Ep 26. Photographers Keith and Kate Are Looking to Downsize in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Photographers Keith and Kate are ready to downsize from their spacious home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and embrace tiny living. In this episode of Tiny House Hunters, they search for the perfect tiny house that will meet all their needs and allow them to simplify their lives.

As they embark on their house hunting journey, Keith and Kate explain what inspired them to pursue tiny living. They share how they have come to realize that they don't need a large house to be happy and are excited to see where this new chapter in their lives takes them.

Their budget is $60,000, and they are looking for a home that is under 400 square feet, which can be quite a challenge in Portsmouth. They have a few specific must-haves, such as a full kitchen, a separate bedroom area, and a space to work from home, as they both run their photography business from their house.

The first house they visit is a 340-square-foot tiny home that is located on a spacious lot with a view of the water. The house has a full kitchen, but the layout is not ideal for their needs, and they find the bedroom area too small. Additionally, there is no room for a dedicated workspace, which is a deal-breaker for Keith and Kate.

Next, they check out a tiny house that is 275 square feet and located in a beautiful wooded area. The house is well-designed and has a cozy feel, but unfortunately lacks in certain features. The couple is concerned about the lack of storage space and the small living room area that would not accommodate all of their furniture.

The third tiny house is located on a gorgeous property overlooking a pond and is 320 square feet. The home features a full-size kitchen and is designed with an actual staircase to a second floor bedroom. The space isn't large enough for a separate work area, but has the potential for the couple to be creative.

Finally, they view a 360-square-foot tiny house that is located close to downtown Portsmouth. This home is ideal for Keith and Kate, as it has a spacious living area, full kitchen, ample storage, and a separate bedroom. Additionally, it has a cozy loft area that they can use as a workspace. They are both excited about this option and can see themselves in this space.

The episode concludes with Keith and Kate making a decision on which tiny home they want to call their own. They carefully consider each option and weigh the pros and cons of each property before making their final decision.

Overall, this episode of Tiny House Hunters highlights the challenges and benefits of downsizing to a tiny home. It showcases the importance of prioritizing needs versus wants when searching for a space that fits your lifestyle.
