I LOST IT when I saw this Italian kitchen (ancient home tour)
What can be done to get rid of a spiral staircase? It was so cute but I also hate spiral staircases!They may as well have a fire statiion pole. Why not exterior staircases?
I hope you're coping well Annette. I only know of you through watching your videos but I feel sad when I think of you. May Christmas be filled with the happy memories of your life with Frank and may that give you strength. ❤
Unreal.
excellent place for an artist, writer, painter etc. I think it is lovely. 4 apartments is a bit much for me but 2 would be great to host friends and family. Idyllic.
The asking price, quoted at 3:55, of "duecentonovantamila" translates as €290,000 (and not €295,000) euros …
The conversion is ever changing depending on the day. So the Euro price fluctuates. Good point, I always like to check, of course buying when the euro is weaker.
I am sure she voted for Kamala Harris.
Just a great endeavor. Lots to play with, imaginative, colorful corners, subdued as well. Very much enjoyed this video. I have watched the other videos of properties you show and was hesitant with this one due to the length. I must admit I stayed for the whole thing. Congrats on this project. I am waiting for s few things to fall into place but will follow you in the meantime to see what there is out there.
I bet that place is haunted like shit no thanks
Not worth more 50K.
I really like the dungeon...er ...I mean cellar.🤫
Why would she say cute for everything. Actually it looks quite classy. It's better to not dissuade.
Great presentation. I saw this house before on some platforms but for the first time it looks good. Never before was the beautiful church next to the house mentioned.
Gorgeous
Great showing ... who chose the music?
Annette when you are saying stacco here and stacco there ..pointing to the walls ..are you meaning stucco?..plaster? you make me laugh😂..I hope you and your family are doing well..un abbraccio
These videos are so much fun to watch! I love a project ❤
Thanks for sharing Annette. It's an interesting project but I fully agree with you that it would be better if it were bought jointly. Location is beautiful (and in Tuscany) but further building costs may be higher than one hopes.
no way that would be finished in 6 months in Italy, probably a year at least
Beautiful church in such a small borgo!! What a view from that house which could be something really special.
Ask and you shall receive! A 3+hour church tour! hahaha Very patient of you! It is probably the most she has got to explain in eons, to a visitor to the location. Definitely beautiful for sure. Looks like a fab town in general. I'm always intrigued how so many see so much potential, which I have a tough time doing. Well done! Great vid!
I love this place. With the bottom area this may be too big. Glad to see you are back. Hope you are ok.
Wow! That church is stunning! It never fails to surprise me when you go inside those little village churches and they are just so ornate and fabulous!! I can only imagine how much it costs them to keep up with all of that! The property is awesome! The upstairs bedroom is so big! So grand! It will be amazing to see finished. Maybe if one of your viewers buys it you can do a followup down the road and show the before and after! Cheers!
I love love this!
So happy to see you back, Annette. Thinking of you and sending up continued prayers for you. The property is beautiful. So much potential. The village is just a little too small for me. (I think I need more going on.) But it will be perfect for someone.😊
I think I might renovate the guest cottage first put bathroom in. Live there part time while they are working on the house. Just need a make shift kitchen. If it were to take longer than 6 months might be nice.
The rumor is the lecture is still ongoing 😂
What a great project. I love the space and potential. In your notes you had a spoiler alert. Is this one sold?
That property has so much potential. The church is amazing too!
Looks quite remote and very quiet, some may be looking for that but for me I would need to be close to a larger city within 40 minutes drive. I think also unfortunately not a good outlook (View) and privacy would be a concern. Also only 2/3 bedrooms the underneath a low ceiling.... one outside. Of course price could reflect all this and it has potential to be a fabulous space with drive on access/parking.
Nice place, love the wood and stone! Curious how much it would cost to finish it out?
Same here. A kitchen in the Netherlands (which is more expensive than Italy) is between say 7-25k and a bathroom you can have for say 5-25 (of course lots of variation possible bc of quality differences, material differences, discount etc you can google the prices yourself too ;)). It also depends on choices like: Do you want one or two bathrooms, double glazing, would you paint the walls yourself or have it done for you etc. I "guesstimate" 70-150k depending on choices of quality and doing some own work or not. And maybe 30k more if the second property needs a new roof (it seemed so from above). I would be curious to hear what Annette thinks how much it would cost to finish off the house.
Looks to be ~550-600m alta - so good stage to add underfloor heating.
You look great Annette, I’m so glad you’re doing well!
So interesting and love the height. Hope your friend finds it right to buy! Very nice, thank you! I am curious, when you say add a window here, or 2 or take a wall down here, etc... do you have to get special approval for this construction/deconstruction due the homes of such historical value? Thinking of you as always...
Which town? What s in it? Really interesting project indeed.
Ciao Annette. Ah yes, a very enthusiastic and deeply detailed church tour...heard you say 3 hours, and I did not take that as an exaggeration, correct?! The house (and the adjoining house) seems like a well priced project that is 60% done already. Or do you say 75%? Thank you as always
Hi Ryan, she wrote above (just scroll to the top) 75% done.
@@mradventurer8104 Eagle eye you have...thank you for finding that!
frederico is hot!
Just wondering how far to nearest amenities, like a restaurant or grocery store?
Is there parking?
My Italian heart stopped when I saw that there was NO bidet in the bathroom. Sacrilege and sadness. Also the floors... it just screams great grandmother vibes, wood would have been better.
I'd love to see a progress update in about a year. It's obvious it'll fab.
It was a convent dating back to the 17th century, so there's like 300 years of babies buried under the house.
The old chairs LOOK SO MUCH BETTER!!! what were they thinking?
A garage, but doesn't Italy have come prohibitions against foreigners getting a driver's license or something?
Beautiful town ❤
This convent would make a beautiful bed-and-breakfast or Airbnb with a little work I like the idea of the pool room and pool
Hi Annette I grew up "upstairs" literally... Go look at DEBICÒ ... It is that very secluded place up the hill but with exceptional views.... about 500mts from the bifurcation of SS 63 road to Fivizzano ...
I love all of the stone
Nice place!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Actually Watching you in this video. Does not make me want to see another video of yours again. Damn. All you did was bitch. The house looked cute. But the way you cut the video showing yourself bitching over and over again. You didn't see the home and the whole takeaway from this is you bitch a lot.
Hardly any garden and probably extremely humid during the winter month! No, thank you!
