Magnolia Network’s Lakefront Bargain Hunt: Renovation heads to the Midwest this week, following a family on their quest for a lakeside fixer-upper in Illinois. Airing Friday, June 20, at 9:00 PM ET, the episode, titled “Lakefront Luxe on a Budget in Wabash Valley, Illinois,” tracks the search for a dream property that won’t break the bank.
The family sets its sights on the Wabash Valley, an area that winds through both Indiana and Illinois, hoping to find a hidden gem they can transform into a modern retreat. As is often the case with this series, the “bargain” part of the hunt is only the beginning. Once a property is chosen, the real work begins, and the dream of “lakefront luxe” quickly runs up against the realities of renovation.
The show’s appeal lies in its dual focus: the aspirational house-hunting process followed by the often-grueling work of turning a dated property into a functional family home.
