00:00Nothing beats life on the lake, saying goodbye to the daily grind and hello to incredible waterfront views,
00:10opulent homes, gorgeous interiors, and a lifestyle to match.
00:15Julie and Mateo are searching for a spacious waterfront vacation home that's ideal for entertaining.
00:21With a shared love of cooking, it's essential that their new retreat includes an exceptional gourmet kitchen.
00:26I love these ceilings.
00:28Very spacious.
00:30They're looking for lakefront luxury.
00:35Having successfully bought and flipped several properties,
00:39couple Julia and Mateo are eager to expand their portfolio and secure their dream vacation home.
00:44They envision a home with a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen and room to entertain friends and family.
00:50I'm Julia.
00:51And I'm Mateo.
00:53And we've been married for eight years.
00:54Our first date, Mateo being Italian, he had to take us to an Italian restaurant.
00:58My favorite food is pizza, so he won me over right there.
01:01I didn't realize how easy it would be to win over a girl by just offering her some pizza.
01:05I'm a children's book author, and I'm actually currently working on my fourth book.
01:13I'm the owner of a company that installs security cameras and alarm systems.
01:16We have also bought and sold a few properties, and now we are looking for a vacation home.
01:22On my wish list, I would absolutely love a gourmet kitchen.
01:26That's all on my wish list as well, because I also like to cook.
01:29Best thing I make is pancakes.
01:31Crispy on the top and then fluffy in the center.
01:34She puts a ton of love in them.
01:35Best dishes that I make are pizza and pennella vodka.
01:38I ask him to make that for me almost every other day.
01:42I'm a car collector, so I would like to have a big garage.
01:46And I also like making a cocktail, so I would like a bar.
01:49I would love shallow entry to the water, so I can take a kayak out.
01:54This is something that we've been wanting to do for a long time.
01:57I'm looking forward to this house journey almost as much as I'm looking forward to Julia's pancakes.
02:03Agent Woodrow Monteiro will be working alongside Julia and Mateo to find them the ultimate vacation home.
02:10Julia and Mateo want a house that will give them enough space for them to entertain their friends and family,
02:15and I have a unique house to show them today.
02:19The first home Woodrow will be showcasing is Rustic Vibes,
02:23a Mediterranean-inspired home spanning 4,300 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
02:30The gourmet kitchen features leathered granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and a wet bar.
02:36The living room features shaved log walls and a striking wood-burning fireplace.
02:40The primary bedroom offers breathtaking waterfront views and a luxurious en suite,
02:45all on 117 feet of waterfrontage.
02:49Good morning, you guys. Welcome to your first property.
02:51Before we go, I want to point out this detached garage.
02:54It's big enough to fit at least four cars.
02:56We're off to an incredible start, Woodrow.
02:58I'm so glad to hear that. Let's head in.
03:01Wow, this is a large, open kitchen.
03:05It was designed to look Mediterranean.
03:07You have rustic original beams, painted with fresh white.
03:11It does remind me of being in Italy.
03:13You have this marble island, commercial-grade high-end appliances.
03:17You also have a wet bar.
03:18We can put an espresso bar there, too.
03:20I'm really enjoying this six-burner gas stove.
03:23I can picture six pots of pasta on top of there to feed my entire family.
03:27I like that deep sink.
03:28However, I would prefer it to be in the island so that I'm not looking out at the front of the house,
03:33but having a view of the water.
03:35Obviously, there's an additional cost, but you can definitely move the sink.
03:38I'm glad you like the kitchen, minus some cosmetic changes,
03:41but I can't wait to show you the living area.
03:43After you.
03:44This is beautiful.
03:46Shaved log walls, beautiful beams.
03:48In between, they have this plastered effect and a lot of natural light.
03:52I like the rustic look and feel.
03:55I do like the effect in the ceiling, and I also like the skylights.
03:58And directly behind you, we have the fireplace.
04:01You can actually put a big log in there.
04:06Oh, no offense, Woodrow.
04:08It's giving me kind of like a morgue feeling.
04:11Easy fix.
04:12You can remove the metal and add some stone.
