Ep 4. Artist Needs More Space

In season 13 episode 4 of House Hunters, titled "Artist Needs More Space," we follow an artist named Erin who is searching for the perfect home that will provide her with enough space to both live and create artwork. Erin is moving from her current apartment in Brooklyn, New York, as she has outgrown it, and is now looking for a new place in the city that will satisfy both her artistic needs and her desire for a comfortable living environment.

The episode begins with Erin meeting with her realtor to discuss her budget and what she is looking for in a home. She stresses the importance of having a dedicated art studio space, as well as enough room to entertain friends and family. Her realtor takes this into consideration as they begin touring different apartments and homes throughout the city.

The first property they visit is a loft-style apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The apartment has high ceilings and exposed brick, which would provide a great backdrop for Erin's artwork. However, the space is a bit smaller than she was hoping for, and the layout would not allow for a separate art studio. Erin is also concerned about the noise level in the bustling neighborhood, which could potentially disrupt her creative process.

The next property they visit is a townhouse in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The townhouse is bigger than the previous apartment, with three levels of living space. However, the price tag is much higher than Erin's budget, and the property would require a lot of renovation work to make it functional for her needs. While she loves the charm and character of the townhouse, Erin ultimately decides it is not the right fit.

The third property they visit is a spacious apartment in the Upper West Side. The apartment has a large living room with plenty of natural light and could easily accommodate a separate art studio space. Erin loves the neighborhood and the convenience of being close to Central Park. However, the price is also higher than her budget, and the building does not have any outdoor space for her to entertain guests.

After visiting multiple properties, Erin decides to make an offer on a two-bedroom apartment in the East Village. The apartment is on the ground floor of a converted brownstone and has a private backyard, which would be perfect for hosting parties. The bedrooms are spacious, and there is even a bonus room that Erin could use as an art studio. The neighborhood is also known for its artistic community, which is a plus for Erin.

Overall, the episode follows Erin's journey to finding the right home that meets both her artistic needs and her desire for a comfortable living space. Through touring multiple properties and weighing the pros and cons, Erin ultimately finds a place that she is excited to call home.
