House Hunters Season 2014 Episode 19 Austin Couple Downsizes to a Smaller Home
- February 12, 2014
An Austin couple is on the hunt for a smaller home to downsize into. They currently live in a large house with plenty of space for their family, but now that the kids have moved out, they no longer need that much space. They want to downsize to a smaller home that is more manageable and easier to maintain.
The couple has a budget of $400,000 to work with and wants to be located in a desirable part of Austin that is close to restaurants and entertainment. They want a two-bedroom house with an open concept living area and a low-maintenance yard.
The couple starts their search by looking at a modern two-bedroom condo that is located in the heart of downtown Austin. The condo has an open floor plan and a stunning view of the city, but it is much smaller than what the couple is used to. Next, they look at a two-bedroom house in a neighborhood that is known for its great schools. The house has a large yard and a spacious living area, but it is located farther from the city center than they would like.
The couple continues their search and looks at a two-bedroom house that is located in a trendy part of Austin. The house has a modern feel and is close to many restaurants and entertainment options, but the yard is small and may require a lot of maintenance. They also look at a two-bedroom house that is located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to a park. The house has a large yard and plenty of natural light, but it needs some updates.
After seeing several properties, the couple is torn between two houses. One is a modern two-bedroom condo that is located in the city center, and the other is a two-bedroom house in a quiet neighborhood with a large yard. While the condo is smaller, it has a stunning view of the city and is located near many restaurants and entertainment options. The house has a larger yard and is more secluded, but it requires some updates.
In the end, the couple chooses the house in the quiet neighborhood. They love the large yard and the natural light that comes in through the windows. They see the potential in the house's need for some updates and are excited to make it their own. The couple is happy to have downsized to a smaller home that is more manageable and easier to maintain while still being close to all that Austin has to offer.
