Brett and Travis are on the hunt for a historic home in the charming city of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. With a budget of $350,000, they're eager to find a property with character and history that they can put their own stamp on. They're hoping for a home with at least three bedrooms, a spacious yard for their dog, and plenty of original features that will make it unique.
Their real estate agent shows them three options that fit the bill. The first is a beautiful Victorian-style home that's been impeccably maintained over the years. It features original woodwork and stained glass windows, along with a stunning wraparound porch. The interior is spacious and boasts three bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and a large backyard. The house is listed at $325,000, leaving plenty of room in the budget for any necessary renovations.
The second property they visit is a charming Craftsman-style home located in a desirable downtown neighborhood. It features a mix of original and updated details, including a cozy fireplace and a modernized kitchen. The backyard is beautifully landscaped and includes a deck and a hot tub. The home is listed at $345,000, leaving Brett and Travis a bit less room in their budget for any future projects.
Finally, they tour a unique home that's unlike anything they've seen before. The property was once a Catholic church, but has since been converted into a stunning residence. The interior boasts soaring ceilings and intricate stained glass windows, as well as a stunning modern kitchen and an attached garage. While the property is priced at the higher end of their budget at $349,000, the potential for a truly one-of-a-kind home is enticing.
Throughout the episode, Brett and Travis weigh the pros and cons of each property. They're drawn to the charm and character of the Victorian home, but worry about the potentially high maintenance costs associated with an older property. They love the location and style of the Craftsman home, but wonder if it has enough space for their growing family. And while the church conversion is certainly unique, they question whether it's the right fit for their lifestyle.
Ultimately, Brett and Travis must decide which property checks all the boxes on their wish list. Will they opt for the historic charm of the Victorian home, the downtown convenience of the Craftsman, or the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the church conversion? Tune in to find out.
