I would put a bath on both floors and cover the stairs to the bedrooms and make a hole in the kitchen wall to use it from inside the house. There’s no reason to go outside to go to bed, just cover those stairs. I’d leave the bath at street level and use it to clean up after working on the land. Then the little home would make sense and be a sweet little get away.❤️🤗🐝
Demolish the existing bathroom. Add a new full bathroom upstairs with a big walk-in shower. Add a half bath on the first floor. It’s a shame that some people can’t see the potential because this could be a fabulous country home.
@@BradsWorld No! There's no such thing as too much information, especially when you talk about the towns. I've driven myself CRAZY trying to find the right town for my price range. All information is welcome.
Hey Brads, I really liked your presentation style ! Though I in different country but wish to have one such property in future... it's quiet, peaceful indeed.
Hi, I just came across your video and have to say, pretty cool. Hard to imagine you can find a property like that south of Rome. Soo much potential and why would you want to live amongst the hustle and bustle. Keep the videos coming and ciao from southern Africa.
I believe we did 5 property videos that day… we are super busy when we are shooting. Super hot, and you want me to walk 800 meters to the Olive trees when it was in our way out to the next property!?! Yeah, like I always say… Sono Americano ma non sono una idiota! 🤠🤪
Maybe next time you're down there tour a house in Sora itself? Looks like a gorgeous town. Great to be introduced to somewhere that otherwise I'd never considered, thanks.
Yeah I am talking to Claudia about that. I stayed in an amazing BnB in town that was so reasonable and right on that street I was walking on... I like that town and could see living in it!
Yes, even just walk around the house. To see if it’s connected to another building or whatever. Maybe an aerial view with an outline of the property n house. Thanks.
This was probably a little brothel, that's why the bedrooms were accessed from outside and the bathroom was outside for bar customers too. Its a great price and the land, wow!
Ummmmm... Don't think it was a brother. The old resident was in the video waiting around outside. Bathrooms in older homes were added on. The bedrooms upstairs were the original total older living area and anything downstairs was for animals and machines. Very traditional.
What a beautiful property. Noooooo, don't get rid of the lights, they are what I would put in myself, and they go with the character of the place. Gorgeous. If I had that money to spare at the moment I would seriously be tempted...
You need permission for that. It can took months to get them. You need also permission for replacing the bathroom. I really doubt it will cost you only 5k as Claudia says, make it double. You need also permission to cover the stairs and add the cost of an architect or geometra that has to be in charge of following the renovation project
You can do a well. They aren't that expensive and the ground water table is pretty high. There might be a well already. You can write the agent if you are really interested. BRAD
É incrível como essas pessoas constroem casas sem um banheiro decente , essa escada por fora da casa não tem sentido a primeira coisa numa casa é o banheiro quartos sem ter que passar por dentro de outros .
It's an old house from simpler times. If you go to Greece, half the country has outside stairs. These were built by and for simple country folk who didn't see bathrooms as a houses main feature. Before this, alot of people had outhouses and the original owners of this house likely grew up with an outdoor loo. As you might have noticed, they didn't have a washing machine either. Alot of people used to not have one. And in italy, dryers are a pretty recent common thing. What italian homes always had was a cantina. That's what the garage is, besides farming equippment storage. A place where you process the olives, make your wine if you have vines, make your mandatory sugo (everyone grows tomatoes and cans their own) and make pizza, bake bread etc. This is what any old school Italian would require back in the day, not a fancy bath.
@@gnarbeljo8980 A casa sofreu reforma por tanto não justifica a falta de banheiro decente , o problema é mesmo o europeu acha que banheiro é sofisticação e não necessidade básica de higiene
I lived in Austin for 24 years, so I understand very well what you are saying about these towns being like neighborhoods in the US. I am very curious about living in Italy and might seek out dual citizenship since my great great grandmother and grandfather lived their lives in Palermo growing food and selling it for a living. I feel a need for some connection to my ancestral roots. Interestingly, I grow food and have a green thumb that seems to come to me naturally. I never knew until recently that my great great grandparents were farmers. My great grandmother was born in the states, but her parents never naturalized so I think I may have a legitimate path to citizenship.
