1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:03,567
[Janel]
Look at this view.
2
00:00:03,567 --> 00:00:05,266
It is amazing.
3
00:00:05,266 --> 00:00:06,300
[Catherine]
What a gorgeous view.
4
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:07,900
[narrator] Now that
her children
are grown,
5
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:09,767
Catherine's moving
full time
6
00:00:09,767 --> 00:00:11,100
to her favorite
vacation spot.
7
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,467
The Outer Banks
of North Carolina.
8
00:00:13,467 --> 00:00:14,166
[Janel] Hot tub!
9
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:17,767
[Camryn]
Oh, my gosh.
No way.
10
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:20,266
[narrator] But to land
the prime beach
location she wants,
11
00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:21,867
she may have
to settle
for something
12
00:00:21,867 --> 00:00:23,600
much smaller
than she thought.
13
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,100
[Janel] It is a condo style
townhome.
14
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:28,800
This was not
what I was
envisioning.
15
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,700
[Janel]
You can make
this kitchen amazing
16
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,166
if we got
the right price
for the house.
17
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:34,567
[narrator]
And it'll be up
to her daughter, Camryn,
18
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:36,166
to convince Catherine
that buying
19
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:38,300
the home
of her dreams
is worth it.
20
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,300
Even if it means
breaking the bank.
21
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:40,967
[Camryn] You've got
that view
22
00:00:40,967 --> 00:00:43,066
you've been dying
to have.
23
00:00:43,066 --> 00:00:44,100
It's move-in ready.
It's ready to go.
24
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:45,734
Why not?
Treat yourself.
25
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:47,500
[doorbell ringing]
26
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:49,700
[theme music playing]
27
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:02,567
-[Catherine] Ooh.
-[Camryn] Oh,
that's a nice one.
28
00:01:02,567 --> 00:01:03,433
That's a good one.
29
00:01:03,433 --> 00:01:05,500
I'm Catherine.
I help
law enforcement
30
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,767
solve crimes
through technology.
31
00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:09,266
I have three
adult kids.
32
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:10,767
They have all
grown up,
33
00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:11,800
out of the house.
34
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,867
Just recently,
I got rid
35
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:15,100
of the last one.
36
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:16,667
That's been, uh,
kind of nice
37
00:01:16,667 --> 00:01:18,266
being on my own
38
00:01:18,266 --> 00:01:20,266
for the first time
in a long time.
39
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:21,367
Are you gonna
let me keep
40
00:01:21,367 --> 00:01:23,000
the ones
that we find here?
41
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,367
-Look at that one.
-Because you have
42
00:01:24,367 --> 00:01:25,800
thousands of shells.
43
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,367
Um, no,
those are mine.
44
00:01:27,367 --> 00:01:28,333
[Catherine chuckles]
45
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:30,000
[Catherine] I live
in Clifton, Virginia,
46
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,266
in a townhouse.
47
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:32,967
Really looking forward
48
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:35,000
to getting out
of that area,
49
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,667
out of the traffic.
50
00:01:36,667 --> 00:01:38,600
[Camryn]
Oh, my gosh,
look at this one.
51
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,667
[Catherine]
Oh, wow!
52
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:42,266
I grew up coming
to the Outer Banks
53
00:01:42,266 --> 00:01:44,166
since the '70s.
54
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:46,700
The beaches are
absolutely beautiful.
55
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:48,767
[Catherine]
Look at the shades
of blue on that.
56
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:49,767
It's so pretty.
57
00:01:49,767 --> 00:01:52,266
I've been planning
for this move,
58
00:01:52,266 --> 00:01:54,400
for at least
the last
five years.
59
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,567
I'm looking
to buy
60
00:01:55,567 --> 00:01:58,200
in the main part
of the Outer Banks,
61
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,867
like the Kitty Hawk area.
62
00:01:59,867 --> 00:02:01,500
There's surfers
out there.
63
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,166
It's a little chilly
to be surfing.
64
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:04,900
I don't think
I could do that.
65
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:06,300
[Catherine]
My daughter Camryn
66
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:07,400
is going to be
joining me
67
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,767
on my
house hunt.
68
00:02:08,767 --> 00:02:09,867
So, I'm
looking forward
69
00:02:09,867 --> 00:02:11,200
to having her
help me.
70
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,367
I am so excited
about making
this move,
71
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:16,266
especially,
at this time
in my life.
72
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:17,767
I can still work.
73
00:02:17,767 --> 00:02:20,066
But I can do
it remotely
down here
74
00:02:20,066 --> 00:02:22,100
in a much more
relaxed area.
75
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,867
I'm excited.
I can't wait.
76
00:02:23,867 --> 00:02:24,667
It's going
to be fun.
77
00:02:24,667 --> 00:02:26,467
When we were
driving in yesterday,
78
00:02:26,467 --> 00:02:30,300
I really noticed
the coastal
cottage type,
79
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:31,800
you know,
beachy houses.
80
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,667
The different colors
on the outside
of the houses.
81
00:02:33,667 --> 00:02:35,266
Yeah, I really
like those.
82
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:37,066
I'm kind
of hoping
there'll be some
83
00:02:37,066 --> 00:02:38,967
that's, you know,
the reverse
floor plan.
84
00:02:38,967 --> 00:02:41,066
The living room,
dining room, kitchen,
85
00:02:41,066 --> 00:02:44,367
and primary bedroom
on the one level,
86
00:02:44,367 --> 00:02:45,667
maybe even,
you know, room
87
00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:46,767
for my office.
88
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:49,266
But then
on the lower level,
89
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:51,767
having two or three
more bedrooms
90
00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:52,867
with a couple
of bathrooms
91
00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:54,367
for all
the family
92
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:55,767
and guests
to come.