04:14That would be something I think I would prefer.
04:16I'm really excited to show you the primary suite next.
04:18Okay.
04:19Oh, this is nice.
04:23It's not bad.
04:25Welcome to your primary suite.
04:26It may seem small, but you do have a king-size bed,
04:29and we have a walk-in closet.
04:31I can picture myself waking up in the morning and just looking outside.
04:34That's all I need.
04:35I'd love to show you guys the ensuite.
04:37Oh, this is very bright.
04:39Oh, this is very pretty.
04:41Welcome to your ensuite.
04:42Marble top, floating vanity, large shower with herring bowl tile,
04:46and you have this access to outdoor space.
04:50I really like the walk-out.
04:51I just wish that it was in the primary bedroom.
04:53Unfortunately, you can't move the deck.
04:55We haven't been outside yet, so let's check out the lakefront.
04:58Oh, this is amazing.
05:01Beautiful, stunning views.
05:03You also have a jacuzzi.
05:05That's a great space for relaxing.
05:06Directly behind me, you see that spiral staircase,
05:09and that takes you to a sun deck.
05:10It gives you panoramic views of the property.
05:13We're sitting on 117 feet of water frontage.
05:15This place is so peaceful.
05:17I feel like I am more in a conservation area.
05:20This is a natural inlet, so you're not going to get that heavy wind
05:23from being in front of a lake.
05:24I guess I was envisioning just all lake and water.
05:27I understand what you guys are saying.
05:29I would love to take you back inside the house and do a recap.
05:34Mateo and Julia, we've seen this beautiful Mediterranean-inspired home.
05:374,300 square feet, five bedrooms, and five bathrooms,
05:41with 117 feet of water frontage.
05:43The price of this property is $4 million.
05:46It's a bit higher than we thought,
05:48but considering the size of the property,
05:51we can understand that price.
05:52When I walked into this kitchen,
05:53I liked how the ceilings were very old school,
05:55and it reminded me of Italy.
05:57I wish there was a sink in the island
05:59that faced the views of the lake.
06:01Walking to the living room,
06:02that shaved, log look was really unique.
06:04But that fireplace reminded me
06:06a little bit of a crematorium.
06:08The en suite was very luxurious.
06:12But I would have preferred to have the walkout
06:13in the primary bedroom.
06:15That outdoor environment felt very peaceful.
06:17But I guess our expectations were
06:19we would see more of the lake
06:21as opposed to an inlet.
06:24I think I'd like to see something a little smaller
06:25with a little bit of a smaller price point.
06:27And something with a better lake view.
06:30I think this house was wonderful.
06:32We just need to see something a little bit smaller.
06:34I agree, and I wasn't really wowed by that lake view.
06:42Julie and Mateo are on the hunt
06:44for a waterfront vacation home
06:46perfect for entertaining friends and family.
06:48The first property was a Mediterranean-inspired home
06:51set on a calm inlet.
06:53Nautical Dreams is a 3,200-square-foot home
06:56with four bedrooms and five bathrooms.
06:58The open-concept main floor features a high-end kitchen
07:01with stainless steel industrial-grade appliances
07:03while the great room boasts 26-foot ceilings,
07:06a central fireplace, and a bar area.
07:09The primary suite offers lake views
07:11and a modern five-piece en suite.
07:14Outside, the property offers 50 feet of water frontage.
07:20Julie and Mateo are looking for a house to entertain.
07:22This house can offer them a little bit more
07:24water frontage to the lake.
07:25Good morning, Mateo and Julia.
07:28Good morning, Woodrow.
07:30I know you wanted to see a house by the lake.
07:32Let's go check it out.
07:39Wow.
07:40Incredible views.
07:41Welcome to the great room.
07:4326-foot vaulted ceiling.
07:45Tile, floors, gas, fireplace,
07:48hardwood, mantel with a live edge.
07:50And right here, two additional windows
07:52to give you that natural light.
07:53I love how solid this mantel is.
07:56Compared to the last house, this has much more light.
07:59I also like that you can see the water from every angle.