Every time i see properties like this which are steals i said to myself " and just to think that many people in the US , and other expensive counties could easily solve their living situation here in italy with this insane prices! Wow!!!
@@BradsWorld How about the single folks who get half that? But does Italy really need more old people? Seems full of them. They might want to appeal to younger immigrants from other countries who will bring or have children.
Just discovered your channel, Brad (greetings from NYC from one 'Allan' to another!). Interesting little house and layout, tho a little too remote for me. I'm also looking myself more specifically in Abruzzo to buy in the next couple of years. For what the house has already I don't think it needs that much work, just cosmetic. I'd even keep the kitchen the way it is. I'd agree with the commenter who would but baths on each floor and cover the outside stairs, and I'd probably put a spiral staircase on the inside. As for Leroy Merlin, I'm sure you know it's a French company founded by two French guys, Leroy and Merlin (pronounced the French way!) Anyway I got to know the store while I was living in Poland and South Africa for two years each, and it ended up being a favorite home store! I'll be checking out your other videos now. Ciao!
Its just a few mins from town. The price isnt going to be THAT negotiable... It's only €32K! Not sure on fees, you would need to talk to Claudia@AlfanoRealEstate.com.
@@BradsWorld Plus some great views and land! That's enough land where you could add a nice yurt or small cabin if you wanted someplace to be surrounded by green I am so glad you guys are willing to cover the lower prices properties and not just villas!
Of course we talked to them. But not neighbors. They owned the property and were waiting for us. The neighbors are from Kansas City and weren’t in country at that moment. 🤷🏼♂️
Italy does not give residency for ownership. Check with Google about getting residency for foreigners... I don't know your country's status. Good luck!
I am not sure, doubt the city would object... But I would look at doing an internal spiral first, those are pretty simple and wouldn't probably even need approval and much cheaper. But just thinking outloud here...
"They" being Italy? Ummmm, that is hard to find and depends on what you mean by premium... Like a really really nice home that needs nothing and has lots of space in a good location with all services around it?!?!? No, they don't have that.
@@mr2ferrari Just a friendly heads up, addresses are almost never given on property videos like these or outside of inquiring with the local agent directly because of privacy concerns.

I would have enough room for a couple mules or horses to ride in the mountains ! Knock a couple windows in that garage to bring fresh air and ventilation to a couple horse stall . And I'd have a place to let my dogs out to go to the bathroom . I could have this place look fantastic for 50.000 $ total . .
Not out here in country like this house. But in even smallish towns you often do. You can get Starlink for €40/month and just €200 equipment cost. I have 200 Megs down and about 12 Maximum UP on that service in the country in Italy where I live.
@@BradsWorld i work from home so it is must. If this will be a holiday home, does Italy suffers from squatters or Okupas like in spain and US? Illegal settlers who occupy empty holiday homes?
Grab it. Or something like it! Even if you can only be here a little bit now, it will give you a nice project to work on. Imagine telling your friends to come and stay in your Italian home! Hey, maybe you can trick them into coming over and helping with the work!
Hello Brad ! I love the region...that view out the windows to the trees.. green garden..so peaceful...just love it. Brad I must ask...what is the current situation and concern with active Volcanoes ? Since youre South of Rome...thats my question. Love your videos. Thank you !
OK Smarty pants... The "neighbors" were just the son and father owners waiting while we filmed. The house across the street is owned by some people from Midele AMerica that jsut bought it last year as a base for European travels. Any house this cheap is going to need some renovations and additions. Have we become so spoiled that a house AFTER renovations could be had WITH land and a HUGE garage for €70.000 all fixed up nice? In the EU? Near to a cute town and close to others and 90 mins from Rome in a place that doesn't have earthquakes?!? My friends new pickups in Texas cost more than that!