93
00:02:55,767 --> 00:02:57,266
I really would like
to have something
94
00:02:57,266 --> 00:02:59,600
on the sounds,
because on
the sound side,
95
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,000
if it's
the western part
96
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,567
and they'll have
the sunset.
97
00:03:02,567 --> 00:03:04,567
So, that would be
my perfect...
98
00:03:04,567 --> 00:03:06,567
It would be nice,
but if you
find something
99
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:08,166
on the beach side,
too, it could be
100
00:03:08,166 --> 00:03:10,667
kind of cool
to have something
beach side,
101
00:03:10,667 --> 00:03:12,166
right on the...
on the sand
102
00:03:12,166 --> 00:03:13,767
and the ocean.
103
00:03:13,767 --> 00:03:15,800
You know,
I've been
in the townhouse
104
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,467
for so long.
I think I would
really like
105
00:03:18,467 --> 00:03:20,166
to have
a single-family home.
106
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:21,166
And that
sounds like
107
00:03:21,166 --> 00:03:22,667
more money
every month.
108
00:03:22,667 --> 00:03:23,467
[Catherine]
That's true.
109
00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:24,900
Yeah,
there is going
to be that,
110
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,166
you know, balance.
you know that...
111
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:29,200
You know,
with the condo,
you're gonna have
112
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,800
the high
condo fees.
113
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,967
There's more
people there.
114
00:03:31,967 --> 00:03:33,200
You've got
a pool,
115
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,166
HOA, you've got people
to meet.
116
00:03:35,166 --> 00:03:36,867
Condo could
be beneficial.
117
00:03:36,867 --> 00:03:39,967
I'm willing to go
with 475,000.
118
00:03:39,967 --> 00:03:41,600
But if I can find
something lower,
119
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,667
I like the idea
of renovations
120
00:03:43,667 --> 00:03:46,266
because I can make
it my own.
121
00:03:46,266 --> 00:03:47,700
But what if you
find something
122
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:48,867
a little bit more,
123
00:03:48,867 --> 00:03:50,467
that you could
just move-in ready
124
00:03:50,467 --> 00:03:52,066
and not have
to really
do anything?
125
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,266
You know,
you already
did that
126
00:03:53,266 --> 00:03:54,467
with the old house
127
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:55,967
that you did
some renovations.
128
00:03:55,967 --> 00:03:58,400
You really wanna
go through that
all over again?
129
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,300
You might
get something
130
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,767
that you've
always wanted
131
00:04:00,767 --> 00:04:02,066
with a higher price.
132
00:04:02,066 --> 00:04:04,667
Like, if you
can find
an amazing view,
133
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:06,000
for a little bit
more than
134
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,967
what you're wanting
to spend,
135
00:04:07,967 --> 00:04:10,600
but you get
to see that view
every single day,
136
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,900
I say,
go for it.
137
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,500
[Camryn] Wow, we're
really going deep
in here,
138
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:18,600
[Catherine] I tell you.
139
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,100
But I do know
there's a lot
140
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,000
of year round folks
141
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,600
-that live back
in here.
-[Camryn] Yep.
142
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,567
[Catherine]
Which is nice.
143
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:25,767
Water straight ahead.
144
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:29,166
Oh, my gosh,
it's so pretty. Wow!
145
00:04:29,166 --> 00:04:31,300
Okay, I think
it's this one.
146
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:34,367
-The greyish-green.
-Wow, it looks...
almost new.
147
00:04:34,367 --> 00:04:36,500
Wow. Oh, gosh,
I got goosebumps.
148
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:37,400
[Camryn chuckles]
149
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,767
-[Janel] Hi, ladies!
-[Catherine] Hello.
150
00:04:43,767 --> 00:04:46,967
I told you
I'd show you some
with a water view.
151
00:04:46,967 --> 00:04:48,667
[Catherine] Wow.
This is beautiful.
152
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:50,200
So, this is
a beach box.
153
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,100
It's not your
reversed floor plan
154
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,700
where your kitchen's
up top
155
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:54,667
with your
beautiful view.
156
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,100
But look at this.
157
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,100
The house is
a little bit
158
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,667
over Catherine's
price range,
159
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:01,166
but I do feel
that the house
is a great deal.
160
00:05:01,166 --> 00:05:02,800
A single-family home,
161
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,667
with an amazing
water view
162
00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:06,266
priced extremely well.
163
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:07,867
It's gonna fly
off the market.
164
00:05:07,867 --> 00:05:09,166
[Catherine] Oh, wow!
165
00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:11,467
It's very beachy.
I love the skylight.
166
00:05:11,467 --> 00:05:12,800
It's beautiful.
167
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,567
I like how large
and open it is.
168
00:05:14,567 --> 00:05:17,166
[Janel] Yeah.
Amazing sized
dining room.
169
00:05:17,166 --> 00:05:18,467
[Camryn] This is
a great table.
170
00:05:18,467 --> 00:05:21,000
You have
water view
from every window.
171
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,467
[Camryn] Wow.
That's so cool.
172
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,066
[Janel] So this goes
out to the deck here.
173
00:05:26,066 --> 00:05:27,066
[Camryn] Wow.
174
00:05:27,066 --> 00:05:28,700
[Catherine]
This is nice.
175
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,166
So, which way
are we facing?
176
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:31,367
[Janel]
We are facing
the east.
177
00:05:31,367 --> 00:05:34,100
Okay, so,
the sunrises
we're gonna see
178
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,500
over here,
so for the coffee
and stuff,
179
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,500
but the sun's
gonna be
behind us
180
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,467
-in the afternoon
for the sunset.
