House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 16 Surgeon and Wife Move Near Family in Kansas City

In this episode of House Hunters, a surgeon and his wife are looking to move closer to family in Kansas City. The couple, who currently live in California, want to be closer to their loved ones without sacrificing the modern amenities they've grown accustomed to.

Their budget is around $1.5M, and they're looking for a spacious and modern home with four bedrooms and at least three bathrooms. They also want a large yard for their children to play in and space for a home office.

Their first house hunt takes them to a recently renovated home in an older neighborhood. The home has a modern feel, with high-end finishes and a sleek design. The couple loves the open floor plan and large backyard, but they are concerned about the home's location and the age of the neighborhood.

Next, they visit a brand new home in a new development. The home boasts all the modern amenities they're looking for, including smart home technology and a high-tech security system. The couple is impressed with the energy-efficiency of the home and the large, flat backyard. However, they feel the neighborhood lacks character and may not have the same sense of community they value.

The third house they visit is a spacious home in a mature neighborhood. The home is perfect for entertaining, with a large formal living room and dining room. The couple loves the home's strong bones, but they feel the decor is dated and would require a significant investment to update.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to location versus modern amenities. While they appreciate the modern features of the second home, the couple decides to go with the third option in the mature neighborhood.

With some updates, the home has the potential to be the stylish and comfortable family home they're looking for. Plus, the couple feels that the established neighborhood will offer a sense of community and a fitting place to raise their children.

As the episode draws to a close, the couple seems thrilled with their decision. Their new home offers a stylish, comfortable retreat that's perfect for modern living while still providing them with access to family and community that they desire.
