FANTASTIC property in a town close to SEA & SKI and with public transport including a TRAIN STATION 

Another amazing apartment in the middle of a lovely town. This is not an empty town, it has a great train station and everything you could ask for.

Let's call this one the Stairway to Heaven😂

Fabulous...my fave part is the unfinished portion...I have a place around the corner...see you in Raiano!

This will knock someone's socks off. The wall in the kitchen needs to be gone, expose some stone and bricks and you will have a piece of Italy with all the goodies in this town.. Great find Dave.

In Italy they drive on the same side of the road as we do in America. Totally cool.

A flat town with a train station... excellent! And big rooms, with lots of light on the main floor. Nice one!

Loads of space at a very good price, great condition!---but very awkward layout (mitigated somewhat by the wee en suite in main bedroom). Underwhelming floor tile replacement, very odd little jump down from stairwell room, lovely attic space, could be super!

I will have two comments on this video. I just needed to say I woke up this morning, came out to my kitchen to make breakfast and I started this video. I set my phone down to get something from my fridge and 18 seconds in we already have a “Stunner”. I literally said out loud, “oh no I’m not ready to start counting yet!”

Dave seriously - best home ever! I would do our two offices in the rooms along the stairs. I would take out or arch the wall between the kitchen and living room. I’m soooo ready. Have to get me husband on board then we move! 7% flat tax town is important so Raiano meets the requirements. Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤

Oh what a delight indeed, to have this at my fingertips. I had no idea, I just stumbled across this site.....Oh how beautiful, the birthplace of my precious and beautiful mother...I miss her so much...God is taking care of her now....

This place is a bit quirky but in a good way. Our only concern would be all the stairs. But then, that's part of the secret of staying healthy, right? This home could be moved into straight away and renovated over time. Agree with opening the kitchen to the dining room, modernizing the kitchen layout. Wonder if 1/2 bath off main bedroom could be enlarged a bit to accommodate a full bathroom? Second bedroom off stairs would be ideal for study/office. Top floor would make 2 nice guest rooms, bathroom, sitting area. Oh! The possibilities. You can't beat the location either. Another intriguing property, Dave.

David, my wife and I are planning on buying a vacation property in Italy and your coverage of the available properties is wonderful and very helpful for us. Thank you! We plan on using your services once we are ready.

I would leave the wall between the kitchen and dining room as is or maybe open up the doorway a tad with a narrow arch. I've ways been a fan of separate dining rooms because I don't like looking at he kitchen while entertaining guests.

I wouldn't take out the wall, what would you do with the frig?

Definitely going to need to do something about the stairs that hallway cover the door in the “tiny room” which is kind of creepy! 😳

This is every cleaners absolute nightmare.

I would do one side of top floor bath and master closet, other side bedroom. Center sitting area.

This is a super bright apartment, spaces are nice and big. Overall, beautiful! I agree with you, that the kitchen wall should come down. I'd take down the plaster on the exterior walls, to reveal stone if there is any to see, and the floors would be replaced with large terracotta tiles in a diagonal pattern- 15x15" tiles maybe? Then outlined in a smaller tile- possibly patterned. The main level is a bit plain right now for us, hence the small reno ideas, but that attic space... WOW! That would be the master suite for sure. One side bedroom with added windows. The center space would be an office to keep that beautiful light flowing as it is, perhaps add a window if the city allows it. The other room would be the master bath. The angled area would be a closet with built in drawers and hanging space. OMG, so many ideas... the lower staircase would need to be re-jigged a bit to allow for a larger landing for the bottom bedroom and that smaller weird space. Then the doorway to the smaller space would have to be made bigger, to allow for a proper entry into the room. If there was stone to expose in the stairwell, that would be done too, and I would definitely expose the ceiling in the entrance bedroom. Lots of potential to create a really unique home. Rental potential too with that lower bedroom if you turned the smaller space into a bathroom..hmmmmm. Another great property !

Thank you, Dave….great property. Happy New Year!

I still didn’t get reply to my previous message and I’m bit reluctant to make any comments for this property, :(

Love the sound of church bells. It is very Italy.

Another great one David! I would open that wall between the kitchen and dinning but I would close off the kitchen just past the fireplace and put another bathroom in with a bigger shower. The current full bath I'd change into a laundry room possibly leaving the commode and bidet in there. With a larger bathroom on the main floor I'd leave the little bathroom off the main bedroom just as it is. I'm not sure what I'd do with the top floor but there are so many options. Great start to the new year!

The small room on the staircase near the second bedroom, if you notice, has hooks hanging from the ceiling. This means it was used for keeping hams, sausages and other food stuffs. Very old houses in England often had these hooks too in kitchens or adjacent rooms. A very nice place I wouldn’t do much more than re-decorate not everyone wants their kitchen in their dining room.

