Tour an Elegant Family Home Brimming With Custom Touches
Young couple Marc and Stephanie and their little boy were more than ready to move out of Stephanie's parents' house and find a home of their own. But when their search within the city proved too expensive, they knew they had to call in the Property Brothers for help. Once Drew Scott explained the real estate benefits of living outside the city, it was up to Jonathan Scott to transform their chosen home into a functional, family-friendly abode. Here's how the co-host took a tired house and transformed it into a modern space with plenty of customized touches.
