Brother Vs. Brother, San Francisco: Outdoor Spaces & The Grand Finale

By: David Haynes
Show: Brother Vs. Brother

David loves the outdoors and is an avid collector of books, vintage vinyl and Southern folk art. He currently resides in a 19th-century Victorian home which he and his wife, Fawn, are gradually and continually renovating, thereby − though not entirely by design − adopting HGTV's lifestyle credo: "Live the brand."

Jonathan and Drew's competition to flip two San Francisco area houses enters the final round as the Brothers tackle their outdoor spaces, elevating each home's curb appeal and creating lavish backyard retreats. Then their flipping expertise is put to the ultimate test when the houses go on the market. Who will win the overall competition?

Hosts Jonathan and Drew Scott are in a heated competition with each other as the two remodel their respective homes and leave it up to guest judges to decided who spent their money most wisely, as seen on Brother vs Brother.

There Can Only Be One Winner

The Winner

...and the celebration continues at the Team Jonathan house. After a total investment of $986,000, Jonathan's house sold for a cool $1,000,000 yielding a modest — but still adequate for the win — profit of $14,000. For Drew, after an investment of $944,000, his house sold for $950,000, for a final profit of $6,000. The proceeds from both houses go to the charitable organization Rebuilding Together and, as such, will be channeled back into further improving the local community.

Victory Is Sweet

Jonathan collects himself for a serious winner's portrait in front of the living wall, one of the standout custom features in his renovation. "This house embodies everything that I was trying to achieve with sustainability," says Jonathan, "from cork flooring to the bark feature, the living wall, solar energy, the rain gardens outside, bringing down the energy consumption with things like a tankless hot-water system and a fully efficient furnace. All of these things help lower the footprint and you use less energy."
