In season 27 episode 11 of House Hunters, titled "Single Story," viewers follow three couples as they search for their dream home, all with one common request: a single story layout. The episode kicks off with the first couple, Scott and Lisa, who are moving from a two-story home and want to downsize to a one-story home. They hope to find a home with a large backyard and plenty of space to entertain friends and family.
Next up is newlyweds Mark and Rachel, who are looking to upgrade from their small apartment to a home with more space. With plans to start a family, they desire a home with enough room for their future children and guests. They also want a backyard where they can relax and entertain.
The final couple, Paul and Cindy, have lived in their current split-level home for over 20 years and are ready for a change. Both retired, they want to find a home that's more low maintenance and easy to navigate. Ideally, they want a ranch-style home with an open layout, which will give them more space for their hobbies.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the different neighborhoods and homes visited by each couple. Each couple makes a list of their must-haves and dealbreakers, and viewers get to see how each home they visit measures up. Along the way, there are a few surprises and setbacks, as well as some tough choices to make.
The first couple, Scott and Lisa, are drawn to a home with a gorgeous backyard and beautiful views, but it's smaller than what they were hoping for. They also have to contend with the house being on a busy street, which could be an issue for Scott, who works from home. When they visit a second home, they fall in love with the large, open layout, but it's further out from their desired neighborhood. Ultimately, they must decide between the house with a beautiful view and the house with an ideal layout and location.
Mark and Rachel, the second couple, have a long list of must-haves, including a large backyard, updated kitchen, and a location near the beach. They tour several homes, but each one falls short in some way. One home has a great backyard but needs a lot of work, and another is in their desired location but has a small kitchen. They face a tough decision when they find a home that's almost perfect but has just two bedrooms.
The final couple, Paul and Cindy, have different priorities. They want a low-maintenance, single-story home with an open layout and plenty of space for their hobbies. They visit several homes before finding one that fits all of their criteria. However, the home is further away from their friends and family, which is a big downside. They must decide between a home that checks all their boxes but is far from their loved ones or a home that's closer but not as perfect.
Overall, "Single Story" is an episode full of tough choices and surprises as each couple searches for their perfect single-story home. Viewers get a glimpse into the process of house hunting, as the couples weigh their options and make some difficult decisions.
