House Hunters Season 2014 Episode 160 Family Looks for Historic Charmer in Kansas City

In this episode of House Hunters, a family is on the hunt for a historic home in Kansas City. The couple, Kristen and Jeremy, are eager for a home with character, charm, and unique features. Kristen envisions a home with original woodwork, stained glass windows, and a cozy fireplace. On the other hand, Jeremy is more concerned with modern amenities like a spacious kitchen and updated bathrooms.

Their first stop is a 100-year-old home in the Westwood neighborhood. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and lots of original features. The house has a large covered front porch, a spacious living room with a stone fireplace, and a dining room with a built-in hutch. While Kristen is enchanted by the original features and history of the home, Jeremy is disturbed by the small kitchen and lack of closet space. The couple ultimately decides that the house needs too much work to fit their needs.

Next, they visit a 1920s Tudor style house in the Brookside neighborhood. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and plenty of space for their family. As they tour the home, they're immediately impressed by its beautiful woodwork, leaded glass windows, and original hardware. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but it still maintains the vintage charm of the era. The balcony off the master bedroom overlooks a large backyard that would be perfect for their kids to play in. Although the home needs some minor updates, Kristen and Jeremy are ready to submit an offer.

Their final stop is a 1920s bungalow in the Waldo neighborhood. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of original charm. The leaded glass windows, coffered ceiling in the dining room, and brick fireplace in the living room immediately catch their eye. The updated kitchen has wood cabinets, granite countertops, and modern appliances. The backyard has a deck and enough space for a vegetable garden. While they love the home, they're hesitant about the location and the fact that there's only one full bathroom for their growing family.

In the end, Kristen and Jeremy choose to make an offer on the Tudor style house in the Brookside neighborhood. Its combination of charm and practicality make it the perfect fit for their family. They're thrilled to be a part of the vibrant and historic Brookside community with access to great schools, parks, and local businesses. This episode of House Hunters showcases the importance of balancing historic charm with modern amenities and finding the perfect home for a growing family.
