On HGTV, we follow the journey of Robert and Stephanie as they navigate the real estate market in search of their dream home. Their daughter Meline's battle with an autoimmune illness led them to bring therapeutic horses home, aiding in her recovery. Now that Meline is healthy and off to college, the couple seizes the opportunity to make a change and find a new home with more recreational space. Robert longs for an Old Brick European style house, reminiscent of his childhood, while Stephanie leans towards a more traditional American home with a soul.
The couple's search leads them to various properties, from a house with updates and an urban chic feel closer to the city to a large, intense home with seven bedrooms an hour away from Atlanta. Despite the allure of features like a pool room and gym, the steep price tag of $1.5 million raises concerns. As they explore different options, including a European-style brick house with French flair, they grapple with the trade-offs between location, budget, and their children's preferences for amenities like a home theater and green grass for soccer.
Ultimately, after negotiations and compromises, Robert and Stephanie find a middle ground with a charming Old Brick European house that satisfies their desires for a soulful home and ample space for family activities. The house, purchased for $1.425 million, symbolizes a new chapter for the family, blending elements of their past with the promise of a bright future.
