That house is down the street from Louis’ house that I’m renting. I have admired that beautiful door. The house is perfectly located for views and walks. There’s a dairy down in that valley. When there aren’t any cars going by it is only birdsong
John, I’m going to guess the water is for spirits that visit you. My Mexican grandmother used to keep glasses of water out on her dresser, in the hallways, etc. She said it was for the spirits because they get thirsty. John, on an aside, could you possibly begin your filming showing a larger map of Italy and then zooming in on where the town is located? I appreciate the information about homes being close to the beach, or they have public transportation, etc. But I could use more geographical information especially in relation to how close these little towns/villages are to major cities in Italy. Just a suggestion. 😊
Oh wow! the view alone was worth the price of admission. I want to do a lot of additional work but the house is still very workable. I have an architect son. Price is okay even considering the additional work I'd think was necessary. that little windowless room would make a great walk in closet. and somehow that could be two bedrooms up on the second floor. but the views and a great town.
Another amazing property...or should I say...'stunning'. I always watch these videos with an eye to the bathrooms (you know us Americans) but as long as there's at least a second toilet, there's hope. Thanks for the video. Beautiful.
The windowless bedroom it seems has thin walls. These prolly can be just torn down and u'll get a nice larger size bedroom. Beatiful property for this money!
BTW: after living in Europe for 6 years as a child, my best guess for the water on the porch is to keep it cold. When we moved to Germany in 1960, and even to today, most Europeans don't keep a large fridge. The first German family I met kept their milk, butter, and other items that needed to be kept cold out on the windowsill of the kitchen. (they did have a small fridge, but it was like what you would find in the typical US college student's dorm. By comparison, refrigerators in US homes today are like meat lockers. Anyway, I'm thinking the water is out on the stoop so it can stay cool.
Stunning count: 7 🎉🎉🎉 I might not get around to posting on each video, but I guarantee you I’m watching every single one, and often times rewatching them so I can try to convince my wife that we should buy one of these amazing homes.
Not enough natural light for my taste. It is functional for move-in ready but it is very dated.In the future could you show a map of Italy so that we can see exactly where the home is located. Some of us aren't as familiar with all the different towns and villages period thank you
Great property 👌. Remove plaster off kitchen ceiling expose that brick. Change kitchen tiles 😊 No 3rd bedroom in hallway area on 2nd floor. No one wants to walk through a bedroom to get to a 2nd bedroom. That 1st floor bedroom is cool. Add some cool double doors .👍 😁❤
If I were to get this place, I would decommission the half bath close to the entry and make it into a closet. Redo the kitchen, making it an L shaped kitchen along the fireplace side of the kitchen and along the storage room wall, that way the dining table could just be in the kitchen. Make the storage space at the back of the kitchen a full bath. Have the lounge in the current dining room and the lounge space in the back could be a bedroom or study with a pull out sofa. Upstairs I like the idea to make a hallway going to the bedroom at the back right. Then you could create two bathrooms (one for each room) in the windowless room. With the current second level bath, you could knock down the wall between the bath and the newly created bedroom space (currently the landing/study) and incorporate it so that the bedroom has a window (currently in the bathroom).
In the US we have something called light tubes that are cheaper than skylight and installation is so simple...just a small opening with flashing and a few screws. And it will light up the entire room because the tubes are highly reflective.
The area and home is so nice as you said ready to go. Windows mean a lot if already done. One thing not done in our home and we probably wont spend the money now to upgrade at this older age. Id maybe add skylights where possible. I look at all these homes as creative use possibilities. In small homes and trailers you have to double use areas. Id also be tucking in a small side chair, table, usb ports close to every window. Like on that landing up from the kitchen right at the balcony, and up stairs in the area that seems under used. Could have a day bed. Small table and chairs to play games, chessboard etc. Not everyone even on vacation stays in same room as others.
