LAUREN: I am so glad to show you a wonderful starter option here in Burke.
We are in the neighborhood of Wooded Glen which is on a quiet court, and the beauty of this one too is that it has a really nice private backyard.
JEN: Yeah, as we were driving in, it was just, like, trees, trees, trees.
RICARDO: And, It definitely lives up to its name, Wooded Glen.
LAUREN: There is a lot of bang for your buck here.
There are wonderful updates inside, but a lot of room to grow.
Are you all so excited to go tour your very first house?
RICARDO: Absolutely.
JEN: Yes.
LAUREN: Awesome.
Well, have a great tour and I'll see you after for the game.
JEN: All right.
Thank you.
RICARDO: Thank you, Lauren.
Oh, wow.
This is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
JEN: Yeah, I'm drawn to this window.
You know I love houseplants.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm.
JEN: This is the perfect environment for them.
This early daylight, they are going to soak that up and be so happy in this room.
RICARDO: Yeah, I think these walls are perfect for artwork, for family photographs.
Let's go take a look at this kitchen.
JEN: All right.
RICARDO: This looks interesting.
Okay, it's a dining room and kitchen.
JEN: Oh.
RICARDO: Open concept.
I like this.
JEN: Me too.
RICARDO: I like this.
JEN: This feels very open and airy.
RICARDO: Yeah, I love an island, too.
JEN: Yeah, ample counter space and a ton of storage.
RICARDO: And also, look at this deck.
You've got a great view of the woods and it looks really secluded and private.
JEN: Yeah, it's pretty big.
Maybe we'll go upstairs.
RICARDO: Okay, yeah, we can go upstairs.
JEN: Oh, wait a minute, wait.
What do we have over here?
Let's... RICARDO: This is probably the HVAC.
JEN: Oh, half bath.
RICARDO: Oh, nice.
On the main level.
JEN: This backsplash is adorable to me.
RICARDO: I love the color pattern.
JEN: Very serene and calming in here.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm.
Let's look upstairs.
All right.
This is great.
JEN: Yeah.
RICARDO: Lots of rooms up here.
JEN: Yeah.
RICARDO: Still very bright, though.
JEN: Let's check out the first room.
RICARDO: Okay.
JEN: Oh, great room.
RICARDO: This is cute.
JEN: Yeah, again with the morning light.
Double closet in here.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm, this would be a great home office.
JEN: And I think you could fit a queen-sized bed in here, don't you?
RICARDO: True.
JEN: Let's see what else we got.
RICARDO: Okay, a-ha, also a good-sized bedroom.
JEN: Yeah.
RICARDO: What else is up here?
JEN: Here we have our full bath.
This bathroom could maybe use a little refresh just to make it your own.
RICARDO: Great starter.
So this is the primary.
Oh, wow.
JEN: Wow.
RICARDO: These ceilings are very surprising.
JEN: Yeah, really.
And I know you're a big fan of a tall ceiling.
RICARDO: Yeah.
(Jen laughs).
RICARDO: It's too tall?
JEN: No.
RICARDO: Oh.
JEN: I don't think it could ever be too tall, but... RICARDO: Me neither.
JEN: This is great and these windows really open the room up to nature.
It feels very private and secluded.
RICARDO: Yeah, I love this tile work.
JEN: Yeah.
RICARDO: And a really, really great shower head.
JEN: I might consider replacing this vanity with something a little more modern.
RICARDO: I can see that.
JEN: Well, I'm really excited to move onto the closet.
RICARDO: Okay.
JEN: All right.
Oh.
It's two closets.
RICARDO: It's two closets?
JEN: Yeah.
RICARDO: Look at that.
JEN: I didn't realize.
Hello?
Anybody home?
RICARDO: It's just me.
I'll be out in a second.
JEN: Hey, keep it down over there.
(Ricardo laughs).
JEN: I thought it absolutely was a pass-through.
RICARDO: I wonder what it would be like if you knocked the wall down.
You could make it a true walk-in.
JEN: Yeah, you might actually lose a little bit of storage space by not having it partitioned.
RICARDO: That's true.
JEN: Because they are using the wall in a really smart way to add storage.
RICARDO: True.
JEN: So, we'll just have to think about it when we move in.
RICARDO: Well, before we sign the paperwork, let's go check out the basement.
JEN: Oh, okay, great.
(Ricardo laughs).
JEN: I'm really looking forward to seeing what's down here.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: Oh, wow.
A bonus room.
RICARDO: Oh, this is great.
Look how bright this is.
JEN: Yeah and I'm so surprised that the ceilings on this lower level are so high.
RICARDO: We're in a basement and I can do this.
JEN: It's incredible.
RICARDO: But, the fireplace has got to be the piece de resistance of this room.
JEN: It really is a nice centerpiece and I think maybe this becomes your primary living room area.
RICARDO: Right.
JEN: And it walks right out into the backyard.
Oh.
RICARDO: I think I see Lauren.
You know what this means?
JEN: What?
RICARDO: It's time to play our first game.
Let's go.
JEN: All right.
RICARDO: Hello.
LAUREN: Welcome back.
JEN: Hey.
LAUREN: What did you guys think of the very first house?
RICARDO: This yard is fantastic.
We didn't even really get a chance to appreciate this.
LAUREN: Yeah, absolutely.
This outdoor area is wonderful and then you have the upper level deck from the kitchen with the bump out.
RICARDO: Looking out, it felt like you were in your own private tree house.
JEN: Even with neighbors on either side.
LAUREN: Yeah, so it really feels secluded.
JEN: Given the square footage of this home, I was shocked by the amount of storage.
Everywhere you looked there was a closet.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: And there's a place for everything in this house.
LAUREN: Oh, yeah.
RICARDO: And the space, I have to say, that primary, that was a surprise I was not expecting.
A welcome surprise.
JEN: Yeah.
LAUREN: And on all levels too, right?
Even in the lower level.
Everywhere.
It just gives it... RICARDO: Even in the basement.
LAUREN: Yeah, that tall ceiling height despite a smaller square footage really just makes the room feel spacious.
RICARDO: Okay, before we play our first game, would you tell us the stats of this house one more time?
LAUREN: It is four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, 1,785 square feet, including the basement.
Built in 1986.
If you had to pick a list price, what would it be?
JEN: You want me to go first?
RICARDO: Yes.
(laughter).
JEN: Oh, okay.
This is a lot of pressure.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: But, I'm going to say $525,000.
LAUREN: Okay.
RICARDO: Okay, I will say $500,000.
LAUREN: The actual list price is $615,000.
RICARDO: Whoa.
LAUREN: So Jen is closer.
RICARDO: Congratulations.
JEN: Yay, oh my gosh.
RICARDO: Wow.
JEN: I can't believe it.
RICARDO: It's hard to believe this is where we're starting from.
I can't imagine where we're going from here but... JEN: No.
RICARDO: I cannot wait to see.
