Champagne Taste on a Sparkling Wine Budget in Georgia follows a young couple, Sarah and Tyler, as they search for their first home in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur. With a budget of $250,000, they hope to find a charming, move-in ready home with character and modern amenities.
The episode begins with a tour of Sarah and Tyler's current, rental apartment. They note the cramped layout, outdated appliances, and lack of natural light as some of the reasons they are eager to find a new home. The couple has done their research and knows which neighborhoods they want to focus on, but quickly realize that their budget may not stretch as far as they hoped.
The first home they tour is a small, two-bedroom bungalow in the Oakhurst neighborhood. While the home has some original features, such as hardwood floors and crown molding, it is also in need of some major updates. Sarah and Tyler are impressed with the home's potential, but are hesitant to take on a fixer-upper project as first-time homebuyers.
The next home they tour is a spacious, three-bedroom ranch in the popular Decatur Heights neighborhood. The home has been completely renovated and boasts a modern, open-concept layout. The couple loves the updated kitchen and fenced-in backyard, but feel that the home lacks character and charm.
Their third and final home is a four-bedroom, colonial-style home in the historic Winnona Park neighborhood. The home features a grand staircase, original fireplaces, and a large porch perfect for entertaining. While the home is stunning, it is also well over their budget at $300,000. They consider making an offer but ultimately decide that they would be uncomfortable stretching their budget that far.
In the end, Sarah and Tyler choose the updated ranch in Decatur Heights. They feel that the home provides the perfect balance of modern amenities and affordability. The episode ends with a tour of their new home, which they have decorated with a mix of new and vintage finds to give it some character and charm.