08:02I know you both love to cook,
08:04so I'm going to show you the kitchen next.
08:09Wow, look at this kitchen.
08:10Very spacious.
08:12Large island, eight feet by four,
08:14and it's leather granite.
08:15When I'm cooking a nice big breakfast,
08:17we can all sit around here
08:19and look at the big, beautiful views.
08:21Stainless steel, high-end appliances.
08:23Contemporary cabinetry,
08:25the induction range,
08:26and the pot filler.
08:27As an Italian myself,
08:28I do love cooking pasta,
08:30so I love the pot filler being right there.
08:32The only thing is,
08:33the other house had the gas stove,
08:35which I would rather over this one.
08:37I'm loving this kitchen,
08:38the granite countertop,
08:39all the counter space.
08:41I'm just finding that there might not be
08:43a lot of storage space.
08:44I got something else
08:45that's very special to show you.
08:48Oh, this is so cool.
08:50I love this bar.
08:51It's beautiful.
08:52You got the sink behind you
08:53with the fridge,
08:55and you got that live edge shelf,
08:57which mimics the mantle.
08:59I do love the glasses hanging.
09:01It gives you that bar feeling.
09:02Matteo, I'm actually glad
09:03that you like this area
09:04because, unfortunately,
09:06the house only has a two-car garage,
09:08and I know you're a car collector,
09:09so hopefully this kind of balances it out.
09:13I might need a few drinks now.
09:15Let's head upstairs.
09:18This is the second floor loft.
09:20Wow, look at this.
09:23Very cozy.
09:24It's great for having a cup of coffee
09:25in the morning
09:26while you're looking at the lake
09:27or a glass of wine at night
09:28before you go to bed.
09:30I really love these rails
09:32and the fact that it does feel
09:33like you're on a cruise ship
09:34and looking right into the water there.
09:36I would love to just chill out here
09:38and watch the sunset.
09:39I'm actually starting to think
09:40I like this space
09:41better than the downstairs.
09:43Great, I'm glad you like it.
09:44I'm going to show you
09:44the primary suite next.
09:47Amazing views.
09:48Wow.
09:49This is stunning.
09:50These picked windows
09:51are giving you panoramic views
09:53of the lake.
09:54There's a king-size bed
09:55and built-in speakers.
09:56I've never seen a view like this.
09:58It reminds me of a bow on a boat.
10:00I agree.
10:01Stunning view, king-size bed,
10:04and good to go.
10:05Glad you guys like the bedroom.
10:06I want to show you the ensuite.
10:07This is a five-piece ensuite.
10:09It's a little tight.
10:11Primary felt like we can breathe.
10:13Here it's just very compact.
10:15Wait until you see the outside.
10:17It's a space where you can actually breathe.
10:19Wow.
10:20This is incredible.
10:22Wow.
10:22You can see the blue water from here.
10:24You have a large deck.
10:26To go to the lake,
10:26you have these stone steps,
10:2850 feet of lake frontage.
10:30Because it is so expansive,
10:32I'm really feeling a lot of the wind gusts,
10:34which is a little bit concerning.
10:36There are things that you can do.
10:37Adding some barriers to the deck
10:38will protect you from the wind.
10:40We finished our tour.
10:42Let's recap the property.
10:45Julia Mateo,
10:46we've seen this incredible house,
10:483,200 square feet,
10:49four bedrooms,
10:50five baths,
10:51on 50 feet of water fromage.
10:52The price for this home
10:54is $2.9 million.
10:56Wow.
10:57Oh, wow.
10:57So it's actually quite a bit
10:58less than the last house.
11:00Yeah, surprisingly,
11:01for the square footage
11:01and the lot size.
11:03Walking into the great room,
11:04the views were outstanding.
11:06Walking into the kitchen,
11:07I absolutely love the size of it.
11:10The only thing I was disappointed with,
11:12I prefer a gas range.
11:13That bar was a wonderful surprise.
11:15It's an incredible place
11:16to entertain family and friends.
11:18When we walked into the primary bedroom,
11:20I thought it was a great size
11:21and another area with phenomenal views.
