Ep 17. Move-in Ready

In this episode of Property Brothers: Forever Home, entitled "Move-in Ready," homeowners Ashley and Brandon are in desperate need of a home renovation to make their 1950s bungalow more spacious and modern. Ashley, a dietician, and Brandon, a firefighter, are currently living in the home with their two daughters, but find that the cramped and outdated layout no longer works for their growing family.

Drew and Jonathan take on the challenge of transforming the house into a functional and stylish forever home for Ashley and Brandon. They begin by assessing the space, noting that the current layout doesn't flow well and there is a distinct lack of storage throughout the home.

To address these issues, the brothers create a plan to open up the living room and kitchen space, which involves knocking down a wall and reconfiguring the layout of the rooms. They also decide to add a second story addition to the home, which will provide much needed space for the family's growing needs.

The homeowners are excited about the prospect of a more functional and modern home, but as the renovation progresses, they start to feel the pressure of living in a construction zone. Drew and Jonathan work quickly to keep the project on track and minimize disruptions to the family's daily routine.

As the renovation nears completion, Ashley and Brandon can't wait to see the finished product. They're especially excited about the new second story addition, which will provide enough space for each of their daughters to have their own bedroom. They're also thrilled with the new open-concept living space, which will allow them to entertain more comfortably and enjoy family time together.

Finally, the big reveal arrives and the family is blown away by the transformation of their home. The new open-concept living room and kitchen space is warm and inviting, and the addition of a second story has created a much-needed family space. The design team has also added plenty of storage throughout the home, which Brandon is especially happy about.

Overall, Ashley and Brandon are thrilled with the results of the renovation, and are excited to settle into their "move-in ready" forever home. Drew and Jonathan are happy to have provided this family with a space that will accommodate their needs for years to come, and the homeowners can't wait to make new memories in their beautifully updated home.