-[Janel] Yes.
181
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:45,000
Let's check out
the kitchen.
182
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,400
[Catherine]
I really like
183
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,066
what they did
with the island here.
184
00:05:48,066 --> 00:05:49,667
I thought that,
that is unique.
185
00:05:49,667 --> 00:05:50,967
It's cute.
186
00:05:50,967 --> 00:05:52,066
I like that.
187
00:05:52,066 --> 00:05:54,100
[Camryn]
What do you think
of the countertops, Mom?
188
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:55,467
[Catherine] You know,
I don't mind them.
189
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:57,266
To me, they're not
very beachy.
190
00:05:57,266 --> 00:05:58,867
Yeah, that's what
I was thinking, too,
191
00:05:58,867 --> 00:05:59,967
but it kind of matches.
192
00:05:59,967 --> 00:06:01,367
[Catherine] I mean,
it's not bad.
193
00:06:01,367 --> 00:06:02,200
[Janel] Okay,
then over here.
194
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,400
You have
your bathroom
on this level.
195
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,367
[Catherine] I see
how they... I like
how they did,
196
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:08,600
you know, the...
some tile work.
197
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,400
[Janel] And then
we're going to go
into the bedroom here,
198
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,467
which you
can access
199
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:12,867
from the living room
or here.
200
00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:14,300
[Catherine] Now it looks
like to me,
201
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,600
I don't think
a king would
fit in here.
202
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200
If it did,
it would be
really tight.
203
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,367
You could
also do, um...
204
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:21,667
you know,
a bunk bed set
205
00:06:21,667 --> 00:06:23,200
if you had, like,
kids down here
206
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,634
-like a bunk bed.
-[Janel] Oh, completely.
207
00:06:27,066 --> 00:06:29,200
[Catherine] Yeah,
I see all this
is open.
208
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,667
You know, I have...
I have a fear
of heights.
209
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,467
-So I've always had
a hard time...
-[Camryn laughs]
210
00:06:33,467 --> 00:06:34,900
with these type
of things.
211
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:37,000
[Camryn]
I don't mind it.
I kinda like being...
212
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,767
[Catherine] I know
a lot of people
love that,
213
00:06:38,767 --> 00:06:41,367
but it would take
a little getting
used to, for me.
214
00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:42,867
[Janel] The only
other downfall
with these is
215
00:06:42,867 --> 00:06:43,767
you always
see the dust
216
00:06:43,767 --> 00:06:44,800
on the top
of the fan.
217
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,900
[all chuckling]
218
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,967
-[Camryn] This is
a nice sized room.
-[Janel] Yes.
219
00:06:48,967 --> 00:06:51,266
-Is this the main
primary or...
-[Janel] No.
220
00:06:51,266 --> 00:06:52,133
[Catherine] No. Okay.
221
00:06:52,133 --> 00:06:53,767
[Janel] This is just
a guest bedroom.
222
00:06:53,767 --> 00:06:55,166
-[Catherine] Nice.
-[Janel] It's super cute.
223
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:57,100
This is
the primary bathroom.
224
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:58,400
This is gonna be
the bathroom
225
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,400
that these
two bedrooms are
gonna share.
226
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,967
[Catherine] Wow!
I like the soaking tub.
227
00:07:02,967 --> 00:07:04,467
What a beautiful shower.
228
00:07:04,467 --> 00:07:07,166
They did
a nice job
with the shower.
229
00:07:07,166 --> 00:07:09,867
[Janel] Now
we're going to go
into the primary.
230
00:07:09,867 --> 00:07:11,867
You may reconsider
coming up here.
231
00:07:11,867 --> 00:07:13,000
It's huge.
232
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,667
[Catherine] Wow,
that's pretty.
233
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:17,066
-I love that.
-This would be what
you wake up to...
234
00:07:17,066 --> 00:07:18,700
every morning.
235
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,266
[Catherine chuckles]
Oh, wow!
236
00:07:20,266 --> 00:07:22,000
What a gorgeous view.
237
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,100
You could easily
put your desk
over here.
238
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:25,600
-[Catherine] I could...
-[Camryn] Put your
desk outside.
239
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,066
[Catherine chuckles]
240
00:07:27,066 --> 00:07:28,767
I don't think
I would
wanna have
241
00:07:28,767 --> 00:07:30,367
my desk and all
up here.
242
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:32,700
I think having
a... office separate
243
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:34,533
from the bedroom
is important.
244
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:36,100
[Camryn]
How are you
gonna do
245
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,767
going down
on these stairs?
246
00:07:37,767 --> 00:07:38,967
[Catherine] This,
you know, I just
247
00:07:38,967 --> 00:07:41,367
I just stay
more closer
to the wall.
248
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:42,967
[Janel] You know,
you could get
one of those
249
00:07:42,967 --> 00:07:45,100
elevator chairs
that go up.
250
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,667
[Camryn chuckling]
I am not
doing that.
251
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,000
[Janel] Okay, so,
what are the pros
252
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,266
and the cons
to this house?
253
00:07:50,266 --> 00:07:52,567
[Catherine] The view is
absolutely beautiful.
254
00:07:52,567 --> 00:07:54,000
-I mean...
-[Janel] Everywhere.
255
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,200
[Catherine]
I'm seeing view
of the water
256
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,367
from every angle,
257
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:58,000
and it's
absolutely gorgeous.
258
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,767
But it is
eastern view,
259
00:07:59,767 --> 00:08:03,000
not sunset view
that I was really
hoping for.
260
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,867
This location.
I mean, I'm good...
