Katie and Boyd are a married couple living in the suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky. They are looking to purchase a weekend getaway condo in the heart of downtown Louisville, which is just a 20-minute drive from their home. With busy work schedules, they don't have time for a long commute and want a place they can escape to without having to spend hours traveling.
The couple meets with their real estate agent to discuss their preferences for the condo, which includes a modern and updated space with plenty of natural light, a view of the city, and close proximity to restaurants and nightlife. They have a budget of $300,000 and are hoping to get the most bang for their buck.
Their first stop is at a high-rise condo building located in the NuLu neighborhood, which boasts trendy shops and restaurants. The condo has a modern, open-concept kitchen and living area with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing stunning views of the city. While it checks off all their boxes, the price tag is over their budget, leaving them wondering if their dream home is out of reach.
The second property they visit is a converted tobacco warehouse in the Butchertown neighborhood. It has rustic charm with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and large windows, but lacks the modern amenities they desire. The couple likes the character of the space but realizes that it may not be the most practical choice for their needs.
The third and final property is a sleek, contemporary condo in a newly constructed building in the heart of downtown. It has the modern finishes and amenities the couple is looking for, including state-of-the-art appliances and a rooftop pool. Although it's priced a bit higher than their budget, Katie and Boyd are willing to stretch to get their dream home.
After weighing their options, Katie and Boyd make an offer on the contemporary condo and are thrilled when their offer is accepted. They are excited to have a place to escape to in the city and look forward to exploring all that downtown Louisville has to offer.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters showcases the challenges and excitement that come with purchasing a property in a secondary location. Katie and Boyd's search for the perfect weekend getaway condo highlights the importance of balancing their wants and needs with their budget. With the help of their real estate agent, they were able to find the perfect property that met all their criteria and allowed them to have the ideal escape from their busy lives in the suburbs.
