House Hunters Season 51 Episode 14 Chicago Couple Seeks House With Enough Space for Chickens
- September 6, 2013
As the 51st season of House Hunters enters its 14th episode, viewers are introduced to a unique search for the perfect home. This time around, a Chicago couple seeks a home that has enough space for their backyard chickens.
The episode begins with the couple, Amy and Mark, discussing their need for a new home that will better accommodate their growing flock of chickens. Amy, in particular, is quite passionate about raising chickens and has been doing so for a few years now. However, their current home simply doesn't have the space needed for the number of chickens they now have. As a result, they've decided it's time to upgrade to a larger home with a bigger backyard.
As the couple begins their search, they meet up with their real estate agent, Jamie, who gets a sense of what they're looking for. They want a home that is spacious enough to accommodate their chickens, but also meets their budget and lifestyle needs. The couple explains that they enjoy cooking and entertaining, so a home with a great kitchen and outdoor living space is also a priority.
The first house Jamie takes the couple to see is a charming mid-century modern home that is located in a quiet neighborhood. The home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large backyard. The couple is impressed with the spacious layout as well as the modern touches such as stainless steel appliances and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. However, they quickly realize that the backyard isn't quite big enough for their chickens and they'd have to make some major modifications to the home to accommodate them.
The next home they tour is a sprawling ranch-style property that is set on a large lot. The home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a separate two-car garage. The couple is blown away by the amount of space both inside and outside of the home. The large backyard is perfect for their chickens and the couple can easily envision themselves cooking and entertaining in the spacious kitchen and dining room. However, the home is significantly more expensive than their budget allows, and they're not sure they're ready to take on such a big financial commitment.
Jamie takes them to one more property, which is a traditional home that boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and plenty of outdoor space. The couple is impressed with the large kitchen, formal dining room, and the home office. But what really stands out to Amy and Mark is the sprawling backyard, which has plenty of room for their chickens to happily roam around in. The home is priced within their budget, but they're a bit hesitant about the size of the home, as they don't really need all of the extra bedrooms.
At this point, the couple decides to take a step back and weigh their options. They're torn between the charm and character of the mid-century modern home, the space and luxury of the ranch-style property, and the practicality and affordability of the traditional home. They decide to take a few days to think it over and discuss their options together.
After thoughtful consideration, Amy and Mark ultimately decide to put an offer in on the traditional home. The spacious backyard is the perfect spot for their chickens to thrive and the home offers plenty of space for them to enjoy cooking and entertaining. They feel that the home will meet their needs for years to come, and they're excited to begin this new chapter in their lives.
In conclusion, House Hunters season 51 episode 14 presents a unique search for a home that meets the needs of a Chicago couple and their backyard chickens. As always, the episode is filled with stunning homes, thoughtful discussions, and a happy ending. Viewers will no doubt enjoy seeing the creative and practical ways the couple considers the needs of their chickens in the search for their new home.