15-20 minutes
261
00:08:06,867 --> 00:08:08,166
away from
the highway.
262
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:10,400
Is it too
far away?
263
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,700
I really
like this.
264
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,800
But it would
be nice
to see something
265
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,100
that you know,
a little lower
in my price range,
266
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:18,467
because I still
wanna have
some money left
267
00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:20,634
over to where
I can make
it my own.
268
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:23,567
[narrator]
Her broker finds
an off-market condo
269
00:08:23,567 --> 00:08:25,166
right in Kitty Hawk
with an owner
270
00:08:25,166 --> 00:08:26,600
who's ready
to make a deal.
271
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,467
But there is
a reason.
272
00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:29,900
That's gotta go.
273
00:08:35,667 --> 00:08:37,467
Now this one
is only
274
00:08:37,467 --> 00:08:38,467
a couple
of miles,
275
00:08:38,467 --> 00:08:40,367
once you come
off the bridge.
276
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:41,867
You don't have
to go so far.
277
00:08:41,867 --> 00:08:43,166
[narrator]
Their broker's found
a vacant
278
00:08:43,166 --> 00:08:44,934
vacation property
in Kitty Hawk
279
00:08:44,934 --> 00:08:46,867
that the owner is
considering selling.
280
00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:49,367
It's currently unlisted,
but should fetch
281
00:08:49,367 --> 00:08:51,934
an offer
in the $440,000 range.
282
00:08:51,934 --> 00:08:55,367
All right, these look
like townhouses
or duplexes.
283
00:08:55,367 --> 00:08:57,567
Not what I
was thinking.
284
00:08:57,567 --> 00:08:59,600
That's okay.
We'll see
what the inside...
285
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,166
Maybe it's all
beached out.
286
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:04,033
[Catherine]
Not what I
was expecting.
287
00:09:04,033 --> 00:09:06,266
[Camryn] Kind of
looks like we're
in Northern Virginia.
288
00:09:06,266 --> 00:09:08,166
Interesting.
The door's
on the side
289
00:09:08,166 --> 00:09:09,100
of the house.
290
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,467
[Catherine]
Yeah. I'm not
too sure about
291
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:11,734
the columns, though.
292
00:09:11,734 --> 00:09:13,834
-[Janel] Okay, I know.
-[Catherine] Not what
I was expecting.
293
00:09:13,834 --> 00:09:16,767
[Janel] I know.
Just humor me.
294
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:20,166
This is
a three-bedroom,
3.5 bath
295
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:23,266
condo style townhome
that feels like
296
00:09:23,266 --> 00:09:25,100
a single-family
when you pull up.
297
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:28,033
-[Catherine] Okay.
-Come on inside
where it's warm
298
00:09:28,033 --> 00:09:30,300
and I'm gonna
tell you why
you might like it.
299
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,467
[Catherine] Okay.
Definitely needs
to be painted...
300
00:09:34,467 --> 00:09:36,066
[Camryn] It's big
though, Mom.
301
00:09:36,066 --> 00:09:37,567
-It's a lot of space.
-[Catherine] Yeah,
it's nice and big.
302
00:09:37,567 --> 00:09:39,767
I could see
this as not
only dining room,
303
00:09:39,767 --> 00:09:41,500
but play games.
My family likes
304
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,567
to play
board games.
305
00:09:43,567 --> 00:09:45,166
The island's interesting.
306
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:46,600
I'm not
too thrilled
307
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,100
-about that
big column.
-[Camryn] Not really.
308
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:49,266
[Catherine] That's got
to go.
309
00:09:49,266 --> 00:09:52,200
-The countertop can
be changed.
-Yeah.
310
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,834
Imagine this gone,
new appliances
311
00:09:54,834 --> 00:09:56,567
and painted
white cabinets
312
00:09:56,567 --> 00:09:58,834
and a beautiful
blue backsplash.
313
00:09:58,834 --> 00:10:00,266
This place would look
completely different.
314
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,266
You could make
this kitchen amazing
315
00:10:02,266 --> 00:10:04,166
if we got
the right price
for the house.
316
00:10:04,166 --> 00:10:05,500
[Camryn] You really want
to do all that,
317
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:06,734
or would you
rather just
318
00:10:06,734 --> 00:10:08,100
buy something
that's already done
319
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,834
and you don't have
to do anything?
320
00:10:09,834 --> 00:10:11,166
I do like the idea
of being able
321
00:10:11,166 --> 00:10:13,300
to take something
and make it my own.
322
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,200
Okay.
I'm not seeing
any water.
323
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,934
[Janel]
This one doesn't
face the water.
324
00:10:18,934 --> 00:10:20,266
But we can get
a better deal
325
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:21,600
versus being
on the water.
326
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,166
So, you're about
a half of a mile
to the ocean
327
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,467
and about a half
of a mile
to the sound.
328
00:10:26,467 --> 00:10:28,600
There's tons
of beach accesses
329
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,867
right across
the way.
330
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:32,200
-Is there
a community pool?
-[Janel] Yes.
331
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,200
-[Catherine] Okay.
-[Camryn] That's really nice.
332
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,166
-[Catherine]
The primary?
-[Janel] Yes.
333
00:10:36,166 --> 00:10:38,400
[Catherine] Wow.
This is a nice size.
334
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,667
I could fit
a king-size bed
in here.
335
00:10:40,667 --> 00:10:42,166
You like that
it's on the bottom floor?
336
00:10:42,166 --> 00:10:43,567
'Cause, you know
you like...
337
00:10:43,567 --> 00:10:45,166
you wanted
the reverse
floor plan.