I've bin interrupted 3 times, my god ... but , what i have seen , was very need, clean, ánd white 😅 insite but absoluut a very good size propperty !! For me... i would have to reveil a lot off stone in time too get that authentic feeling but that's just a feeling . I do see the potential, absolute!! Another fine one mr. David B. Good job. Thank you .
These Floridians love your ideas of moving walls because we appreciate flat/one level living which seems to be difficult to find in this region (we aren’t getting younger so we look for homes that will suit our needs for holidays and also others wanting to rent it when we aren’t there) so we do appreciate your comments! And these views are spectacularly stunning!!! 😍
I dont know why more homes not built with 6" rise steps the standard for arthritic people. You do see it in federal buildings here and wheel chair ramps from sidewalk around to doors in post offices. I started realizing all this walking with strollers when my kids little. It takes more room to put in 6" height stairs but totally can build in storage, half baths etc as you go around. I made hubby and contracters do a wheel chair ramp all the way around from front driveway...just extension of those paths and patio we were making....around a cottage next to main house to come up to the back patios as they were 3 steps up as was coming in from garage, front door and weed area where we put patio. A bear to move in. Its great when my hipp or knees are out. Not in a wheel chair yet!
What a great property ! I would create a big livingroom at the topfloor, by removing all the innerwalls (exept the bathroomwall) . Than you will have a 35 m2 living with the balcony and stunning views ....
Another great property! The kitchen and both bathrooms could use some updating. I'd leave the layout upstairs as is. The windowless bedroom could be a guest room (don't want them too comfy!). The open area upstairs would be a great den/office with a sleeper sofa.
The myth of water bottles is prevalent in our Latino communities, here in Arizona. I don’t know if it actually works or why it would, but it’s to keep cats from peeing there. If I thought it worked, I would have water bottles everywhere, for my 22 rescues 😂 I’ll tell you what I’m waiting for, to buy. For my acreage in Scottsdale to sell.
I can see why properties in Raiano go quickly! What a nice area. This townhouse is surprisingly spacious at an excellent price. Move in ready. Garage/storage area always comes in handy, too. Love the balconies with those incredible views.....STUNNING views!? Take my breath away. I could hang out on that top balcony all day long. Lots of potential for the upstairs or leave as is. This property will move quickly, I bet. Great find! Best Wishes! 🙋♀💜
Question- Chuck and I are always looks for WHERE the laundry will be done (wash/dry/line dry) because we all have to have clean laundry. So, on this property where do they hang the laundry? In the US we typically have the laundry which has washer and dryer together, so this is something that I look for while we are looking for a home - HOW will I do the laundry without having to go up and down flights and flights of stairs.
I notice often you say people can add baths or take down walls, etc. But isn't it difficult/long to get permits to do anything in Italy? So I am thinking the remodeling thing is not so convenient.
ok, nice water bottle hack. We had a male neighbor cat , peeing on the front doorstep, everyday, because, we had a male cat, and they are territorial, over, who own's the front balcony. The smell is the worst pnuemonia kinda smell, seriously, worse than poop. Leaving the house , coming home, puddles of rotten liquified pnuemonia. They males won't stop, it can be be beyond frustrating and kinda disgusting. You can also spread peppermint....
Love the tiles on floor one bedroom! Question about the boiler on the second floor... Can they be covered or hidden or would that cause problems with their function??
Often, the owners themselves place bottles in front of the doors of their homes with the aim of discouraging dogs and cats from doing their business in that place. It is believed that dogs, following a natural instinct, avoid urinating near water sources to preserve their purity. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that cats are disturbed by the light reflected from the bottles. However, it should be noted that this belief lacks a valid scientific basis. It is interesting to mention that even an American television program has refuted the effectiveness of this practice through experiments conducted.

