House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 62 Young Couple's First Home in Portland, Maine

In this episode of House Hunters, we follow a young couple as they search for their first home in Portland, Maine. The couple is excited to start their new life together in a place they can call their own. They have a budget of $350,000 and are looking for a two or three-bedroom house with a yard for their dog.

Their first stop is a contemporary home in the East End neighborhood of Portland. The house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, high ceilings, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The kitchen is spacious and has stainless steel appliances, but the couple is disappointed that there is no yard for their dog. The neighborhood has a lot of charm, with tree-lined streets and beautiful historic homes. Their real estate agent reminds them that location is important, and this house is close to many amenities and attractions.

Their next stop is a Cape Cod-style home in the Deering Center neighborhood. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a large backyard for their dog to play in. It also has a finished basement that could be turned into a rec room or office. The couple likes the character of the house, with its brick fireplace, hardwood floors, and built-in shelving. The neighborhood is family-friendly, with a park and community center nearby. They are impressed with the amount of space the house has, but worry about the upkeep of a larger yard.

Their final stop is a ranch home in the North Deering neighborhood. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a cozy living room and a wood-burning fireplace. The backyard is small but has a deck and is fully fenced in for their dog. The house has been renovated, with new appliances and updated bathrooms. The neighborhood is quiet and suburban, with many families and young professionals. The couple likes the one-story layout of the house and the ease of maintenance, but wonder if it feels too small for their future needs.

After weighing their options, the couple finally makes a decision on which home to choose. Throughout their search, they learn what is important to them in a home and neighborhood, as well as the compromises they are willing to make. The real estate agent helps guide them through the process and offers valuable insight and advice. It's an exciting journey for the young couple as they find their first home together in Portland, Maine.