338
00:10:45,166 --> 00:10:46,734
I know I really
do like
339
00:10:46,734 --> 00:10:48,166
the reverse
floor plan,
340
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:51,033
but having
that bedroom
on the first level,
341
00:10:51,033 --> 00:10:53,200
-it's kind of nice.
-[Janel] So, I knew
it wasn't...
342
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,033
exactly what you
asked for,
343
00:10:55,033 --> 00:10:56,767
-but I was thinking
it had...
-It's a good option.
344
00:10:56,767 --> 00:10:59,867
...some things
that might fit
your needs.
345
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:02,033
[Catherine] Right.
This is interesting.
346
00:11:02,033 --> 00:11:03,300
I'm not too sure
about this.
347
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,600
I don't think
I've ever
seen lights
348
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,367
on a mirror.
349
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:09,567
It's kind
of dark too.
350
00:11:09,567 --> 00:11:12,333
I would have
some work
to do in here.
351
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:15,467
[Janel]
I was thinking
that you could
352
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:18,166
use this space
up here
as your office.
353
00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:20,834
[Catherine] This gives
me more than
just office space.
354
00:11:20,834 --> 00:11:22,200
It gives me
office space,
355
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,667
sitting area,
craft area.
356
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:26,567
You're warming
me up.
357
00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:29,567
This definitely
could be
the guest bedroom.
358
00:11:29,567 --> 00:11:30,734
You mean
my bedroom.
359
00:11:30,734 --> 00:11:32,100
[Janel]
And when you
paint these walls,
360
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:34,166
you're white
and you're blue
and stuff,
361
00:11:34,166 --> 00:11:36,066
it'll modernize it
and everything.
362
00:11:36,066 --> 00:11:39,967
I like the floor,
the color
of the tile,
363
00:11:39,967 --> 00:11:42,100
and I think
I can make it
more beachy.
364
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,500
I mean,
even though
the cabinets
365
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,300
are just
your basic,
I mean...
366
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:49,200
I could paint them,
can add knobs
and pulls, and...
367
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,867
[Janel] $2 a knob
makes a world
368
00:11:51,867 --> 00:11:53,400
-of difference.
-I know, it does.
369
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,166
Wow, this is huge.
370
00:11:56,166 --> 00:11:58,734
I could really
envision seeing
371
00:11:58,734 --> 00:12:00,767
the bunk beds
in here.
372
00:12:00,767 --> 00:12:03,367
For the grandkids,
the grandnieces,
373
00:12:03,367 --> 00:12:04,767
you and your friends.
374
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:06,533
I really like it.
375
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:11,033
Wow, that is
a nice
soaking tub.
376
00:12:11,033 --> 00:12:13,367
Oh, my gosh,
all the grandkids
would love this.
377
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:14,266
And still a...
378
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:16,834
[Janel] You still have
a stand-up shower.
379
00:12:16,834 --> 00:12:18,500
Make a couple
of other good points
to you.
380
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,266
-Okay.
-So, one point is,
381
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:23,667
as you're driving
back and forth
to see Camryn,
382
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,567
this is a little bit
closer for you
because you're closer
383
00:12:26,567 --> 00:12:28,367
to the bridge
to get in and out.
384
00:12:28,367 --> 00:12:30,300
So, you could save,
you know,
385
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:32,367
20 to 30 to 40 minutes
on your driving.
386
00:12:32,367 --> 00:12:35,300
[Catherine]
It is a lot
of possibilities.
387
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:36,433
You did give
me that.
388
00:12:36,433 --> 00:12:39,834
And you certainly
gave me the office
bonus area,
389
00:12:39,834 --> 00:12:41,567
which I was
not expecting.
390
00:12:41,567 --> 00:12:44,000
Great space for,
you know,
the grandkids,
391
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
grandnieces,
your own
office space.
392
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,500
It's a lot
of room,
393
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,567
but it has
a lot of work
to be done, so...
394
00:12:49,567 --> 00:12:54,367
I would really
like to see
a house where...
395
00:12:54,367 --> 00:12:57,100
that main
living space is
on the top level
396
00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:59,266
where I have a...
even if it's just
a little bit
397
00:12:59,266 --> 00:13:01,367
of a view
of the water.
398
00:13:01,367 --> 00:13:04,200
You know, I wanna
feel like I'm
at the beach.
399
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,500
[narrator]
Janel comes through
with the right style
400
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:08,934
in the right spot.
But...
401
00:13:08,934 --> 00:13:10,567
[Janel] In order
to get you the view,
402
00:13:10,567 --> 00:13:12,000
I had to get
a little creative.
403
00:13:17,266 --> 00:13:18,934
[Catherine] Wow,
look at that view
of the sound.
404
00:13:18,934 --> 00:13:19,867
It's beautiful.
405
00:13:19,867 --> 00:13:21,834
I really like
this area.
406
00:13:21,834 --> 00:13:24,300
But the homes
tend to be
407
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,867
more expensive.
408
00:13:25,867 --> 00:13:28,166
I think that
if you find
409
00:13:28,166 --> 00:13:30,133
a house for,
you, know, a little,
410
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:31,767
you know,
over your budget,
411
00:13:31,767 --> 00:13:33,967
why not just
treat yourself
to a nice home
412
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:36,767
you're gonna live
in for a long period
of time, you know?
413
00:13:36,767 --> 00:13:37,900
Just go for it.
414
00:13:40,867 --> 00:13:42,767
[Janel] Welcome
to your
boat house.
415
00:13:42,767 --> 00:13:44,133
[Catherine]
This is beautiful.
416
00:13:44,133 --> 00:13:45,934
And it's a lot
of water view.
