Ep 11. From LA to Lake Tuscaloosa

From LA to Lake Tuscaloosa is the eleventh episode of season 3 of Lakefront Bargain Hunt Renovation. In this episode, we follow a couple, Mark and Michelle, who currently reside in Los Angeles and are determined to find a lakefront property in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They dream of a serene and peaceful life in a rustic lakefront house away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Mark and Michelle have enlisted the help of a local real estate agent, who shows them two properties that fit their needs and budget. The first property is a small, outdated cottage that sits on a large lot with a lot of potential, while the second property is a larger, more expansive house with a modern design and plenty of amenities.

Although the couple initially gravitated towards the larger house, they ultimately decide to go in a different direction. They opt for the smaller, more affordable property with the expansive lot, which they believe has the most potential for renovation.

The renovation process for this property proves to be quite challenging as the house requires a lot of work to bring it up to Mark and Michelle's standards. The couple faces unexpected obstacles, including outdated wiring and faulty plumbing, which must be fixed before any cosmetic changes can be made.

The couple decides to focus on creating an open floor plan and maximizing the property's lakefront views. They remove several walls, creating a large living/dining room that feels airy and spacious. They also install large windows throughout the house, allowing for plenty of natural light and views of the lake.

Throughout the renovation process, Mark and Michelle encounter several unexpected surprises that challenge their plans. However, they remain dedicated to creating a beautiful lakefront retreat and work tirelessly to overcome each obstacle.

Finally, the renovation is complete, and the couple is thrilled with the result. The new open floor plan, updated fixtures, and lakefront views make the house feel like a peaceful oasis. They are ready to leave the chaos of LA behind and embrace the serene lifestyle of lakefront living.

From LA to Lake Tuscaloosa is an inspiring episode that showcases the hard work and determination required to transform a run-down lakefront property into a dream home. With stunning lake views and a redesigned interior, Mark and Michelle's renovated home in Tuscaloosa is sure to be an idyllic retreat for years to come.
