Ep 4. Flashback: Four Generations

In Property Brothers season 15 episode 4, entitled "Flashback: Four Generations," viewers are taken on a journey through time as hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott help a family of four generations find their dream home.

The episode begins with an introduction to the Ewen family, whose matriarch, Barbara, has lived in her current home for over 50 years. She is joined by her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter, all of whom are searching for a home to accommodate their growing family.

As the Property Brothers begin their search, they uncover the family's unique needs and preferences. The matriarch desires a home with a large porch and yard for her great-grandchildren to play, her daughter is looking for a home with modern amenities and an open floor plan, her granddaughter is set on a house with a pool, and her great-granddaughter wants a room large enough to fit all of her dance equipment.

Drew and Jonathan take these requirements into account as they search for the perfect house, then they lead the family on a trip down memory lane. The hosts bring the four generations back to the home where Barbara raised her children, which is now abandoned.

During the tour, the Ewens share stories and fond memories from their past, and it quickly becomes clear that the old home holds a special place in their hearts. Drew and Jonathan are moved by the family's sentimentality and, inspired by the home's history, they decide to take on the challenge of restoring the house to its former glory.

The brothers work with the family to create a plan that incorporates modern design elements while maintaining the home's original charm. They gut the interior, installing new fixtures and finishes, replacing the dated walls with fresh paint, and updating the kitchen and bathrooms.

The Property Brothers also turn the outdoor space into a haven for the Ewen family by building a custom concrete fire pit, a play area for the great-grandchildren, and a pool for the granddaughter.

Throughout the renovation process, the Ewen family watches their beloved home come back to life. The hosts take the family's vision one step further by incorporating sentimental elements, like the matriarch's old toys and family photos dating back to the 1940s.

In the end, the Ewen family is reunited with the home that holds so many cherished memories. They celebrate with a lively backyard barbecue and take a stroll through their updated living space.

The episode concludes with the four generations of the family sitting on the front porch, enjoying each other's company and reflecting on the memories that the house has given them over the years. Through Drew and Jonathan's hard work, the Ewen family has a renewed appreciation for their heritage and the importance of family ties.
