episode 136 Chicago Couple Debates Contemporary Vs. Vintage

House Hunters season 106 episode 136 features a Chicago couple who are in the market for a new home and must decide between a contemporary or vintage style. The couple, Jeremy and Lindsay, have been living in a rental apartment for some time and are ready to find their forever home. Both have their own style preferences, with Jeremy leaning towards contemporary and Lindsay preferring vintage. With a budget of $500,000, the couple begins their search for a home that they both can agree on.

The episode begins with a brief introduction of the couple, where they discuss their preferences for the home they want to purchase. Jeremy wants a modern home with clean lines and open spaces, while Lindsay is looking for a home with charm and character from another era. The couple has a real estate agent who will help them navigate the Chicago housing market as they look at different types of homes.

Their first home is a contemporary-style condo located in the trendy West Loop neighborhood. This home features sleek and modern finishes, such as stainless steel appliances, white walls, and large windows that provide ample natural light. Jeremy is immediately drawn to this home and likes its modern feel, but Lindsay is not convinced. She thinks the home feels too sterile and lacks character. The couple moves on to their next choice.

The second home they visit is a vintage-style apartment located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. This apartment is in a historic building and features unique details, such as intricate woodwork, stained glass windows, and a built-in bookcase. Lindsay loves the charm of this home and can envision the family living there, but Jeremy has concerns about the lack of updated features and modern amenities. As they leave, they are both unsure if this is the right home for them.

The third home they visit is a newly renovated vintage-style home located in the North Center neighborhood. This home combines vintage charm with modern amenities, such as a gourmet kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a finished basement. The couple seems to be on the same page with this home, as they both love the vintage feel but appreciate the updated features. However, the property is over their budget, so they continue their search.

Their search continues with a visit to a modern-style townhome located in the Bucktown neighborhood. This home features clean lines and minimalistic design, similar to the first home they visited. Jeremy is impressed with the home's modern features, while Lindsay feels that it is too plain and lacks character. They agree that the home isn't a good fit for them and move on to their next option.

The fifth home they visit is a vintage-style house located in the Old Irving Park neighborhood. This home features a Tudor-style exterior, with a vintage interior that includes leaded glass windows, arched doorways, and a wood-burning fireplace. Lindsay loves the character of this home, but Jeremy is concerned about the dated features and the potential cost of updating them. They are still unsure if this home is the right fit for them.

As the episode progresses, the couple must make a decision about the type of home that they want to purchase. While Lindsay prefers vintage charm, Jeremy likes modern design. They must find a middle ground and agree on a home that satisfies both of their preferences. After visiting several homes, the couple finally finds their dream home that has the perfect balance of vintage charm and modern style.
