PANORAMIC TERRACE on this beautiful historical townhouse in ABRUZZO, ITALY close to both sea & Ski.

[@prissilou]

First of all, I want to make sure you know how much joy your videos bring me. My husband and I made the hard decision in 2010 to take guardianship of 2 special needs grandkids. Not long after that, as an escape I suppose, I decided that if we ever won the lottery, we would move to the Amalfi Coast. I took the cover of a magazine and put it on the refrigerator. The kids immediately took up the cause and wanted to know which house we would be moving to. They at first picked out a pink house, but after some discussion, a white house was rechosen from the picture on the refrigerator. This created some amusement in WalMart one day when the question of "when are we moving to the White House" came up. Long story short, the grandkids are grown but still special needs. Not sure if I would ever feel we could leave them to their own devices, but Grandma still likes to shop for that Italian villa. If we ever really DID win the lottery, I suppose we would bring them with us. Thanks for giving an old grandma a smile.

You are a hero!

wish you the best

[@andresvaldes2491]

Keep the dream alive. Maybe you can visit for a few weeks.

[@lindasw793]

What a precious and selfless couple you are. Never lose sight of your dream. Much love and strength 😍

[@owenyexley7290]

Lots of lovely places in Italy to live, but Amalfi Coast would be last on my list. Tourism has destroyed it, look 100 miles south for your italian dream.

[@sportymcsports]

I actually found those clouds in the bright blue sky over the mountains to be incredibly beautiful. 💙

[@jroar123]

I love how close it is to the Church. That means a lot to me and I am not being facetious. I happen to be Catholic you know. I really like the office, the walk onto the terrace is perfect. The views are simply breathtaking. I would be out there all the time.

[@inezrosario226]

I love these videos of homes in Italy. When I was 15 my family took a month long vacation there to visit family. Amazing how the towns have changed so little in 60 years since. When I saw the sign for Pescara, I cried. My Dad's home. Wonderful memories. I'm too old now, but if I was 10 years younger, I'd relocate. Thanks again for your beautiful videos. I live vicariously through them. ❤

[@AliceHernandez-d9i]

I have just now gotten off your web site and am amazed at the services you offer. I found your utube viewings just a short time ago and wasn't able to concentrate on my goal to live in Italy. I was feeling overwhelmed by the work that is involved and feeling discourged. Viewing your site has given me new hope. I of course realize that you have no control of the listings, but I do love that the properties you spotlight are wonderful and thoughtfully picked. I will continue to watch your videos and hope to come on a future tour. I can't believe my luck on finding you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@romyhernandez7811]

What is his website ?

[@eliakimbenishchayil]

Please do a tour of the town so we can see the super market, butcher, restaurants and cafe’s oh and the schools to. I am planning on moving there and want to see what the town has to offer.

[@MrPooties]

Yeah for this price is a great one. And the potential of the downstairs part is amazing

[@johnsonrepp]

Has to be the best all around property under 100k that you have shown us. Wow

[@Catmoore60]

This is an amazing place, with so many lovely details in the refurbished part, and then you have the equivalent of an entire different household to be redone in the lower property. With some vision, some elbow grease and a willingness to invest, you could either have a rentable apartment to generate income down there, or a wonderful, completely independent home for visitors/family. Very nice, and I would leave the upper part just as it is...I would most likely be eating most meals on the terrace, passing the food through from the kitchen window!

[@pamconlinrealtor]

What a stunning view. I absolutely love the possibility of this home. Beautiful!

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Adoro questa casa. È perfetta secondo me. Mi piace avere washer in cucina invece di bagno. Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤

[@bostith2236]

That deck is phenomenal. The home is pretty special as well. Wow what a find and I think someone will score with this home. I Love It.

[@angelikaswainson777]

That place is really beautiful. The terrace is gorgeous!!!

[@DT-vc7hd]

"Can you hear my knee crack'n?" 😂 It just gets worse with every passing year, Dave! That's why I'm trying to move to Italy now why I still have the ability to climb and hike!

[@dhab146]

Your voice mixed with your videos is so relaxing . Amazing area.

