🏡 Early 1900s Large Italian Home Tour! 🏡 Near Bagni di Lucca and only €188.000! 4,000 sq ft total!

[@finniganyork9608]

I like all the tile floors. This is a great house!

[@godscountryhomestead1177]

Wow….! That’s Italian….. love the home and the suburbs of Lucca.

[@BradsWorld]

Nice to be away from the crazy that is Lucca central. Very pretty and very close to all.

[@christineshields1714]

Talk about value for the money! While I'd certainly update the bathrooms, try to add a full bath to the top floor there is very little that has to be done. I wouldn't change out the flooring. They add a certain quirky charm. A professional cleaning/polishing and they'd be gorgeous.

[@delladearest2511]

This is a fine home🥰❣️ not much needs to be done. The different tile floors can be viewed as unique flooring for that room.

[@kathifailor4660]

That's a really nice house 😃 and a lot of the rooms downstairs and a couple of those rooms upstairs. Have gorgeous Italian tile. I don't know why you would want to get rid of the Italian gorgeous tile. Of course there are properties with tiles that aren't nice at all!! but a lot of these rooms are really nice. All you have to do is clean and polish them And they' will be great Having nice old Italian tiles in your home. Just gives you more of that Good feeling of Italy that I wouldn't want to erase but that's me 🥰 thank you guys great video 👍

[@ronb4008]

I personally love that kind of flooring. I wonder if you could pay to have that powerline run underground through the property I doubt it would cost much it doesn't look like a major transmission line.

[@debsmith7120]

Love the old floor tiles! Definitely would keep them! Super property - thank you for showing us.

[@Kim-J312]

Wow Brad this one is great 👍, love the countryside ❤. What a great price , you found a gem 💎. I love the original floors . I like more of a rustic style of house , but this one is great 👍

[@Meredith-J]

Wow - what a beautiful house, Brad! It’s a little too far out for me (I prefer to be in town), but it will make a wonderful home for someone! I just love it! I would absolutely use the small room upstairs to put in a bathroom or two (could be one en suite and another that opens to the hallway - looks big enough to do that). And definitely take out that ugly glass and metal divider wall in front of the stairs in the entryway. There’s so so much space downstairs - you could do something really special down there. Great find! I’m back in Italy again next month … if we’re in your neck of the woods, I’ll be sure to say hi! Hi to Oly and the pups!

[@mtngrl5859]

Was in Lucca many years ago, lovely town.

[@michellespezialetti3122]

It's a great property❤

[@wayneevans5050]

oh I'm so glad you thought that "thing" in the entry way had to go. That was so ugly. I'm not sure that could survive the first day. Okay, where do I send the check? That house is everything I'm dreaming of. It appeared in a condition where you would only be doing cosmetic work, more or less. Hopefully the plumbing and electrical would be usable as is, without a total retro fit. I'd budget a redo of the baths and kitchen. myself, and maybe the floors too. That place is so doable. You could get in a cleaning crew and a yard crew and move right in. It's architecturally a lovely house. I love it! It even has a garage and that expansive cantina. In order to furnish a place that big I'd want to set up my wood shop to restore antiques and do some sculpture. Is Francesca's place the half of that existing larger old palas? I don't know what camera you got, but everybody showing these houses should have one. seriously. Sorry, I'm rambling.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks for all the great comments. Yes Francesca's is the big palace I featured last fall. first thing I always do with new properties is total cleanup especially of outside so when you arrive on site you feel like you have already done so much work. I even did that on our €700/mo farmhouse we rent in Tuscany... Trimmed 120 olive trees (first 40 by hand!) the day we arrived. Well, it took over 2 weeks of constant effort. Thanks for watching. And BTW the camera is amazing. That cantina was basically pitch BLACK and it looks like a sunny day with the low light feature. BRAD

[@wayneevans5050]

@@BradsWorld yes the clean up is essentual for moral alone. I'm very sensitive to that.

Man I was all excited about the Costco. 😂.

Right! 😂😂

[@BradsWorld]

Great!

[@astrojak5383]

Haha, I am always amazed that many, if not all, the places i have on my list you eventually cover... we must be of like mind and your channel my go to. On a side note, i still believe you should be putting a list of qualified contractors and architects as most, if not all, of these homes need some work.

[@BradsWorld]

All my agents that I work with have excellent local resources that they will share with buyers. Even help with the planning in some cases. Glad you like my choices! Thanks for watching.

