House Hunters Season 2 Episode 15 Couple Seeks City Co-Op

In this episode of House Hunters, we follow a couple as they search for the perfect city co-op in New York. The couple, Mark and Emily, are searching for a two-bedroom co-op that is close to public transportation and has a good amount of natural light.

The couple is currently renting in Brooklyn and they are ready to purchase their first home together. Mark is a lawyer and Emily is a nurse, so they have a combined budget of $900,000. They are looking for a co-op that is move-in ready, but they are open to doing some cosmetic updates.

Their real estate agent shows them three different co-ops in their preferred neighborhoods, which are all located in Manhattan.

The first co-op they view is a two-bedroom with stunning views of the city skyline. The building has a doorman and an elevator, which are both features that the couple wants. The apartment has high ceilings and a lot of natural light, but there is no outdoor space. Mark and Emily love the apartment, but they are concerned about the price. The asking price is $950,000, which is $50,000 over their budget.

The second co-op they view is a two-bedroom in a historic building located in the West Village. The apartment has original details, such as exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. The building has a roof deck, which is a huge plus for the couple. However, the apartment only has one bathroom, which is a concern for them. The asking price for this co-op is $875,000, which is within their budget.

The third co-op they view is a two-bedroom in a newly constructed building in the Upper East Side. The apartment has an open kitchen and living area, which is perfect for entertaining guests. There is a lot of natural light in the apartment and it has a balcony with views of Central Park. The building has a fitness center and a playroom, which is a plus for the couple who may want to start a family in the future. The asking price is $895,000, which is also within their budget.

After viewing all three co-ops, the couple has a tough decision to make. They love the views in the first co-op, the historic details of the second co-op, and the amenities of the third co-op.

In the end, Mark and Emily decide to make an offer on the third co-op in the newly constructed building. They love the location, amenities, and open layout of the apartment. They are also excited about the prospect of starting a family in the future and having access to the playroom and fitness center.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the challenges of finding a city co-op in an expensive and competitive real estate market. Mark and Emily had to make difficult decisions based on their budget, needs, and wants. In the end, they found the perfect home for them and their future.
