Couple’s home becomes ‘unsellable’ over one feature

A US couple’s huge, two hectare property has been deemed unsellable over one major issue.

In an episode of Unsellable Houses, Bob and Karolyn were considering selling their home after 30 years.

Real estate experts Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb were called in to help the pair prepare their home for the market.

The home situated in Washington’s Snohomish County boasted sweeping views and an entertaining space, however the twin sisters were surprised by one detail in the home — carpet in the bathroom.

The TV personalities couldn’t help but laugh when they pointed out the dated green carpet extended into the bathroom.

“And the green carpet is continuous,” the siblings said in unison.

“I mean, why would you end it at the doorway? No logical reason,” Lyndsay joked.

It wasn’t the only problem.

The experts noticed a tripping hazard with a large step between the shower and bath, also the only tiled portion of the bathroom.

“A lot of tiles around the bath, you’re losing a lot of space. It makes it feel tighter than it really is,” Lyndsay said.

The outdated bathroom was a major obstacle for Bob and Karolyn selling their home.

The couple decided to renovate, giving Leslie and Lyndsay a $76,000 budget.

The twins removed the tiled shower, ripped up the carpet. They also installed underfloor heating as a solution to Bob’s fear of getting cold feet.

The brand-new bathroom featured a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, a stylish bamboo ladder to hang towels from, as well as a stool, plants and bath caddy with candles.

Leslie and Lyndsay revealed the bathroom’s transformation which left the couple stunned.

“This is so pretty!” Karolyn said.

Leslie and Lyndsay estimated the renovation made a huge difference increasing the value of the couple’s home from $3.06m to $3.22m.