11:23The ensuite was lacking.
11:25It felt very cramped.
11:27Also, seeing how windy
11:28that lake could actually get
11:29is a concern for us.
11:31As much as we love this home,
11:32we'd like to see something a bit bigger.
11:34And we're looking for something
11:35with calm water.
11:36That's not a problem.
11:37I can see what I can do.
11:39Amazing.
11:45Julia and Mateo
11:46are searching for their
11:47ideal vacation home,
11:48complete with a gourmet kitchen
11:50and pristine waterfront views.
11:51The first property showcased
11:53rustic interiors
11:54and a tranquil waterfront.
11:56While the second featured
11:57nautical elements
11:58and expansive lakefront views.
12:01The Woodland Escape
12:01is a modern 4,900 square foot home
12:04with four bedrooms
12:06and five bathrooms.
12:07The open concept living
12:08and dining area
12:09offers tranquil natural views
12:11and high ceilings.
12:12The kitchen boasts
12:13top of the line
12:14stainless steel appliances
12:15and a breakfast bar.
12:17The primary suite offers
12:18woodland views
12:19and an ensuite
12:20with high end finishes.
12:22All at 112 feet
12:23of water frontage.
12:26The last house
12:28that I showed Julia
12:29and Mateo
12:29was a little small
12:30for them.
12:31This house
12:31is a lot larger
12:32with calmer waters.
12:42Good morning, you guys.
12:44Hello, Woodrow.
12:45Wow, what kind of car is that?
12:46This is a 1963
12:48first six-seater van.
12:49Well, listen,
12:50you're in luck
12:50because this house
12:51comes with a double car garage
12:53with an extension
12:54for a third car.
12:55Amazing.
12:56You guys wanted a house
12:57that was a little more spacious,
12:58so let's go and show it
12:59before the rain starts pouring.
13:01Wow.
13:03So bright.
13:04I love these tall ceilings.
13:07Welcome to the great room.
13:08We've got the large fireplace
13:09with stacked stone
13:11going all the way up
13:12to the ceiling,
13:1226 feet high,
13:14and these very large windows.
13:16I love looking outside
13:17and being able to see nature.
13:18It's beautiful.
13:19The only thing is
13:20it's hard to see the water.
13:21It's so obscured by the trees.
13:24I can totally see that,
13:25especially coming
13:25from the last house.
13:26But I know you guys
13:27love pancakes and your pizza,
13:29so I want to show you
13:30the kitchen next.
13:31Lots of counter space.
13:32I love how it's all white
13:34and black.
13:35Here you have your chef's kitchen
13:36with very high-end finishes.
13:38In the center of the island,
13:39you have this induction stovetop
13:41with a stainless steel vent.
13:42I can totally picture myself
13:44making all kinds
13:45of different pancakes,
13:46serving them to our guests
13:47and friends.
13:48There's a lot of storage
13:49throughout the island,
13:51high-end stainless steel
13:52double-door oven
13:53and beverage station
13:54with a sink
13:55and wine fridge.
13:57The last house
13:57had the beautiful bar area.
13:59This house has
14:00espresso bar area,
14:01but I think I can make this work.
14:03I would prefer the sink
14:04to be somewhere in the island,
14:06but I just don't know
14:07how that would happen.
14:08Unfortunately,
14:08sometimes you either have
14:09one or the other on the island.
14:10Overall, I'm glad
14:11that you seem to like the space.
14:13I would love to show you
14:14the primary bed next.
14:17Oh, this is a nice space.
14:19It's a good size.
14:19The furniture's very specific
14:21to the owner,
14:21but I want you to see past that.
14:23You have the large window,
14:24raised ceiling.
14:25I love the black frame windows.
14:28I would like to see
14:28a water view
14:29as opposed to just the trees.
14:31You're probably giving me
14:32a 7 out of 10
14:33on the bedroom.
14:35I think the ensuite
14:36will give you
14:37a 10 out of 10.
14:37Wow, this is really pretty.
14:40This is spectacular.
