House Hunters Season 2017 Episode 5 Historic Charm in Philly

House Hunters season 2017 episode 5 titled "Historic Charm in Philly" follows a young couple as they search for their dream home in the City of Brotherly Love. The episode begins with the couple, Erica and Kevin, discussing their must-haves for their new home. Erica wants a home with historic charm and character, while Kevin is focused on finding something more modern with spacious living areas.

The first house they visit is a beautiful brownstone in the heart of the city. The home has original hardwood floors and plenty of historic charm, but the rooms are smaller than what Erica and Kevin were hoping for. Despite this, Erica is smitten with the home's unique character and is already picturing herself entertaining guests in the formal dining room.

The next house they visit is a lot bigger and has all the modern amenities Kevin is looking for. The home has an open floor plan and a large kitchen which is perfect for entertaining guests. However, the home's sterile, modern look is not what Erica had in mind. She's concerned that the home lacks the character and history that she's looking for.

The couple's third option is a row house that's just a few blocks from the famous Liberty Bell. The home has been fully renovated and has a mix of both modern and historic elements. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances, but the original brick walls have been left intact, giving the room a warm and cozy feeling. The home also has a large backyard, which is a rare find in Philadelphia. Erica immediately falls in love with the home's mix of old and new elements, and Kevin agrees that the home has everything they're looking for.

After visiting all three homes, Erica and Kevin sit down to discuss their options. Although the home with the modern amenities was impressive, they both agreed that it lacked the history and character they were looking for. Erica loved the brownstone, but they realized that the smaller rooms would not be practical for their future family. In the end, they both agreed that the row house in the heart of the city was the perfect balance of history and modern amenities. They make an offer on the home and are thrilled when their offer is accepted.

The episode ends with Erica and Kevin moving into their new home. They're thrilled to be living in the heart of Philadelphia and are excited to start making new memories in their beautiful historic home.
