- December 30, 2020
In season 4, episode 8 of Property Brothers: Forever Home, titled "Teenager In The House," hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott work with a couple who are in desperate need of more space for their growing family. Erin and Travis currently live in a cozy bungalow that they've outgrown, with their daughter Ellie Mae and a new teenager, Zoey, who recently joined their family. With Zoey joining the mix, Erin and Travis need more room to accommodate their growing family.
The episode starts with Drew and Jonathan taking a tour of the couple's current home. Erin and Travis explain that they love their neighborhood and don't want to move, but they desperately need more space. With only one bathroom and two small bedrooms, they're quickly running out of room for their growing family. Travis is a contractor, so he's been able to make some updates on their home, but there's only so much they can do.
With their budget in mind, Drew and Jonathan take Erin and Travis to tour a few homes with more space and potential. After touring a few homes, the couple decides they don't want to give up their location. They ask Drew and Jonathan if they can help them maximize the space they already have, while also adding on for more square footage.
Drew and Jonathan formulate a plan to maximize the space in the couple's bungalow while also adding on extra rooms. The couple wants to add on a mudroom and a powder room for guests. They also want to add on a new bedroom for their teenage daughter, Zoey, and turn their old master bedroom into a nursery for their new baby on the way. They also want to update their kitchen and dining room to make it more spacious and functional for their family.
Drew and Jonathan get to work, first tackling the addition of the mudroom and powder room, which they add on to the front of the house. Next, they add on the new bedroom for Zoey and convert the old master bedroom into a nursery. They demo the old kitchen and dining room, planning to expand the space to create a more open concept design.
Throughout the episode, Drew and Jonathan face a few challenges such as leveling out the foundation of the home and dealing with an unexpected rainstorm that delays the construction process. However, they manage to stay on schedule and deliver the transformed space within the couple's budget.
When the episode comes to an end, Erin and Travis are ecstatic to see their new space. They're amazed by how much more functional and spacious their home feels. They now have a dedicated mudroom, a powder room for guests, a nursery for the new baby, and a bedroom for their teenager. The new kitchen and dining room space is exactly what they wanted, with a large island and plenty of seating for their family.
Overall, this episode is a testament to Drew and Jonathan's dedication to transforming homes into forever homes for their clients. Despite the challenges they face throughout the episode, they manage to deliver a beautifully transformed space within their clients' budget.