14:41Five-piece en suite,
14:43brushed gold hardware,
14:442x4 heated porcelain tile,
14:47sunken bathtub,
14:48double sink vanity
14:49with quartz countertop
14:51and large steam shower.
14:53I can picture myself
14:54after a workout
14:55going into that steam shower
14:56and relaxing.
14:58And the vanity mirror
14:59offers perfect lighting
15:00when I'm getting ready.
15:02I can't wait
15:02to show you the outside next.
15:05Wow, look at all this forest.
15:07We are on a 2-acre lot
15:09and there is a nice walkway
15:10that's going to lead us
15:11to the water.
15:12Here we are.
15:13Welcome to your waterfront.
15:14You really did find us
15:15some beautiful calm water.
15:17This is a river.
15:18You have 112 feet
15:20of waterfrontage.
15:21Julia's really liking
15:22the calm here.
15:23I would prefer a lake.
15:24This way we can just
15:24jump in our jet skis
15:25and just go ripping around
15:26and making all kinds of noise.
15:27You are connected
15:28to a larger bay.
15:29You would just have to
15:30get in your jet ski
15:31and head over there.
15:32I'm just not feeling it here.
15:33Julia, Mattel,
15:37you've seen
15:38this beautiful property.
15:39It's just under
15:395,000 square feet
15:40with four bedrooms
15:41and five bathrooms
15:42on a 2-acre lot
15:44with 112 feet
15:45of waterfrontage.
15:46The price
15:47of this exceptional home
15:48is $3.7 million.
15:52That's a pretty good price
15:53considering this is
15:54a larger home
15:56with more property.
15:57When we walked
15:58in this home
15:58I was really impressed
15:59with the height
16:00of the ceilings
16:00in the great room.
16:01My only concern
16:02is that I really
16:03couldn't see
16:04the waterfront.
16:05I thought the kitchen
16:05was bright and modern.
16:07But I'd rather
16:07a gas cooktop.
16:09The primary bedroom
16:10was great.
16:10I just wish I could
16:11see the water
16:12through the windows.
16:12That ensuite
16:13was one of the
16:14nicest ensuite
16:15I've ever seen.
16:16When we walked
16:17down to the water
16:18it was very serene.
16:19I just feel
16:20that the river
16:20is too calm
16:21and I'd be tiptoeing around.
16:23Woodrow,
16:23you've shown us
16:24three amazing properties.
16:26Yes.
16:27I just feel
16:27Mateo and I
16:28are probably not
16:29on the same page
16:29so we do have
16:30a lot of discussing
16:31to do.
16:32Woodrow has shown us
16:33three incredible homes
16:35with all different
16:36waterfronts.
16:37I guess that's
16:37our issue Mateo.
16:38We're not really
16:39on the same page
16:40with which waterfront
16:41we like the best.
16:47Real estate agent
16:48Woodrow Montero
16:49has shown Julia
16:50and Mateo
16:51three stunning
16:52waterfront properties
16:53each featuring
16:54generous living spaces,
16:55spacious high-end
16:56kitchens
16:57and unique waterfronts.
16:58It does remind me
16:59of being in Italy.
17:01It does feel like
17:02you're on a cruise ship.
17:03I can totally picture myself
17:04flipping different pancakes.
17:06But which beautiful
17:07lake home
17:07will they choose?
17:09Mateo and Julia,
17:10we've seen
17:10three fantastic properties.
17:12What are your thoughts
17:13on the first property
17:14that we saw?
17:15Rustic vibes.
17:17This Mediterranean-inspired home
17:19spans 4,300 square feet
17:21and features five bedrooms
17:22and five bathrooms.
17:24The gourmet kitchen
17:25boasts leathered
17:26granite countertops,
17:27top-of-the-line appliances
17:28and a wet bar.
17:29The living room features
17:30shaved log walls
17:31and a wood-burning fireplace.
17:33The primary suite offers
17:35waterfront views,
17:36ample closet space
17:37and a modern en-suite
17:38with a walkout.
17:39All on 117 feet
17:41of water frontage
17:42along a tranquil inlet.
17:44Rustic vibes is on the market
17:45for $4 million.
