Treasure House is a reality competition series that uncovers hidden treasures in everyday homes. In every episode, three highly-regarded appraisers each select a family that believes it has found valuable items in their home. After choosing a family, the appraisers put each of the home’s apparent treasures up for auction. The household with the highest bids at auction takes home an additional $50,000.