417
00:13:45,934 --> 00:13:48,300
[Janel] Yes,
this is the sound.
418
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,166
Complete sunset view.
419
00:13:50,166 --> 00:13:54,266
So this is
a two bedroom,
1.5 bath,
420
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:57,667
1167-square-foot
townhome.
421
00:13:57,667 --> 00:13:59,934
So I know
a little small.
422
00:13:59,934 --> 00:14:01,400
[Catherine]
A little small.
423
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,367
[Janel] But
in order to get
you the view,
424
00:14:04,367 --> 00:14:06,066
I had to get
a little creative.
425
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:08,967
The house
is listed
at 600,000.
426
00:14:08,967 --> 00:14:11,133
-Phew!
-But this
one comes
427
00:14:11,133 --> 00:14:12,200
completely furnished.
428
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,567
It's also completely
move-in ready
429
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:16,166
and just
your style.
430
00:14:16,166 --> 00:14:18,734
This house
screams Catherine.
431
00:14:18,734 --> 00:14:20,166
[Catherine]
New steps
that they put in
432
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:21,200
and a gate
at the top,
433
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,467
which is great
with the kids
and the grandkids.
434
00:14:24,467 --> 00:14:25,567
So, before we
go inside,
435
00:14:25,567 --> 00:14:26,600
let's check
out this...
436
00:14:26,767 --> 00:14:27,834
Hot tub!
437
00:14:27,834 --> 00:14:30,500
[Camryn]
Oh, my gosh.
No way.
438
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:32,133
This is your view,
and you're sitting
in your hot tub.
439
00:14:32,133 --> 00:14:34,667
I would...
a glass of wine,
a cocktail.
440
00:14:34,667 --> 00:14:36,867
That is very nice.
441
00:14:36,867 --> 00:14:38,567
I wanted Catherine
to see this
particular home,
442
00:14:38,567 --> 00:14:40,767
because it does have
the reverse floor plan.
443
00:14:40,767 --> 00:14:44,567
It does have
the beautiful sunsets
that she desires.
444
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:46,133
But there's
a price for that,
445
00:14:46,133 --> 00:14:47,467
and Catherine
will know
the second
446
00:14:47,467 --> 00:14:48,567
she walks
on that property,
447
00:14:48,567 --> 00:14:50,033
if it's meant
for her or not.
448
00:14:50,033 --> 00:14:52,567
[Catherine]
Wow, this is
a great entrance.
449
00:14:52,567 --> 00:14:55,967
I love
the color,
450
00:14:55,967 --> 00:14:58,934
and I love the...
what they did
with the closet.
451
00:14:58,934 --> 00:15:01,133
It is absolutely
beautiful.
452
00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:03,600
The vanity
is gorgeous.
453
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,934
I love it,
looks like driftwood,
454
00:15:05,934 --> 00:15:07,867
and then shower
and tub combo.
455
00:15:07,867 --> 00:15:09,867
But this is
the only bathroom.
456
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:12,000
-Only full bath
-So, this would be
my primary bathroom
457
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,500
that I would have
to share with,
458
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,266
you know,
the likes of her
and others.
459
00:15:15,266 --> 00:15:16,767
[Janel]
Only primary bath.
460
00:15:16,767 --> 00:15:18,867
There is
the half bath
upstairs.
461
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,300
[Catherine] Okay,
so, this is, like
the second bedroom.
462
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:23,834
It is a little smaller.
463
00:15:23,834 --> 00:15:25,066
[Janel]
Look at the view.
464
00:15:25,066 --> 00:15:26,834
I know it is
a beautiful view.
465
00:15:26,834 --> 00:15:28,367
Waking up with that
view is, wow.
466
00:15:28,367 --> 00:15:30,734
This is the primary
bedroom here.
467
00:15:30,734 --> 00:15:32,734
[Catherine]
That's a nice size
for a primary.
468
00:15:32,734 --> 00:15:33,667
[Janel] Much bigger.
469
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:34,734
[Catherine]
And you said
the furnishings
470
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:35,634
come with it?
471
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:36,934
[Janel]
This house comes
fully furnished.
472
00:15:36,934 --> 00:15:39,266
-I mean,
I really like the...
-For a dollar.
473
00:15:39,266 --> 00:15:40,467
For a dollars.
I like that.
474
00:15:40,467 --> 00:15:42,400
[Janel] For a dollar.
Beautiful, beautiful.
475
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,600
So, it just hit me.
This is the reverse
floor plan.
476
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,834
I'm so excited
about that.
477
00:15:47,834 --> 00:15:50,567
This has everything
that you wanted,
478
00:15:50,567 --> 00:15:52,166
minus the size
and the price.
479
00:15:52,166 --> 00:15:53,266
[Catherine chuckles]
480
00:15:53,266 --> 00:15:56,133
-So you have
an upper deck here.
-[Catherine] Okay.
481
00:15:56,133 --> 00:15:57,567
You cannot beat
that view.
482
00:15:57,567 --> 00:15:59,266
-[Camryn] There's
water everywhere.
-[Catherine] I know.
483
00:15:59,266 --> 00:16:00,500
[Camryn]
That's so cool.
484
00:16:02,266 --> 00:16:04,033
[Janel] So,
this is
the half bath.
485
00:16:04,033 --> 00:16:05,567
[Catherine]
It's cute.
Since you only had
486
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:07,300
the one bathroom
downstairs,
487
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,000
I can see
somebody needed
to come up here
488
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,934
for getting ready
and having a little
bit more space
489
00:16:12,934 --> 00:16:15,000
to put some
things on is nice.
490
00:16:16,166 --> 00:16:19,000
Oh, wow.
