House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 81 Young Couple with Modest Budget Seeks Bigger Home in Toledo

As a young couple, Annie and Ethan have outgrown their current home in Toledo, Ohio. They're excited to start searching for a bigger home that will give them more space to work from home, host family and friends, and maybe even start a family of their own.

Annie and Ethan have a modest budget of $250,000, which means they'll need to be strategic in their search for their dream home. They're looking for a place with at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a backyard that's big enough for their two dogs to play in. They're open to fixer-uppers, but they don't have a lot of experience with home renovations, so they're hoping to find a place that won't require too much work.

Their real estate agent, Emily, shows them three very different houses in their price range. The first is a cozy bungalow in a charming, tree-lined neighborhood. The house has plenty of character, with original woodwork and a fireplace, but it only has two bedrooms and one bathroom. The backyard is mostly taken up by a large shed, which would need to be torn down to make room for a dog run.

The second house is a modern, open-concept home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has a beautiful updated kitchen and a large backyard, but it's located on a busy street that could be problematic if Annie and Ethan have kids in the future.

The third house is a spacious colonial-style home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has a huge backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run, and it's located in a quiet cul-de-sac. However, it needs some work to bring it up to Annie and Ethan's standards. The kitchen is outdated and there are some structural issues that would need to be addressed.

Annie and Ethan have a tough decision to make, but they weigh the pros and cons of each house carefully. They love the character of the bungalow, but they're worried about the lack of space and the backyard situation. They're drawn to the modern home, but they're concerned about the location. And while the colonial home has the most potential, they're hesitant to take on a big renovation project.

After much deliberation, Annie and Ethan make their choice and put in an offer on their dream home. They're excited to start their new chapter in a place that they can call their own.