[@jeanninewelfelt8255]

the original tile floors are beautiful

[@salvatoreemma]

Lots of potential in this property, for sure. Brad I have a side question to ask in regard to this and other properties you facilitate fantastically. Can you please mention whether the property has city water & sewer in place, especially in an area as this property is. Thanks !

[@SherryDavila-dv1mn]

Love to live in Italy ! I have been in Italy and absolutely love this country!♥️

[@BradsWorld]

We came a lot then moved here full time. It’s great! Sitting in my friends new cottage near us. She arrives in a few weeks. She bought it without stepping foot inside. Pool and everything! 💚🤍❤️

[@marykimberlyhayes]

This place is huge. You're right, you can create a completely separate apartment in the Cantina area.

[@herbiUKPL]

I read somewhere that when buying properties in Italy it may be a headache dealing with bits added or modified by the previous owners over the years. Especially when things were not approved by local authority. That small toilet bolted on to the side of the building, would it be a problem/hassle when buying?

[@loisfolk5492]

Wow 😮

[@BradsWorld]

The more I think about this home the more I like it. Yes it is in a small village but the area is so pretty and if.you needed a space for doing your hobby or work like furntiure etc it would be awesome. You can probably get it for €160K and put in some sweat equity and have a hell of a place to call home (or vacation home!)... -BRAD

[@leannewright6843]

I would live in there

[@cynthiainSpain]

I got excited about Costco too!😆

[@BradsWorld]

hehehe. sorry about that! Nothing like Costco here... But they got their own gems here too...

[@michellemason222]

I like the look of the old floors. Nice yard for garden n pets. Does need some updating. Italians have tiny bathrooms. My only concern is the downward slope of driveway to garage. Heavy downpours could mean water issues??

[@BradsWorld]

I didn't see any flooding issues but always good idea to check everything. I only have about 60 mins to film and check these places, always do due dilegence. BRAD

[@wayneevans5050]

if they redid a floor like that, would they chip up all the existing tile or lay new tile over that? That house seems huge, but my house in Houston is 2000 sq ft and looks much smaller. Maybe its just camera angle.

[@BradsWorld]

If the floor is solid, they could go over it. We did that over a commerial terra cotta floor in my biggest palace apartment. Worked out just fine. It would be a TON of work to pull up all that tile. It isn't bad, maybe with the right rugs you could get away with keeping it if that is your style! BRAD

[@wayneevans5050]

You can write me at the email address in the description near bottom or at the website in the video or for the house specifically you can contact the agent directly at her email in the video.

Did anybody else notice the print at the top of the stairs of Long Island, NY???

[@charliebarker1719]

😡No don’t touch the floors they are fantastic

[@BradsWorld]

I’m not touching anything! I just said the new owner would have to decide! You can buy it and not touch anything first thing! 😅

[@charliebarker1719]

We are headed over in the fall to start are search can’t wait. Your videos are great and I love the commentary thanks for all that you do

[@yvanapantino273]

I like the location and price but that bump out bathroom has got to go. we had one of those bump outs in an old home we had once, which I never liked.

[@willycarle3088]

changing the tiles should be a crime !

[@BradsWorld]

Might be depending on the area! Depends on what people think of having broken and missing tiles on floor. Some will say part of the charm, but the same could be said for cracked beams, funky windows etc… Care for the past and comfort in the present. That’s what I say…! 🥳

[@leannewright6843]

Original floors are more expensive

[@gorsmy]

I would like more for my €188.000 euro there a lot better houses for half the price in the south of italy

[@BradsWorld]

Yeah but there is a reason why they are half the price. And there is a reason why the government gives you tax breaks to live there. Why cities are willing to give families money to move to the south….

[@jameydupuy9280]

Please please! You film from your chest out and we can only see the top of areas. It is like being set up on a blind date and only seeing the person from neck up. And barreling through a house without looking side to side. It's like trying to get a house tour with a camera stuck to the head of a giraffe charging through the house trying to get out. Toilets, side alcoves, around corners if rooms are unable to be seen unless you jerk down once every few rooms. I was so excited finding your channel with the better homes but I can't see anything from your chest height down. It us very frustrating. Also hard for people who get motion sick. I'm on my 3rd video trying really hard to watch and end up yelling at the screen in frustration. It takes all the fun out of it. It shouldn't cause frustration. Sorry, thought it may help, and selfishly I would actually like to watch your videos but can't as is.
