In this episode of House Hunters, titled "Westward Ho!," we follow a young couple as they navigate the competitive Denver housing market in search of their dream home. The couple, both originally from the East Coast, have grown tired of the congested cities and high cost of living and are excited to start a new chapter in the West.
The episode begins with a brief introduction to the couple, their budget, and their must-have list. They are in the market for a two-bedroom house with a backyard for their two dogs, with a budget of $450,000. The couple also wants to be close to the mountains and have easy access to hiking and skiing.
The first house the couple sees is a charming brick bungalow in the historic Baker neighborhood. The house has a covered porch and a large backyard with a fire pit. The inside of the house has been fully updated with a modern kitchen, hardwood floors, and two bedrooms. The couple is impressed with the house's character and location but is hesitant about the potential for noise and traffic due to the house's proximity to a busy street.
The second house is a newly renovated mid-century modern house in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Sunnyside. The house has an open floor plan with large windows and plenty of natural light. The backyard has a small deck and a fenced-in yard for the dogs. The house also has a two-car garage, which is a major selling point for the couple. However, the house is slightly over budget at $475,000.
The third house is a spacious craftsman located in the quiet neighborhood of West Colfax. The house has a large front porch and a backyard with a covered patio and garden beds. The inside of the house has been fully updated with a modern kitchen, hardwood floors, and four bedrooms. The couple is impressed with the amount of space and potential for a home office or guest room but is worried about the long commute to their jobs downtown.
After much deliberation, the couple decides to put in an offer on the mid-century modern house in Sunnyside. The couple loves the open floor plan, natural light, and updated features of the house. They are happy to stretch their budget slightly to secure their dream home in their desired location.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters follows a young couple as they navigate the competitive Denver housing market and ultimately find their dream home in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Sunnyside. The episode highlights the importance of compromise and the challenges of finding a home that meets all of the buyers' must-haves within their budget.
