Anna and Ben have lived in Buffalo for their entire lives, but they're ready for a change. They've decided to move down south to Greenville, South Carolina in hopes of starting a family and enjoying the warmer climate. However, with a tight budget of $300,000, they know they'll have to be strategic in their house hunting.
The couple's list of must-haves includes a spacious backyard for their two dogs, a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and a separate area that can be used as a home office. Anna and Ben have different opinions on the style of their future home, with Anna favoring Victorian-style houses while Ben prefers modern designs.
Their realtor, Heather, makes it a point to show them different styles of homes in different neighborhoods, including the historic West Greenville area and the new development of Hollingsworth Park.
The first house they visit is a beautiful two-story Victorian-style home with a white picket fence and a wide front porch. Inside, they find original hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace. While Anna is in love with the charming details, Ben notices that there isn't a suitable area for his home office.
The second house is located in a modern development. It has an open floor plan with lots of natural light and a back deck that overlooks a small pond. While Ben is excited about the modern amenities, Anna doesn't feel as connected to the house because of the lack of historic character.
The third house is in the West Greenville neighborhood, which has a mix of old and new homes and a vibrant arts scene. This house is a beautiful craftsman-style bungalow with bright blue shutters and a large front porch. Inside, they find a recently renovated kitchen and an extra room that could be used as a home office. Both Anna and Ben love the charming details of this house and the location close to restaurants and galleries.
After the house tours, Anna and Ben are torn between the Victorian-style house and the craftsman-style bungalow. While they love the character of the Victorian, they know the location of the bungalow will give them a better quality of life. Ultimately, they decide to make an offer on the bungalow and happily move forward with their new life in Greenville.
Overall, the episode showcases the couple's journey to find their dream home in a new city, while balancing their individual preferences and budget. The realtor's inclusion of different neighborhoods and styles of houses emphasizes the importance of finding the right location and the right fit for the couple's lifestyle.