@@paulb1951 It was a bit creepy, wasn't it, though? You ever wonder why all these real estate vloggers DON"T have any people prowling around when they are trying to pitch a house? Hmmm?
Why don't you cover how hard (long) it takes to get plans o.k. to do any renovations and how expensive labor cost's are . It's not a walk in the park when you have to wait a year to do some up dating to a property. 🇺🇸
It depends of the area. In Italy, if the house is in a natural protected area or a hydrogeologic risk area you can not build or extend a house. So please, do get information at the City Hall about the restrictions before buyng any house in Italy. Remember you need permission and the guide of a professional also for closing the outside stairs, replacing the bathroom, build internal stairs or any other work that is categorized not as regular maintence work but as exceptional work. The house is nice and it is a bargain, but you can lost 32+10k (costs of purchase) if you can't renovate it.
Meh…. Kind of hard to realistically add to them and they’re not that expensive. If I wasn’t gonna remove the existing ones, I would find a nice piece of furniture that would serve as a cabinet, but they didn’t look awkward and have a different style. But that’s just my taste.
I know it is not a priority to many but it would be nice to run those power lines underground to enhance the view… nice fixer… oh and the earth is a plane not a planet… peace

Thanks! I try to give on the fly estimates. People get the idea. I would love to just do everything in metric but... America can't seem to get on the wagon with the rest of the world on that.
When you have a house like this, that’s been shut up for a long time that’s quite possibly the case. Nothing but a good strong bleach solution won’t fix. And of course, making sure it doesn’t return. But that whole bathroom thing needs to be redone completely.
I subscribed and put notifications on, so that I can keep on the know with you. Does this property qualify for the 7% Flat Tax regime? Is there any financing? I can put 50% down. Can you purchase from overseas? Thank you for sharing. Chow!
No on Tax scheme. You can't get a loan on a property this cheap... Yes on purchasing from Overseas as long as Italians can purchase in your home country.
What always surprises me, is having to go outside to get to the other floor! Kitchen needs counter space. The sanded walls ... nah, painting over that. Bedrooms are huge, too big really. But also big enough to have a bathroom w/toilet, sink & shower. Skip the darned bidet. Good to have a garage. Not a lot of fixing up really.
I think a lot of the going outside to get to the other floor is because traditionally these houses were people upstairs and farm animals, equipment downstairs so an internal staircase wasn't used (imagine the smells coming up through the staircase if you had your cows and pigs downstairs as tenants!). I am just guessing.
It needs the house reworked for sure. But yeah, that’s not uncommon here. Remember that as recently as 80 years ago, most homes in Italy didn’t have indoor plumbing. Seems crazy, but that’s true. You’ll see a lot of places that have bathrooms that have been basically bolted on the outside of the house, sometimes way up off the ground.
@@BradsWorld.. good luck right back at you.. You should promote your property in Texas with one of the agents there as a holiday destination for those who travel a lot. I know my neighbourhood have 3 French family with holiday homes, as they say, they follow the sun
Wild Boar, Fox, Spinosa (think gigantic Porcupine), Badger, Deer, Rabbits, not sure about wolves, they have them a bit farther north in Umbria and Tuscany...
What a strange setup for a living space with the outside stair to the bedrooms and that bath under the stairs also from the outsude of the house. What concerns me most are those creepy neighbours, thing is you buy the house and also get these strange guys with it. Maybe they'd be willing to sell their property for another 30k? Anyway I do love the location and I can see the potential this building has to offer. I like it a lot.
The creepy neighbors were the owners that had come over and were waiting for us to get done filming... 🤣🤣🤣 The other house on other side of the street was sold to a couple from Missouri, USA!
