Ep 13. A Dream in Brigantine

A Dream in Brigantine is the thirteenth episode of the fifth season of the popular renovation show Beachfront Bargain Hunt. The show follows families as they search for the perfect "fixer-upper" beachfront property, and then embark on the journey of renovating it to perfection.

In this episode, we meet The Bradley Family, a couple and their two teenage daughters, who have been dreaming of buying a beachfront property for years. They have been looking at homes for months, but have been unable to find one that fits their budget. The area they are interested in is Brigantine, the only island in New Jersey that has a public beach. It is a serene and peaceful island with beautiful landscapes and scenery.

We are introduced to the family as they arrive in town to start their house search with their real estate agent, Valerie. They have a budget of $500,000 and are hoping to find a beachfront home that they can transform to meet their needs. As they begin exploring different properties, they quickly realize that finding a beachfront property with four bedrooms is going to be a challenge within their budget.

The first house they explore is a two-story property that has a lot of potential but needs a complete renovation. The house looks outdated with old fixtures and finishes. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to bring the house up to their standards, but it has a lot of potential as its location is fantastic. However, the family decides to keep searching for more options.

In the next property, they see a house that has great potential and is walking distance from the beach. It is a four-bedroom house that has been updated and is in move-in condition. However, it is above their budget and the family has to decide whether they are willing to spend more or keep searching for a property that is more in line with their budget.

After exploring several properties, the family finally finds the perfect property that ticks off all of their boxes. It is a big 5-bedroom house with a lot of potential. It has a beautiful deck, spacious bedrooms, and even a separate space for the girls. However, the house has an outdated kitchen, which needs to be renovated. The living area is also too small and needs to be expanded. The house has a small space that can be developed into an outdoor kitchen and dining area. The family decides to put an offer on the house, and it is accepted.

After buying the property, the family quickly gets to work. They have a tight timeline as they want to be able to enjoy the house during the summer season. The family decides to work on the kitchen first as it is the most important room in the house. They install new cabinets, countertops, and appliances which immediately improve the overall aesthetic of the house. They also expand the living area, which gives the living room an open feel. They also create a separate space for the girls.

The outdoor area is also transformed and made into a beautiful entertainment area, complete with a dining area and barbeque grill. It is perfect for family gatherings and outdoor parties. The results of the renovation are stunning, and the family is overjoyed with the new retreat that they have created.
