Ep 1. Chesapeake Beach Build

In "Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation" season 4 episode 1, entitled "Chesapeake Beach Build," a couple searches for the perfect beachfront property on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. With a budget of $375,000, they hope to find a fixer-upper that they can transform into the beach house of their dreams.

The episode begins with a look at the couple's wish list, which includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living area, and a backyard with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. They also want a property that's located within walking distance of the beach, with a view of the water.

The first property they visit is a 1960s-era bungalow that's located just a block away from the beach. At $310,000, it's well within their budget, but it needs a lot of work. The couple would need to completely gut the space and start from scratch. Despite the potential of the property, they're hesitant to take on such a massive renovation project.

Next, they visit a smaller property that's listed at $315,000. The house is only two bedrooms and one bathroom, but it has a large backyard with a view of the bay. The couple is impressed with the potential for outdoor entertaining, but they're concerned about the small size of the house. They worry that it won't be large enough for their family when they have guests staying with them.

The third property they visit is a stunning, brand new construction listed at $400,000. Built just two years ago, the house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open floor plan and a modern, coastal design. The only drawback is that it's located a bit further from the beach than the couple would prefer, but the stunning craftsmanship and well-thought-out design make it a strong contender.

Ultimately, the couple decides to put in an offer on the third property, as they feel that it's the most move-in ready option. They also like the fact that they won't have to worry about any major renovations or projects right away. However, they're still open to making a few cosmetic changes to the house and adding their own personal touches to make it feel like their own.

In the renovation phase of the episode, the couple works with a contractor to make a few minor tweaks to the house, including swapping out the lighting fixtures and painting the walls a different color. They also take on a larger project of installing a new deck in the backyard to maximize their outdoor living space and to take advantage of the stunning view of the bay.

Throughout the renovation process, the couple is thrilled with the progress and can't wait to move into their new beachfront home. They're excited to spend summers on the water and to welcome friends and family to their new abode.

"Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation" season 4 episode 1 is a fun and inspiring look at the process of finding and renovating a beachfront property. With its stunning location on the Chesapeake Bay and the couple's fun personalities, this episode is sure to appeal to anyone who dreams of owning a beach house.