I love the countertop
491
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,467
and I love
the big sink.
492
00:16:21,467 --> 00:16:23,467
-[Janel] Big,
huge island.
-[Catherine] Right.
493
00:16:23,467 --> 00:16:26,767
Lots of different
barstools
for your grandkids.
494
00:16:26,767 --> 00:16:28,867
This also gives you
plenty of room
495
00:16:28,867 --> 00:16:30,734
over here
to be able
to eat.
496
00:16:30,734 --> 00:16:31,867
I know.
I love the stools.
497
00:16:31,867 --> 00:16:34,266
Still be able
to have your roll
top desk over here.
498
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:37,867
But even better,
look at this view.
499
00:16:37,867 --> 00:16:39,367
-[Catherine] Oh, wow.
-[Janel] It is amazing!
500
00:16:39,367 --> 00:16:40,467
[Catherine]
What a gorgeous view.
501
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:41,767
And what a deck!
502
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,400
-Wow!
This is huge!
-[Janel] It's huge!
503
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,767
[Catherine] Boy,
you've given
me something
504
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:45,834
to really
think about.
505
00:16:45,834 --> 00:16:47,166
I'm gonna have
to really,
really try
506
00:16:47,166 --> 00:16:49,266
to figure out
the numbers
on this one,
507
00:16:49,266 --> 00:16:51,066
and see...
508
00:16:51,066 --> 00:16:52,400
But it's so pretty.
509
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,133
My mom has
always kind
of made sure
510
00:16:54,133 --> 00:16:56,066
that the kids
are taken care
of first,
511
00:16:56,066 --> 00:16:58,734
before her
and that she likes
to make sure
512
00:16:58,734 --> 00:17:00,266
that we're
all settled
and we have
513
00:17:00,266 --> 00:17:02,667
everything we need,
but I think
514
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:04,934
she needs
to really put
herself first
515
00:17:04,934 --> 00:17:07,467
and really
just go for
what she wants.
516
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,100
It is super cute.
517
00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:10,600
I really like it.
518
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,467
I love the reverse
floor plan.
519
00:17:12,467 --> 00:17:13,567
So thank you
for it. Yeah.
520
00:17:13,567 --> 00:17:17,066
I love having
the living room,
dining room up here.
521
00:17:17,066 --> 00:17:18,967
-And then the view
is incredible.
-It's nice cooking dinner.
522
00:17:18,967 --> 00:17:20,567
The bedrooms downstairs,
523
00:17:20,567 --> 00:17:22,033
they are super cute.
524
00:17:22,033 --> 00:17:23,667
Having to
share a bathroom...
525
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:25,767
-I mean, I grew up
that way...
-[Camryn] A little iffy.
526
00:17:25,767 --> 00:17:28,100
...so I mean,
the price...
527
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:30,467
that's kind
of pushing
it for me.
528
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:32,367
Everything is,
you know, here.
529
00:17:32,367 --> 00:17:33,834
It's move-in ready.
It's ready to go.
530
00:17:33,834 --> 00:17:35,266
Why not
treat yourself
531
00:17:35,266 --> 00:17:36,567
and spend
that money
532
00:17:36,567 --> 00:17:37,767
and have everything
you want?
533
00:17:37,767 --> 00:17:39,367
You've got
that view
534
00:17:39,367 --> 00:17:40,367
you've been dying
to have.
535
00:17:40,367 --> 00:17:42,800
Why not spend
just a little bit
more money?
536
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:50,667
You need
to make
a decision.
537
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:53,834
I want to be
at the beach
like tomorrow.
538
00:17:53,834 --> 00:17:55,467
I know,
we all do.
539
00:17:55,467 --> 00:17:57,367
[narrator]
After decades
of planning,
540
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,667
Catherine's ready
to purchase her
dream beach house
541
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:02,567
in North Carolina's
Outer Banks.
542
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:05,233
[Catherine]
Let's talk about
that beach box.
543
00:18:05,233 --> 00:18:07,000
Super cute,
beautiful views.
544
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,634
[Camryn]
The kitchen
was gorgeous.
545
00:18:08,634 --> 00:18:10,667
The open concept
from the living room
546
00:18:10,667 --> 00:18:12,266
into the dining room,
547
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:14,767
with the view
of the water.
548
00:18:14,767 --> 00:18:18,333
Only 480.
It fit a lot
of your needs.
549
00:18:18,333 --> 00:18:20,767
But it is quite
a drive.
550
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,266
[Camryn]
What did you think
551
00:18:22,266 --> 00:18:24,967
of the place
that wasn't listed?
552
00:18:24,967 --> 00:18:27,533
Condo style
with the community pool.
553
00:18:27,533 --> 00:18:30,266
[Catherine]
Wow, every bedroom
had its own bathroom.
554
00:18:30,266 --> 00:18:32,567
It was so close
to everything there
555
00:18:32,567 --> 00:18:35,033
in Kitty Hawk,
and I really
liked that idea.
556
00:18:35,033 --> 00:18:36,433
What I didn't like
about it
557
00:18:36,433 --> 00:18:38,734
is that I didn't
feel like it was
at the beach.
558
00:18:38,734 --> 00:18:40,133
[Janel]
For the right price,
559
00:18:40,133 --> 00:18:41,767
you could rip
everything out
560
00:18:41,767 --> 00:18:43,567
and totally
Catherine it.
561
00:18:43,567 --> 00:18:44,967
[Camryn] Do you really
wanna take on
562
00:18:44,967 --> 00:18:47,266
a big project
like remodeling?
563
00:18:47,266 --> 00:18:49,266
'Cause you're not
just redoing one thing.
