In the latest episode of House Hunters, a young couple from Houston is on the hunt for a vintage-style home in Sugar Land, Texas. They have their hearts set on finding a property that matches the look and feel of homes from the early 1900s, but still has all the modern amenities they need.
As the episode begins, viewers meet John and Emily, a couple in their late twenties who are first-time homebuyers. They've been living in a small apartment in Houston and are ready to take the leap into homeownership. They've been searching for a few weeks on their own, but haven't found anything that meets their needs.
Their real estate agent shows them three properties in the historic district of Sugar Land, all of which are over 100 years old. The first home they tour is a two-story brick home with a wrap-around porch. It has a lot of original features, including wood floors and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. However, the kitchen has been fully updated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, which isn't quite what John and Emily are looking for.
The second home is also a two-story brick home with a white picket fence in the front yard. It has some original features, including stained glass windows and a fireplace in the living room. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinets and appliances, but still has a vintage feel. However, there are only two bedrooms in this home, which is a drawback for John and Emily since they hope to start a family soon.
The third and final home they tour is a one-story bungalow with a large front porch. It has a lot of original features, including built-in bookcases and a pedestal sink in the bathroom. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinets and appliances, but still has a vintage feel. There are three bedrooms in this home, which is a plus for John and Emily.
After touring all three homes, John and Emily discuss their options with their agent. They love the vintage touches in all of the homes, but they decide to make an offer on the third home they viewed, the one-story bungalow. They appreciate that it has three bedrooms and a large backyard where they can entertain guests.
In the end, viewers see John and Emily happily moving into their new home. They've already started decorating the house with vintage furniture and accessories, and are excited to make it their own. They comment that they appreciate the history of the home and feel like they're part of a community in Sugar Land's historic district. House Hunters Season 2016 episode 49 provides viewers with an inside look at the challenge of balancing old-world charm with modern amenities in the world of house hunting.