Well the garage is a garage... I thought it was a great building to be included for just €32K! Agreed bummer on bathroom, but for the price overall, not that hard to add a nice one up stairs and still have a place with land, huge garage/storage and a house too boot for such a low price!
That house is almost “demolish and rebuild” worthy (saving the blue tiles from the big master bedroom). Having an external staircase to access both bedrooms is just yuck. The only saving grace is the walls in that back room behind the kitchen will look beautiful if that coating is removed and that bluish color is exposed all the way around. I wonder if there would be a way to build an internal staircase up from the kitchen or living room and create a hallway in some of the excess space in that huge bedroom, so you walk up internal stairs into a hallway and enter each bedroom from that hallway. You might be able to put an en suite into each bedroom.
Here's a funny... A lot of even the very expensive homes here in Tuscany where I live have an external staircase first and foremeost, then sometimes have been redone with internal. The reason is that in the olden days, the downstairs was just for animals and tools, and the families lived upstairs. Not saying that is the case here but maybe. And the bathroom might have been an add on when they started making indoor baths! Who knows.
They were the property owners who had come to open up for us. The house across the street is owned by a family from USA that are remodeling it... Not the first to comment the same. I will mention it next time in the video if people are just sitting around.
I would put a bath on both floors and cover the stairs to the bedrooms and make a hole in the kitchen wall to use it from inside the house. There’s no reason to go outside to go to bed, just cover those stairs. I’d leave the bath at street level and use it to clean up after working on the land. Then the little home would make sense and be a sweet little get away.❤️🤗🐝

How far is the closest IKEA?
Probably in Rome. But you can always use Google maps and find out!
You could do Venetian Plaster on the walls.
Engels and Volkers approves this video
EVERYBODY does!
I want!!!😊
Grab it. Or something like it! Even if you can only be here a little bit now, it will give you a nice project to work on. Imagine telling your friends to come and stay in your Italian home! Hey, maybe you can trick them into coming over and helping with the work!
Hello Brad !
I love the region...that view out the windows to the trees.. green garden..so peaceful...just love it.
Brad I must ask...what is the current situation and concern with active Volcanoes ? Since youre South of Rome...thats my question.
Love your videos. Thank you !
That basic layout is ripe for two studio apartments. For living in downstairs and rent out upstairs.
i thought the same. but maybe there is no market for that in the area.
And it comes with nosy neighbors right across the street and next to your garage! And no bathroom! Just for Euros 32K! What a deal!
OK Smarty pants... The "neighbors" were just the son and father owners waiting while we filmed. The house across the street is owned by some people from Midele AMerica that jsut bought it last year as a base for European travels.
Any house this cheap is going to need some renovations and additions. Have we become so spoiled that a house AFTER renovations could be had WITH land and a HUGE garage for €70.000 all fixed up nice? In the EU? Near to a cute town and close to others and 90 mins from Rome in a place that doesn't have earthquakes?!?
My friends new pickups in Texas cost more than that!
How dare someone be outside on their own property and look at someone 😂
@@paulb1951 It was a bit creepy, wasn't it, though? You ever wonder why all these real estate vloggers DON"T have any people prowling around when they are trying to pitch a house? Hmmm?
@@paulb1951Right, what is this world coming to when people actually come out of their house and act…dare I say it…friendly! 😬🫣😂😂😂
Why don't you cover how hard (long) it takes to get plans o.k. to do any renovations and how expensive labor cost's are . It's not a walk in the park when you have to wait a year to do some up dating to a property. 🇺🇸
He does state how much a kitchen reno would cost, didn’t you watch?
It depends of the area. In Italy, if the house is in a natural protected area or a hydrogeologic risk area you can not build or extend a house. So please, do get information at the City Hall about the restrictions before buyng any house in Italy. Remember you need permission and the guide of a professional also for closing the outside stairs, replacing the bathroom, build internal stairs or any other work that is categorized not as regular maintence work but as exceptional work. The house is nice and it is a bargain, but you can lost 32+10k (costs of purchase) if you can't renovate it.
