House Hunters is an American television series in which individuals or couples looking to buy a home, meet with a real estate agent in different cities around the United States. In this episode called "Going Vintage in Tampa, Fl," a couple named Mary and Jack are in search of a new home with vintage charm and character.
The episode begins with Mary and Jack explaining to their real estate agent, Molly, that they are looking for a home that takes them back in time. They wish for a vintage touch but also want a modern and updated interior. Molly shows the first house which is a Spanish-style home that was built in the '20s. Mary and Jack were drawn to the archways throughout the house and the original wooden floors. However, the couple did not like the lack of closet space in the house and the outdated kitchen, so it was ruled out of their list.
The next home that Molly shows is a mid-century modern style home built-in 1959. As the couple walks into the house, they admired the floor-to-ceiling windows that provided ample natural light into the house. The open floor plan and the huge screened-in porch are also areas where the couple fell in love with the house. However, the bedrooms were small, and the couple would need to spend a considerable amount to upgrade the house, which turned out to be the major con for them.
The third house, which Molly showed, was a bungalow. The couple's eyes lit up as they walked into the house. Molly showed them the original built-in cabinetry and the woodwork throughout the house. Mary and Jack loved the fact that the house had vintage charm with modern upgrades, including a stainless steel kitchen. There was an in-law suite attached to the house that Mary and Jack liked and could be used as an office or an extra rental income. The yard was extensive and had an extra-large patio, which the couple could use to host their friends and family. However, Mary and Jack were slightly concerned about the size of the house. They could see themselves adjusting to the size but are not sure if the house would be big enough for them in the future.
After seeing all three houses, Mary and Jack had a lot to think about; they weighed the pros and cons of each house. During their deliberation, they mentioned that the third house had the perfect vintage charm with modern upgrades. They felt like that was what they were looking for in a perfect home. Mary and Jack's top choice was the bungalow with the vintage charm and updates.
