In House Hunters season 2015 episode 118 titled Character vs. Cookie-Cutter in Columbus, OH, we follow a couple as they navigate the tricky waters of house hunting in a top-rated city in the mid-west. The couple is made up of Maggie, a school teacher, and her husband Brian, a software developer, who have been renting an apartment in the city for a while and are now ready to buy their own home.
While the couple is excited to start this new chapter of their lives, they quickly realize that it won't be an easy task. Columbus, OH, has been a growing city and has seen plenty of new housing developments that are all beautiful and cookie-cutter in design. While the new houses can be very tempting, they don't have the character and charm of older homes. The couple has to decide if they want a new home that is move-in ready or an older home that needs work but has significant character.
One thing the couple agrees on is that they love the Victorian-style homes that are present in the city, and they want to find one that fits their budget. The couple's real estate agent shows them a variety of homes in different areas, but the two don't seem to agree completely. While Maggie is drawn to well-maintained vintage homes in the area, Brian is more interested in new homes that offer a range of amenities, such as a community pool and a gym. Ultimately, they have to decide between a vintage home with lots of character or a modern, cookie-cutter home.
One home that stands out to Maggie is an older home located in the charming Clintonville neighborhood. The home has some original features such as stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and a beautiful wrap-around porch. The couple is impressed with the home, but they worry about the price and the potential for extensive renovations. Nonetheless, they appreciate the home's charm and the unique features that provide a cozy atmosphere. On the other hand, Brian seems to prefer a different option.
Brian is impressed with a newly-constructed home that features modern finishes and appliances. The house is located in a new development and has a gym, swimming pool, and other amenities in the area. While Brian is excited about the prospect of a new home, Maggie is not sure if the home offers enough character or whether they are willing to give up the unique architecture that comes with an older home.
As the episode proceeds, we see Maggie and Brian struggle to come to a decision. They are torn between a new and furnished house or an older home with more character, and they both have different priorities. Despite their discussion, they are unable to come to a conclusion, and the episode ends on an exciting cliffhanger. Viewers will have to tune in to see what decision the couple makes and which home they eventually choose.
