    Beautiful Floors!
    I love that every room has a different tile design. Something new to see in every room. So much better than the same tiles throughout a house. Those are nice!
    The marble stairs are gorgeous, but be extremely careful wearing just socks going down them and don't get them wet or you will have a marble slip and slide.
    As long as you can navigate all those stairs for years to come, go for it! I don't know how old you are, but stairs will be a hurdle in old age...just talking from experience.
    That's probably the best house you've posted so far.
    It's really lovely.

    Hey Mike! I do like this place in Piedmont except for all the stairs to get to the view. I didn't hear what the price was but motivated sellers sounds good. I'm sure there are lots of places there which meet your specific needs and wants. I'm curious about the climate there and if you would need air conditioning. Piedmont region would probably feel a lot like Colorado I bet. And it is closer to other parts of Europe so that's a big plus. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. And continue your journey. We are watching!

    • @aroundtheworldwithmike
      @aroundtheworldwithmike  Před měsícem +3

      Thanks @randygulleryjr2180. I think the climate will be similar to Colorado. I asked some locals and they said it can get up to 35 C/ 95 F. But it if cools down in the evenings, I could deal with that. And I'm guessing these old houses have thick walls that could help it stay cool. And there is excellent air floor with all of the windows.
      Being closer to Central Europe is one of the big reasons I decided on Piedmont. Of course there's the landscape, wine, food, etc.
      The asking price is €85,000, recently reduced from €95,000. The realtor mentioned a couple times that the current price is negotiable. So clearly the sellers are motivated. I'm waiting to hear back from the realtor to see what they are willing to do. Check in next week for an update.

    I saw your latest video where you mention this property so went back to take a look. Lovely place assuming the roof is good it could be a really good deal for 65,000. To me the main draw back would be the cost of heating this large property but it is very very nice.

    • @aroundtheworldwithmike
      @aroundtheworldwithmike  Před měsícem

      I have thought about that too. There would be an option to put in two different heating units, and just use the one in the unit that's being used. Still, I think it would be expensive.

      That's a great point. This town had a good feel to it. The town square about 30 yards/meters away was active, had a big restaurant and things going on. I for got the mention to price, but just updated the cover, title and description. It was reduced from €95,000 to €85,000 and the realtor said that price is negotiable. I'm going to check.

      There are a lot of additional costs to consider. It's not just the purchase price. Almost as important is the Cadastral Value which affects the taxes when purchasing and the annual property taxes. On this place the value is pretty high.

      Really, you think it needs a lot of work? I think there is hardly anything that needs to be done. A few cracks need to be repaired and then some paint. The skylight, stairs to the rooftop and maybe some walls around the stairs, but that's about all I see. The issue for me is building out another kitchen, getting furniture for all the rooms, etc. That could be a lot. We'll see. I'm still thinking about it.

    • @logiman

      @@aroundtheworldwithmike Good point. I think we are approaching this from different perspectives. I consider the prospect of a major kitchen renovation in a foreign country to be a lot of work. It just scares me. I'm not quite handy enough to do it myself. You seem to be much more comfortable with such an undertaking. I couldn't really tell much about the roof, but it looked a bit suspect when you showed the attic. You might consider hiring someone to examine it before you buy. Other than those two issues, I think it's great.
      When you showed ladder to the terrace, my first thought was 'a simple stairway would make that so much better'. As you said, the view is spectacular. This place really does have a lot going for it if you're not afraid of the renovations.

    I think it's a great property, Mike. It certainly could be occupied right now, and what work needs to be done could happen gradually over time. See if you can find a geromita (sp.?) to look it over and give their opinion. I've watched MANY videos on property in Italy. The price often depends on the size and desirability of the town. Some towns, close to ski areas or the ocean can fetch higher prices. Perhaps there's some room for negotiation on price. Good luck.
