House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 151 Victorian Vs. Ranch Style Homes in Davis, California

In season 2016, episode 151 of House Hunters, titled "Victorian Vs. Ranch Style Homes in Davis, California," viewers are taken to the city of Davis, where a family of four is on the hunt for a new home. The family, consisting of parents Jim and Sarah and their two young children, are looking for a larger space to accommodate their growing family. However, they are divided on what style of home they want: Jim is drawn to the charm and character of Victorian-style homes, while Sarah prefers the more modern and functional layout of a ranch-style home.

The episode begins with the family meeting with their real estate agent, who shows them a traditional Victorian-style home in the heart of Davis. The home is over 100 years old and boasts ornate architecture, stained glass windows, and a grand staircase. While Jim is smitten with the home's historic charm, Sarah is concerned about the upkeep and maintenance that comes with owning an older home. Additionally, the home's smaller size and lack of a modern kitchen and bathroom make it a less practical choice for their family.

Their next stop is a ranch-style home on the outskirts of Davis. The home is more spacious than the Victorian and has a modern, open floor plan. The kitchen is updated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and the backyard features a large patio and swimming pool - perfect for entertaining. However, Jim finds the home's sleek design to be lacking in character, and Sarah worries that the home's location on the outskirts of town may make getting to school and work more difficult.

The family continues to tour various Victorian and ranch-style homes throughout Davis, exploring the pros and cons of each. They visit a Victorian-style home with a large backyard and modern updates, as well as a ranch-style home with a grand entrance and plenty of room for a home office. Through each home, the family debates the trade-offs between charm vs. function, history vs. modernity, and location vs. space.

In the end, the family is faced with a difficult decision as they choose between a stunning Victorian with historic charm and a spacious ranch-style home with modern amenities. Viewers will have to tune in to see which style wins out and which home the family ultimately chooses.