17:47When I walked into the kitchen,
17:49I loved the marble countertop.
17:51I just wish that the sink
17:52faced the water.
17:54I really liked that rustic feel
17:55in that living room.
17:56However, that fireplace
17:58was just not very inviting.
18:00The primary bedroom
18:01was a really nice size.
18:03The en-suite was very luxurious.
18:05I loved all the marble.
18:07I just was hoping
18:08for big lake views
18:10rather than a conservation area.
18:13And what did you think
18:14of the second property,
18:16Nautical Dreams?
18:18This 3,200 square foot home
18:20features four bedrooms
18:21and five bathrooms.
18:22The open concept main floor
18:24includes a great room
18:25with 26 foot ceilings
18:27and floor-to-ceiling windows,
18:29a kitchen with stainless steel appliances
18:31and a bar area
18:32with additional seating.
18:34The primary suite offers lake views
18:35and a modern five-piece en-suite.
18:38Outside, there are vast lake views
18:40on 50 feet of water frontage.
18:43Nautical Dreams is listed
18:44at $2.9 million.
18:46I loved all the tall windows
18:50and all the great lake views.
18:53I really liked that kitchen
18:54and I can picture myself
18:55cooking there.
18:56I just wish that that kitchen
18:57had a gas range.
18:59That bar area
18:59was a big surprise.
19:01I can really see myself
19:02entertaining my entire family
19:03and friends.
19:04When we went upstairs
19:05to that loft space,
19:06I could not get over
19:07the phenomenal lake views.
19:09I thought that the primary bedroom
19:11was a great size.
19:12The en-suite just seemed
19:13really too small.
19:14I just feel that because
19:15it was such a large lake,
19:17we'd always be dealing
19:18with heavy, gusty winds.
19:19And lastly,
19:20what are your thoughts
19:20on Woodland Escape?
19:23This contemporary
19:254,900-square-foot home
19:27features four bedrooms
19:28and five bathrooms.
19:29There are 26-foot ceilings
19:31in the great room
19:32with a floor-to-ceiling
19:33dry-stacked stone fireplace.
19:35The kitchen includes
19:36top-of-the-line
19:36stainless steel appliances
19:38and a breakfast bar.
19:40The primary suite offers
19:41tranquil, natural views
19:42and a beautifully updated
19:44en-suite with a soaker tub
19:45and a steam shower.
19:47The two-acre property
19:48boasts mature trees,
19:50all in 112 feet
19:51of water frontage.
19:52The Woodland Escape
19:53is priced at $3.7 million.
19:57I like the height
19:58in the great room.
19:59My only issue was
20:00that the views of the lake
20:02were hard to see
20:02through the trees.
20:03I felt that that kitchen
20:05was very bright and modern.
20:07However, I didn't like
20:08how the sink
20:09was not facing the views.
20:11I did feel that
20:12the primary bedroom
20:12was a nice size.
20:14That en-suite
20:15was the best one
20:16we've seen
20:16out of all the homes.
20:17And that steam shower,
20:18I really liked that.
20:20When we walked down
20:20to the river,
20:21I really liked the feeling
20:22that I got.
20:23It was quite peaceful.
20:25This is where we differ.
20:26I'd prefer the lake
20:27over the river.
20:28Julia, Mateo,
20:29what property
20:30are you going to eliminate?
20:31We've decided
20:32to eliminate
20:33rustic vibes.
20:35At the end of the day,
20:36it had the weakest waterfront.
20:37It was neither a lake
20:38or a river.
20:39So guys,
20:40have you chosen a property?
20:41We've chosen
20:42Woodland Escape.
20:45She can have the river
20:46and I'll always be able
20:47to get to the lake
20:48very easily.
20:49Listen, that's amazing.
20:50You got great property.
20:51Let me get the process started.
20:52Thank you so much.
20:53Perfect.
20:56We're so excited.
20:57We can't wait
20:58to entertain
20:58all our family and friends.
21:00And I get to share it with you.
21:03But promise me one thing,
21:04you'll still make those pancakes.
21:06Okay, I will.