Hi is this place still available thanks I’m new
Probably yes. You can contact the agent in the video Claudia directly to ask at Claudia@AlfanoRealEstate.com
Beautiful modest house, we need the bathroom with showers and presto! Claudia is a beautiful gal.
All valid points! BRAD
Thank you...
Add to existing cabinets. Don't change.
Meh…. Kind of hard to realistically add to them and they’re not that expensive. If I wasn’t gonna remove the existing ones, I would find a nice piece of furniture that would serve as a cabinet, but they didn’t look awkward and have a different style. But that’s just my taste.
I know it is not a priority to many but it would be nice to run those power lines underground to enhance the view… nice fixer… oh and the earth is a plane not a planet… peace
@@FLATSWISS it’s a planet my friend.❤️🤗🐝
@@deborahdanhauer8525 do you believe man successfully walked on the moon 6 times between 69-72? If not then you have some hope in finding the truth… if you do, then remain comfortably numb… peace on the plane brothers and sisters
@@FLATSWISS I don’t imagine you find many converts by insulting people. Perhaps I’m numb, perhaps your delusional. I doubt either of us have any proof the other would accept as true, which makes conversation pointless. Have a nice day.❤️🐝🤗
@@deborahdanhauer8525 you managed to skirt the moon landing question… it really is a good litmus test… I wouldn’t call that insulting… no tests or experiments have ever proven that earth has any curvature or movement other than earthquakes… with all of the problems our world has, this truth is paramount as it can finally expunge the deceivers of the past 500 years and gives peace a chance…
@@deborahdanhauer8525 no reply to the moon landings? I am not trying to convert anyone, everyone needs to do their own research and discover what they know to be the truth…
Believing is the enemy of knowing… there are numerous proofs of an enclosed stationary plane earth… my apology for the comfortably numb comment although I did wish you peace sister
Still available?
Gotta check their website: AlfanoRealEstate.com
Where's the bathroom?
Bathroom was outside under stairs. I had showed it, and we were talking about the need to put an internal bathroom either up or down or both.
Love
Looks like the neighbors are using the rest room as a common outhouse.
Yeah. Looks just like that. 🙄
Neighbors are from Missouri USA. Guys in video hanging out were owners waiting while we filmed.
160m2 is 1700sqf
Thanks! I try to give on the fly estimates. People get the idea. I would love to just do everything in metric but... America can't seem to get on the wagon with the rest of the world on that.
Still for sale?
Believe so. Email the agent. Claudia@AlfanoRealEstate.com
They dont answer phone call and send msgs for all 3 different phone
Well that was probably the strangest house you’ve ever shown. Redeeming qualities price, view, and that garage.
Needs some work for sure. But another 40K and a nice place.
Floor and roof are great, but the wall looks like pure mold. Looking at the bathroom downstairs wall..
When you have a house like this, that’s been shut up for a long time that’s quite possibly the case. Nothing but a good strong bleach solution won’t fix. And of course, making sure it doesn’t return. But that whole bathroom thing needs to be redone completely.
@@BradsWorld I really wonder if the wall is full of mold, the whole wall might be soaked through with water.
I need some contact info for this property. Thanks.
Claudia@AlfanoRealEstate.com. I have contact info in the videos always!!
I subscribed and put notifications on, so that I can keep on the know with you. Does this property qualify for the 7% Flat Tax regime? Is there any financing? I can put 50% down. Can you purchase from overseas? Thank you for sharing. Chow!
No on Tax scheme. You can't get a loan on a property this cheap...
Yes on purchasing from Overseas as long as Italians can purchase in your home country.
What always surprises me, is having to go outside to get to the other floor!
Kitchen needs counter space.
The sanded walls ... nah, painting over that.
