House Hunters Season 2013 Episode 114 Young D.C. Couple Debates Merits of a Single Family Home vs. Townhouse

In the 114th episode of House Hunters season 2013, a young couple currently residing in Washington D.C, debates between purchasing a single-family home or a townhouse. The couple, who have been renting an apartment for several years, are ready to take the step into homeownership. However, they need to find the perfect house that fits their budget and preferences.

The episode begins with the couple, Rachel and David, discussing their needs and desires in a new home. Rachel is an attorney and David is a software engineer, and the couple has a combined budget of $800,000. They both agree on a few must-have features for their new home, such as an open floor plan, natural light and outdoor space. But they disagree on the type of property they want to purchase. Rachel prefers a single-family home with a yard, while David prefers a townhouse with less upkeep.

The couple enlists the help of a real estate agent, who begins by showing them a few single-family homes in their preferred neighborhood. They tour a cozy bungalow that is over budget and a larger, modern home that has all the features they desire. However, the yard is smaller than what Rachel envisioned, and the couple agrees to keep looking.

Next, they tour a few townhouses in the same neighborhood. They visit a spacious three-story townhouse with a rooftop deck and a large outdoor patio. This townhouse has everything David wants including low maintenance, and also has enough space for their future family. Rachel, however, is disappointed with the lack of a yard and wonders if they would feel cramped in such close quarters.

The couple's real estate agent takes them to another neighborhood where they can get more space for their budget. They look at a sprawling single-family home with plenty of outdoor space, a gorgeous staircase, finished basement with a wine cellar and fireplace. It is clear that Rachel is enamored with the home and is ready to put in an offer. However, David is still considering the townhouse, which would be less maintenance and has the communal space he desires.

Finally, the couple tours a newer townhouse in the same neighborhood as the single-family home, with plenty of square footage, an open floor plan and a large back deck. Rachel is impressed with the storage options and outdoor space, but David expresses concerns that the street is too busy.

After seeing several properties in different neighborhoods, Rachel and David must weigh their options and come to a decision. Each property has its challenges and advantages, and they must determine what is most important to them. They discuss their options with their real estate agent and take a day to think it over.

In the end, the couple must make a decision that will suit their lifestyle, budget and future plans. House Hunters season 2013 episode 114 leaves the viewers wondering which option the couple will choose, and how it will meet their needs and preferences.