[@obber9561]

What a fabulous property this one is the best I’ve seen for months … thank you, your videos also me me joy, I wish I could buy something lite this one day 😢

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

Loved seeing this in person last week. Can't believe it's still on the market. If we had a great weather day like you did when you recorded, you might've convinced me to buy on the spot. What views! But the transportation thing....

[@jennifercasunduan-sumi5555]

The clouds are fab! It looks like a brontosaurus.😊

[@pawlieblog7967]

Love this place. I’d keep the library/office instead of a dining room too. You could eat outside, Al fresco, most of the time. Or just eat in the lounge.

[@chrisward2954]

Love this Property. I would def change the Library! into a beautiful dining room making sure that coloured thing on the wall goes! Lovely terrace for eating and drinking. AND such good value for dosh! All in all I could very easily live in this historic property.

[@kyotecreek1934]

This is one of the BEST views / terraces... Absolutely Gorgeous! If possible, I would turn the ground floor into a very nice apartment with its own Fabulous view ❤

[@BushRealtySC]

Stunning terrace, indeed!! Love it! 👍👍🙋‍♀💜

[@jennifercasunduan-sumi5555]

50! Congrats🎉🎉You are just a kid😉😉 I just turned 61.😮 Wouldn’t mind waking up to that view! Can you say a little more about the weather at different times of the year? Thanks!

[@harryukraine]

You seem so happy in your videos. It must be an amazing place if you are so excited.

[@sportymcsports]

The bells are magnificent. ❤

Looking to rent before we buy in Italy. 🇮🇹 getting ready for our trip.

[@shellyharry8189]

Wow ❤! A home run!

[@pamjacobson6236]

Stunning! I love this one! The bottom part could be a separate apartment.

[@FreddieMartin-c9q]

I love this kitchen! It reminds me of my mom and the kitchen I grew up with! ❤️

[@RealBrunoF]

I must admit that I am well and truly stunned😊!!!!!!

[@Winnie-hq5hs]

Amazing view from the terasse❤

[@amazingG27]

So glad to see Schteve finally out with the pack❤🎉

[@RCP3Kids]

What an amazing breathtaking view in a wonderful quirky property. Can I move today? Let me talk to the wife! BTW - you're video's are not just informative but you are extremely entertaining. Clearly you love Italy and are doing the country and these small villages a great service! I'm watching them all and soon maybe seeing you in person!

[@calgal5752]

I love the bells! I miss the call to prayers when we lived in Dubai too….so beautiful!

[@Maria-zq5sk]

This would be a perfect holiday home, as I got used to Italian life!

[@dog8art1]

I would modernize the kitchen and make the window to terrace a door. Change the library to a living eating area off that great terrace. Upstairs make the sitting area back into the master...the master into a guest room and the a walk in dressing room/closet next to the big bathroom. If possible make the storage room in there a larger shower. Lots to do. Also clean up outside in the back. Gues

[@CasandraCats]

New to your channel, fantastic, appreciate your sense of humor 😊 I would have loved for you show the window you pointed out from the outside of the building. Thank you for such an entertaining showing.

[@KatherineConcepcion-du8bs]

Stunning views!!😊❤❤👍🏽

[@kenyonbissett3512]

I would probably set up a sleeping area on the terrace with mosquito (bug) netting. I used to have my best sleep on a covered sleeping porch. So easy to imagine.

[@ValerieBarris-wr5mv]

Great. I love the storage area !!! Its another unfinished apartment. Live the price. Terrace needs a fall proof fencing surround.

[@christineshields1714]

Well, after showing my husband video after video you've finally done it! My husband said, "Now this one would be worth the trip over." We don't need 3 bedrooms. We'd keep the room used as the living room as is. The guest room bathroom could be reworked. We'd remove the tub, make the bathroom a bit smaller by removing/moving the wall between the bedroom and bathroom, moving it in a bit, and adding a walk-in shower. This would create a larger bedroom that we'd use as the master with an ensuite. The kitchen is quite functional, however in time I think I'd add nicer cabinetry and appliances. That terrace is to die for! Don't know what we'd do with the ground floor space, maybe a bit of storage and an apartment?