564
00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:51,066
It's going
to be a lot.
565
00:18:51,066 --> 00:18:52,433
[Janel] And what
did you think
566
00:18:52,433 --> 00:18:55,367
about the townhome
on the sound?
567
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:58,467
The hot tub,
the gorgeous
Catherine kitchen,
568
00:18:58,467 --> 00:19:00,166
beautiful sunset views.
569
00:19:00,166 --> 00:19:02,100
[Catherine] To me,
that speaks beach.
570
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:03,934
I really, really
love the place.
571
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:06,834
It's super cute,
but that 600,000.
572
00:19:06,834 --> 00:19:09,133
[Janel] You're also
paying for completely
remodeled,
573
00:19:09,133 --> 00:19:10,567
-all the furnishings...
-[Catherine] True.
574
00:19:10,567 --> 00:19:11,967
...the view.
575
00:19:11,967 --> 00:19:13,166
The view is priceless.
576
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:15,767
And not
to rush you
at all.
577
00:19:15,767 --> 00:19:18,967
The prime season
is coming,
578
00:19:18,967 --> 00:19:21,533
so you do need
to pick a property
579
00:19:21,533 --> 00:19:23,133
really, really,
really, really fast!
580
00:19:23,133 --> 00:19:24,400
[chuckling]
581
00:19:33,734 --> 00:19:34,834
[doorbell ringing]
582
00:19:34,834 --> 00:19:36,400
What do you think
about mine?
583
00:19:37,233 --> 00:19:38,834
That's cute.
584
00:19:38,834 --> 00:19:42,066
I bought
the unlisted condo...
585
00:19:42,066 --> 00:19:44,166
with the community pool
in Kitty Hawk.
586
00:19:44,166 --> 00:19:46,166
Having that extra
office space,
587
00:19:46,166 --> 00:19:48,667
having those
three full bathrooms
588
00:19:48,667 --> 00:19:50,166
really appealed
to me,
589
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:51,934
because I know
I'm gonna have
a lot of people
590
00:19:51,934 --> 00:19:53,834
in and out of here,
and I like
to make sure
591
00:19:53,834 --> 00:19:55,767
that they're
all comfortable
as well.
592
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:57,934
Where are you
gonna put
your desk?
593
00:19:57,934 --> 00:20:00,567
That rolltop desk
that I painted.
594
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:01,300
I'm going
to put it
595
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:03,367
right between
the two windows.
596
00:20:03,367 --> 00:20:04,533
Since, I was
gonna have
597
00:20:04,533 --> 00:20:06,000
to put some
work into it.
598
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,467
I did not want
to pay more
599
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:08,934
than 425
for this house.
600
00:20:08,934 --> 00:20:13,133
So, we put
an offer for 425
and it was accepted.
601
00:20:13,133 --> 00:20:15,667
And I knew
that this would
602
00:20:15,667 --> 00:20:17,066
give me
the opportunity
603
00:20:17,066 --> 00:20:18,133
to make it
the beach house
604
00:20:18,133 --> 00:20:19,734
that I want it
to be.
605
00:20:19,734 --> 00:20:21,767
I can't wait
for Janel
to come see it,
606
00:20:21,767 --> 00:20:24,634
because, you know,
she has seen it,
607
00:20:24,634 --> 00:20:26,667
you know,
before, you know,
at the beginning,
608
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,367
-the way it was.
-Oh, yeah.
609
00:20:28,367 --> 00:20:30,834
Since I closed,
within the four weeks,
610
00:20:30,834 --> 00:20:33,266
I was able
to get quite
611
00:20:33,266 --> 00:20:34,867
a bit
of the renovations done,
612
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:36,867
such as
new flooring,
new carpet,
613
00:20:36,867 --> 00:20:39,767
new toilets,
new countertops,
614
00:20:39,767 --> 00:20:41,867
new furniture,
paint, fresh paint
615
00:20:41,867 --> 00:20:43,233
throughout
the whole house,
616
00:20:43,233 --> 00:20:44,967
and I'm
very excited
about it.
617
00:20:44,967 --> 00:20:46,667
It is so
much different
618
00:20:46,667 --> 00:20:49,867
-and so open
and so sparkling.
-[Catherine] And beachy.
619
00:20:49,867 --> 00:20:52,133
-Yes.
-[Catherine]
Did I beach it out?
620
00:20:52,133 --> 00:20:53,667
There were quite
a few compromises
621
00:20:53,667 --> 00:20:56,100
I had to make
with choosing
this home.
622
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,367
One, I'm not
getting my view.
623
00:20:58,367 --> 00:20:59,967
But I am
very close.
624
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:02,533
So I am taking
that as an opportunity
625
00:21:02,533 --> 00:21:05,166
to get myself
out more
and walking more
626
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:07,000
so I can go
see those views.
627
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:08,767
Finally a cocktail!
628
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:10,266
[all chuckling]
629
00:21:10,266 --> 00:21:12,467
[Catherine] I have been
coming down
to the Outer Banks
630
00:21:12,467 --> 00:21:14,166
since I was little,
631
00:21:14,166 --> 00:21:15,834
and it's always
been my dream
632
00:21:15,834 --> 00:21:18,100
to come down
and live down here.
633
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:19,834
I haven't even
really had
the chance
634
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:21,934
to sit down
and let
it soak in
635
00:21:21,934 --> 00:21:23,567
that oh, my gosh,
I'm here
636
00:21:23,567 --> 00:21:24,934
in the Outer Banks.
637
00:21:24,934 --> 00:21:26,333
This is it.
638
00:21:26,333 --> 00:21:28,133
This is gonna be
my forever home.
