House Hunters Season 2013 Episode 151 How Far Will a Million Dollars Go in Manhattan Beach?

In this episode of House Hunters, we follow a couple who are looking to buy a new home in Manhattan Beach, California with a budget of one million dollars. Manhattan Beach is a desirable location due to its proximity to the beach and the bustling city of Los Angeles, which makes it a highly competitive housing market.

The couple has specific requirements for their new home, such as a minimum of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an updated kitchen. They also want a backyard space for entertaining guests and a garage for their cars. They are willing to compromise on some of their wants, but they refuse to budge on their budget.

The first property they visit is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house located in the Tree section of Manhattan Beach. The house boasts an updated kitchen and a spacious backyard but has only a one-car garage. The couple likes the house, but they are concerned that it is not located in their desired district.

The next property they visit is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house located in the Sand section of Manhattan Beach. The house has a two-car garage, an updated kitchen and is within the desired school district. However, the house is not move-in ready, and it would require extensive renovations, which could push them over budget.

The third property they visit is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house located in the Hill section of Manhattan Beach. The house has an outdoor living space, ample parking, and a stunning view of the ocean. However, the house is significantly smaller than the other two properties, and they would need to compromise on the number of bedrooms and a garage.

After considering all three properties, the couple deliberates on their decision. The first property was in their desired district, but it was not move-in ready, and it lacked a two-car garage. The second property was within the desired district and had a two-car garage, but it needed extensive renovations. The third property had a stunning view and outdoor living space, but it was significantly smaller than the other two properties.

In the end, the couple decides to go with the second property, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house located in the Sand section of Manhattan Beach. Despite the necessary renovations, they felt that it was the best value for their money. They plan to update the house to their liking, and they are excited to start their new life in Manhattan Beach.
