Love It or List It Season 6 Episode 25 As Their Children Become Teenagers, a Couple Realizes That They Lack Space and Privacy

As their children grow into teenagers, a couple realizes that their home is no longer meeting their needs for space and privacy. In episode 25 of season 6 of Love It or List It, hosts Hilary Farr and David Visentin are challenged to find a solution for this family's cramped living situation.

The couple, Brad and Gwen, explain that their two teenage sons need their own bedrooms and the family could use more common living space. Their 1970s ranch-style home in Raleigh, North Carolina has a layout that is not conducive to their needs. The home has an outdated closed-off kitchen, a small living room and dining room, and only three bedrooms. The couple is at an impasse as to whether they should renovate their existing home or start fresh with a new one.

Hilary, the designer, goes to work on redesigning and renovating the home to meet the couple's needs. She plans to knock down the walls between the kitchen, dining, and living areas to create an open-concept living space. She also plans to add an addition onto the house to create a new bedroom and bathroom for one of the boys. However, as she dives deeper into the renovation, she runs into unexpected obstacles that threaten to derail her timeline and budget.

Meanwhile, David, the real estate agent, takes the couple out to look at potential new homes that would meet their needs. He presents them with a few options within their budget, but the couple is not quite sold on any of them. They appreciate having more space, but they find themselves missing the charm and character of their current home.

Throughout the episode, Hilary and David work to highlight the pros and cons of each option for the couple. They showcase the potential of an updated home that would meet their needs and stay within their budget while highlighting the conveniences and benefits of moving to a new home. The couple weighs their options and ultimately must decide whether to love their renovated home or list it and start anew.

As always, this episode of Love It or List It showcases the creativity and expertise of both Hilary and David as they work to help a family make the best decision for their unique situation. With their skills and knowledge, the hosts strive to make Brad and Gwen's dream home a reality.
