Ep 7. Making Memories on Lake Martin

Making Memories on Lake Martin is the seventh episode of the third season of Lakefront Bargain Hunt Renovation. Lake Martin, located in Alabama, is a popular destination for boating and fishing enthusiasts, and in this episode, a couple is seeking to renovate their newly purchased lakefront property to create a space for their family to create memories for years to come.

The couple has a modest budget of $50,000 and is looking for a cabin-style lake house that is cozy and comfortable for their family. They are looking for a space that is open and airy, has a view of the lake, and has a rustic feel to match the natural surroundings. However, they know that they will have to do some renovations to make their dream lake house a reality.

The first property they visit is a ranch-style house that is in need of some serious updates. The house sits on a large piece of property, giving them plenty of room to expand and make changes. However, the interior of the house is dated and needs a complete overhaul. The couple is eager to take on the challenge, but their real estate agent warns them that it may be a bigger project than they anticipated.

Next, they visit a two-bedroom cabin that has a beautiful view of the lake but needs updates throughout. The kitchen is small and outdated, and the bedrooms are too small for their needs. However, the couple sees the potential in the property and is excited about the prospect of turning it into their dream lake house. With some renovations and additions, they could create a space that is perfect for their family.

Finally, they visit a small cottage that is already updated but may not have enough space for their family. Although it has a beautiful view of the lake, it may be too small for their needs. However, the couple is drawn to the coziness of the cabin and sees the potential of expanding it to create more space.

After much consideration, the couple decides to purchase the two-bedroom cabin and embark on a renovation project to turn it into their dream lake house. They begin by gutting the kitchen and replacing it with new appliances and modern finishes. They also expand one of the bedrooms to create a larger master suite with a walk-in closet and a view of the lake.

To maximize the view of the lake, they add a large deck to the back of the cabin, which acts as an outdoor living space and enhances the cabin's charm factor. They also add a wall of windows to the living room, which floods the space with natural light and creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The couple works tirelessly on the renovation project, and the end result is a beautiful, cozy lake house that is perfect for their family. The finished product has a rustic charm that fits perfectly with the natural surroundings, and the open layout creates a spacious and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for entertaining friends and family.

Making Memories on Lake Martin is a heartwarming episode that showcases the power of a little creativity and hard work. Despite a modest budget, the couple was able to transform a rundown lake house into a beautiful, cozy oasis that will provide them with memories for years to come.