Good morning ⛅️🙏 couldn't wait to see this video much luv & respect 🙏 to you from jamaica 🇯🇲 the view absolutely stunning 🌟

[@kcali_058]

Hello David, #100!! Stunning view. Would spend most of my time there. Amenities sound great, and proximity to other towns very convenient. Will be there in November. Cannot wait. Take Care. No. CA, USA.

[@Agg1E91]

KCALI_058, my wife and I are also coming to the November tour, from central Texas. Looking forward to actually walking through these sorts of properties, as well as the towns.

[@carolannhodgson5303]

I guess you wheel barrow your food & water in? Seems hard to access unless you pick up small items daily? Beautiful view; lots of work to be done.

[@allanhfchin]

What a house, Dave! I love galley kitchens, so I wouldn't change anything except maybe make that opposite wall the breakfast area as you mentioned. I'd turn the office with the terrace back into a smallish living room with a dining table between the kitchen and the stairs going farther up. The living room doesn't have to be so large since I would spend time out on the terrace when the weather is nice. The upstairs living room I'd turn back into a bedroom and see if a bathtub can be installed in place of the storage space in the ensuite. Otherwise, as for the "middle" bedroom I'd see about removing the wall with the photos and closing off the entire space, making it one huge bedroom with a dressing area and the ensuite that already has the bathtub! As for the unfinished space next door, punch through on the inside, then finish off that space into a complete apartment. 🙂

[@TubeTorte]

There was a surprising amount of space in that "storage area" and not a whole lot of stairs. All you need is a pile of money and I would guess a lot of patience if all that one read's about getting work of that kind done in Italy is true.

[@sandragruhle6288]

Darn! That’s what happened to my shoe! Here I blamed my dog!🤭🤫😊I should never tire of that view!

[@TerriBurgess-q5e]

This is perfect! October can’t get here fast enough❤ I got a little teary eyed. I can see myself living in this house❤

[@Friskyhorton]

Thhats a winner Dave.❤

[@ZackP1]

Very tempted with this one, the downstairs area that needs tlc is almost exactly the kind of thing we are looking for, if it’s still available by the time we get to italy(in about a month and a half), we are definitely adding this to the potential properties, this gets a 9.8 out of 10 on the stunning scale, Dave!

[@mr-vet]

Love it! I’d make the lounge back into the master bedroom. The other bedroom with the en-suite, I’d replace the bed with a futon or sleeper sofa or convert into an office. The space on the main floor adjacent to the terrace, would be the living- dining area. The main detractor of this pro is that there is not WC on the main floor. The ground floor space could be converted into an a great entertainment area or an apartment. Stunning‼️

[@KrisZebell]

Beautiful!

[@kimhorton6109]

Do terrace owners ever put pergolas or half covers so there is someplace out of the sun to joy the breeze and sounds of the city and birds? I have typical English heritage problems with the sun and anywhere I live has to have at least a little covered area so I can read a book and move a little. I liked the kitchen. To me a small kitchen is better where everything is just a couple steps away. Lovely home. Thanks for the tour.

[@jadoremakeup1422]

Here is a question out of left field, how does trash collection work in Italy. This is the first property that had trash and recycle bins. There are never trash cans in garages or cantinas. I've seen properties where the front door is down a narrow alley where a trash truck would not fit in the space. In the Unites States, garbage cans are taken to the curb of your property and the trucks come by and empty them. There are no curbs around these properties. Where do you put the trash for collection? How often is it collected?

[@leesalyer8944]

Amazing

[@wilfredolopez2914]

Hi, good morning beautifully town at Abruzzo I'm really fantastic ready for get for there's I will advised to you 🎉❤

[@kellyr4479]

Curious as to how hot it gets in the summer and how cold during the winter

[@wayneevans5050]

Wow. Stunning. Once again. I want it just because of the view. But the house is nearly perfect as well. And . . There’s another unfinished house below. Or workshop space. It’s a shame you can’t park right at it. But hey, nothing’s completely perfect. If only I could talk the wife into moving. I do intend to bring her to see abruzzo soon though.