Bedrooms are huge, too big really. But also big enough to have a bathroom w/toilet, sink & shower. Skip the darned bidet.
Good to have a garage.
Not a lot of fixing up really.
I think a lot of the going outside to get to the other floor is because traditionally these houses were people upstairs and farm animals, equipment downstairs so an internal staircase wasn't used (imagine the smells coming up through the staircase if you had your cows and pigs downstairs as tenants!). I am just guessing.
bathroom shared wt the neighbors.....
you have to exit the house to use the bathroom?! I'm out....
It needs the house reworked for sure. But yeah, that’s not uncommon here. Remember that as recently as 80 years ago, most homes in Italy didn’t have indoor plumbing. Seems crazy, but that’s true. You’ll see a lot of places that have bathrooms that have been basically bolted on the outside of the house, sometimes way up off the ground.
Card playing table!
Hi there, I realy like Claudia !
We all do!
Wish my property in Deneysville South Africa would sell.. I would put a cash offer in on this and retire in Italy
Good luck! Wish my property in Texas would sell so we could buy our family home here…!
@@BradsWorld.. good luck right back at you..
You should promote your property in Texas with one of the agents there as a holiday destination for those who travel a lot.
I know my neighbourhood have 3 French family with holiday homes, as they say, they follow the sun
I see a lot of work
Oh yeah!! This would keep you busy for a while. But good bones.
So what's the driving situation as a foreigner? I heard you can't buy cars...
What kind of wild life there? Wolves, bears, cougars?
Wild Boar, Fox, Spinosa (think gigantic Porcupine), Badger, Deer, Rabbits, not sure about wolves, they have them a bit farther north in Umbria and Tuscany...
What a strange setup for a living space with the outside stair to the bedrooms and that bath under the stairs also from the outsude of the house. What concerns me most are those creepy neighbours, thing is you buy the house and also get these strange guys with it. Maybe they'd be willing to sell their property for another 30k? Anyway I do love the location and I can see the potential this building has to offer. I like it a lot.
The creepy neighbors were the owners that had come over and were waiting for us to get done filming... 🤣🤣🤣
The other house on other side of the street was sold to a couple from Missouri, USA!
@@BradsWorld lol mr. olavschneider might be the creepy one still living in moms basement..
New Orleans was horrible decadent…nothing like a small town in Italy…
No bathroom the garage across the street weird
Well the garage is a garage... I thought it was a great building to be included for just €32K! Agreed bummer on bathroom, but for the price overall, not that hard to add a nice one up stairs and still have a place with land, huge garage/storage and a house too boot for such a low price!
That house is almost “demolish and rebuild” worthy (saving the blue tiles from the big master bedroom). Having an external staircase to access both bedrooms is just yuck. The only saving grace is the walls in that back room behind the kitchen will look beautiful if that coating is removed and that bluish color is exposed all the way around. I wonder if there would be a way to build an internal staircase up from the kitchen or living room and create a hallway in some of the excess space in that huge bedroom, so you walk up internal stairs into a hallway and enter each bedroom from that hallway. You might be able to put an en suite into each bedroom.
Here's a funny... A lot of even the very expensive homes here in Tuscany where I live have an external staircase first and foremeost, then sometimes have been redone with internal. The reason is that in the olden days, the downstairs was just for animals and tools, and the families lived upstairs. Not saying that is the case here but maybe. And the bathroom might have been an add on when they started making indoor baths! Who knows.
@9:13 looks like you have some people watching you guys ... kinda creepy
They were the property owners who had come to open up for us. The house across the street is owned by a family from USA that are remodeling it... Not the first to comment the same. I will mention it next time in the video if people are just sitting around.
@@BradsWorld no problem . So the house you showed today is owned by US people? Orthe house they were sitting in ftont of was their house ?
Only one horrible bathroom? Where it is possible to make bathrooms in the two floors?!?
The rooms upstairs are certainly large enough to have a bathroom carved out of them.