I'm bummed that Louis' house isn't my house and probably your's too! 🙂I I need to follow Dave's advice and "not miss" one of these soon!
That's do cool!

Walk in closet is my idea also 😊
It is said bottles of water bother cats so they won't pee on your stuff. Usually we put it in the garden or at corners.
Another amazing property...or should I say...'stunning'. I always watch these videos with an eye to the bathrooms (you know us Americans) but as long as there's at least a second toilet, there's hope. Thanks for the video. Beautiful.
Keep the motorcycle angle in mind and keep presenting garages becouse it is important and some what decisive factor. Thank you Dave
The windowless bedroom it seems has thin walls. These prolly can be just torn down and u'll get a nice larger size bedroom. Beatiful property for this money!
That view, is simply stunning 😍
Very nice, those snow-covered mountains were stunning !!!!!¡

😂😂 Today we love to buy American fridge. Keeping your stuff outside only works in winter...
Stunning count: 7 🎉🎉🎉
I might not get around to posting on each video, but I guarantee you I’m watching every single one, and often times rewatching them so I can try to convince my wife that we should buy one of these amazing homes.
I live in the US and I do the same thing...I leave bottles outside to stay cool!
By the way I really enjoy your tours. You show a wide range of properties and price ranges. It seems that there's something for everybody
This is a great one! And hearing the public transport angle makes my ears perk up! Raiano always looks so cute.
Too much expensive according wit the area and the region.
I asked the question about the bottles in Italy and apparently cats see their own reflection and walk away.
Not enough natural light for my taste. It is functional for move-in ready but it is very dated.In the future could you show a map of Italy so that we can see exactly where the home is located. Some of us aren't as familiar with all the different towns and villages period thank you
Love the walk to the property. THOSE VIEWS😍 Thanks, David!! When are you going to share a little guitar riff with us?

Agree, also adding that bedroom would mean everyone would have to go through it to use the bathroom.
I'd add a washer/dryer in that pantry area by the frig.
Stunning!
Beautiful views, plenty of space in a fabulous town. Another winner.
Great property
What a beautiful property, I could do tons with that one!! This won’t last long.

I like the little heating/cooking stove.
The tiles in the kitchen are very nice

Attenzione, Holiday/rental American buyers are not wanted in Italia. Bad behaviour, destroying aesthetics, and making property we do not desire.
What a great property ! I would create a big livingroom at the topfloor, by removing all the innerwalls (exept the bathroomwall) . Than you will have a 35 m2 living with the balcony and stunning views ....
Love it

we had a male cat peeing on door. Hubby put I think vinegar or alchohol. Whatever it was the cat stopped. But I remember it worked.
Nice snow cap mountains but I do not like cold. I am spoiled I live in southern California
Very nice
Tuned in, sitting in my camper with a nice cappuccino. Zennnn
I'm 70 so I would keep that bedroom downstairs!
The bottles are cat repellent? to keep them fron urinating on the stoop
In Australia bottles of water are to stop dogs shitting on your lawn.
Great property Dave!! Stunning location, I’d be tempted to make it a 2 bed/ 2bath for better livability.

Transom-window over the door!
The water on the doorsteps , uhhh i hope not for taking a shhower 😂... sorry that was stupid.
I like flat one level living. I have seen some in other vifeos

Washing machine in the bathroom and clothes go out on the balconies using the lines made especially for balconies
Or buy a washing machine that includes dringend function
@@SabineSabinePMy thoughts exactly! Those are always great solution...
I notice often you say people can add baths or take down walls, etc. But isn't it difficult/long to get permits to do anything in Italy? So I am thinking the remodeling thing is not so convenient.
Not difficult at all.
Great property to walk my Labradors!💖💫🐾🐾Definitely interested!
Can someone yell me a little about property taxes? Are they yearly? For this town would they be expensive?
I would like to know that too...

Yes, usually people build a cupboard around it
❤
Bedrooms without windows are illegal where I live. I’m not used to seeing bedrooms without windows.
Illegal? Where do you live?
Water bottles for people walking their dogs to cleanup after them….

😮 wow realy !!? Love this answer.
To keep cars from urinating on the property
Is the church still in use?
very good for the price. how far to a train or airport?
WILL you stop saying: "WHAT A GREAT SPACE!" OMFG
And, "STUNNING!"
Water.....for our pets? Thirsty ppl...oops, that yr beer 😂
No window in the kitchen? Or was it a window behind the sink with à blind that matches the tiles?
It seems there is no window in the kitchen. There is some light coming through the balcony window on the stairs...
The kitchen is horrible,and the bathroom as well.Views are fantastic,
Beautiful home! Now I know why I missed Tuesday's video I was looking forward to. I must have bumped an unsubscribe button
nice property but outside buildings let it down so a no from me who wants views like this
What is wrong with that view?