[@angelomasciantonio]

You can certainly drive right to the front door to drop off groceries, etc but you can't leave car there since "road" is not wide enough for another car to pass. When these houses were built, there was probably enough space for two small wagons pulled by a horse or donkey to pass by each other ....

[@wayneevans5050]

@@angelomasciantonio Yes I get all that, but still that’s a drawback to an extent, but not necessarily a deal breaker.

[@MrSpleenboy]

Absolutely fantastic for the price. I'm guessing the structure of the lower floor area is sound, but it got damp at some point, and the plaster came off the ceilings. It'd take a bit of time and effort, but there's certainly plenty you could do with that area. It's deceptively spacious! Definitely enough room to make a full apartment in there I'd keep the upstairs apartment as is, but maybe have a dining table in the "office", so that it can double as office and dining space, as it's handy for the terrace... Speaking of, that is a great terrace with amazing views! All in all, a bit of paint or wash on the outer walls, maybe expose a bit of stonework, just a bit of a tidy up really. Internally it's fine, at some point in the future you'd maybe update the bathrooms and kitchen, maybe re-weld the lounge balcony railing, or replace if it's too rusty, but there's really nothing wrong with any of it. That's my thoughts anyway. It does seem a real pity that some of the houses close by look like they're on the verge of collapse, because they could be so nice if given a bit of love.

[@TubeTorte]

I don't think all the stair climbing required would be appropriate for everyone. Probably why the townspeople have moved into the new buildings with modern conveniences. I'm curious what the costs of those are. Have you ever lived with a kitchen 2 floors down from your living or bedroom? I think it would get old quickly. (I think I saw a small fridge upstairs in this or another video & it's no wonder). If retired people are interested in these, best if they give all the stair climbing & the distance to parking area some serious thought. The views are just incredible. but I never see a terrace that looks as though anyone is making use of it. Wonder if the reason for this is weather or wind related. Every patio in the US has a sun umbrella & patio furniture on it. Never see them in these videos.

[@ValerieBarris-wr5mv]

Tell me if I'm wrong. Historic centers are not allowed to install air conditioning.

[@Turk-tf6vp]

If you could find something about 85 km North in Farindola that be amazing.

[@cdcox]

Was there a bathroom in the ground floor area? There was a small space with green tile, but Dave didn’t go in. What was that?

[@gsmmdismailmolla3135]

If you write description like this people can share like comment share will get more and video of your youtube channel will increase your business In winter, another highlight of this townhouse is the nearby ski resort. While enjoying the view of the snow-capped mountains all around, you can visit the ski resort and enjoy the fun of skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports. Viewing these magnificent views from the windows of the townhouse will fill your heart with joy.

[@margarethkoops8119]

Hello David. What an amazing property. I am coming to Abruzzo in November. Applying for my residency in September here in NY.. I have driven through the mountains to the Adriatic coast a few times to Pescara. I will be looking somewhere in the mountains. I would love a small property top floor one floor view terrace to be there in summer rent out in winter. The bells are perfect timing. It is stunning. I did send an email never heard back. I will be renting a car because I will be looking for a property, but I will need a rental commitment for my residency process. I have a lawyer but need a rental agreement. I bet you are all set up. Hope to hear from you or someone in your office. Thanx Gina in Upstate New York USA

[@FreddieMartin-c9q]

You might as well admit it! You most likely would have forgotten to bring the torch anyhow. . . 😉

[@angelomasciantonio]

Unless you are 7 feet tall, the wall is just fine. I would think it's at least 1m high (3') which was a standard in many countries for many years. Now it's min 1.07m (3'-6") in many places which isn't that much higher. Maybe cut back on the vino if it's an issue ......

For me, the room off the kitchen would be pretty sparse on the furniture and would have a table which seated 4 on the sides and 2 on the ends. In the upstairs lounge/BdRm, leave as lounge and not have a small table. Probably hang a tv on the exposed rock wall and then have his and hers computer desks in each corner.