Great price for a pristine house... definitely move in ready, you can get rid of that kitchen wall and finish off the attic when time allows. 👍🏼

The beauty of this place is that you could do some changes but also you can leave it as it is. I love this place. Location,location,location ❤

It's a great property with some unique spaces. Thanks for sharing ❤

This place is so beautiful. I love this apartment❤ I also love in Italy the homes don’t have carpet. Here the US a lot of homes have carpet and I have allergies so it’s bad for people like me who have allergies.

Charming & well maintained. Love the historic character. Tons of potential upstairs. Great location! 🙋‍♀💜

My brain is racing 🤯 ! That one is interesting, in a good way. Its stunning but the potential is GREAT! LOVE IT and LOVE Raiano. Thank you

I just loved everything about it. ❤

No shower needed at main bedroom. Just enough to not walk up stairs in the middle of the night

I love the location, and how beautiful it is on the inside. Just needs more bathrooms. Then finish the top floor. . It is stunning. 😃

Thanks for the videos, they are fun to watch.

Yes remove kitchen wall. Absolutely beautiful.

Those beautiful church bells ❤

I would make the whole upstairs the master bedroom and bathroom and widen the windows and put in skylights

Well, the trailer was definitely spot on! Great spot - really starting to love Raino! Upstairs for sure master suite. Is there the possibility to put in air conditioning? Someone (Dave) mentioned in a video that that’s NOT always possible! This one is just fun!

A flat town with everything needed. Perfect!

Stunning ❤! I was wondering, what was the building before it was converted into housing?

Has anybody tried to get a hold of David by email? I have tried to write 3 times with no responce for over 2 months now. If you see this post David, I would love to get a hold of you since I am interested in buying a flat though you :)

Great place David for sure.... and for the money... You got the great atmosphere in the film as well. You could put 2 more bedrooms up top + a small bathroom. Teh staircase rooms are a bit too strange for me. Negotiating them in the middle of the night might be tough for me. But wow, good value and what they have refurbished they did well. Good luck to whoever buys this. Brotherly love from Australia.

Hello all! I keep hearing references to bars. Are Italian bars more like places to gather rather than places to drink alcohol...or are they like American bars where you go for your alcoholic beverages? Which brings up another question... With so many bars, do people have to deal with a lot of drunkenness in the streets?

Stunning count (I’m going to include stunner in here): 4 I think there is sooo much potential with the kitchen and the upstairs area. I’m assuming the camera’s wide angle is distorting the view of the space, but it seems pretty tight quarters in a few areas.

I wish the floor tiles were not white

Bella casa, ma le scale sono strane, e un po' pericolose,

Happy new year David..

I change out those metal kitchen cabinets and that’s about all I do in the kitchen maybe new appliances. Up in the attic rooms I would not put in a skylight window. I open up the windows a little bit bigger and just clean up the walls and put up banister around the stairwell looks kind of dangerous that’s it. Life’s good.

Love it

Stunning property in a fantastic location. I would turn the attic into a master suite. Bathroom on one side and giant walk in closet on other side. Also remove wall between kitchen and living room and have a giant arch installed.

The wall that separates the kitchen and dining room needs to stay. I don't want to have a romantic dinner and have the mess in the kitchen exposed. It totally ruins the mood. If you are having a business client over for dinner, you would want to close the door to hide the mess. Especially since it is a lovely dining room and an ugly kitchen. There are such things as clear shower curtains so no one can hide behind it. I agree with you about the washing machine. It needs to be turned. I don't want to have to stand in the shower to get to my laundry. The door in the attic right in front of the stairs freaks me out. Imagine your arms full coming out the door, boom, One misstep and down you fall. That door needs to be moved or some of railing added.

Hello which airport do you go to for this area. Is there a high school and do they speak any English .. Is there a market , what is the name of the ski area and how far to the ski and beach .I love your videos , Is it just abruzzo area you cover .

дом прекрасный! много лабиринтов! :)) что плохо-под окнами парковка, площадь, много машин и дышать выхлопами машин задержавшимся между домами ......

Love the idea of Italy, but these towns are so empty it's a bit scary to invest in such a place.

I am wanting a house that I can grow my fruit and veg but still close enough to travel to the city . Can you advise me the area, I love mountains , lakes and beaches,

Beautiful apartment!:)

My only concern would be the noisiness living off the square?

I’m not a fan of open concept kitchens, I like them hidden from living area

Like 2 know if this propperty is still on the market. 😏 also just "perfetto" !! ❤

Would be great & helpful to include a look at the train station, the grocery store, a restaurant, a bar etc. That’s so key 🔑

I wwould expand the bathroom to accommodate a shower in the master bedroom.

Lovely video. ❤️🇵🇱 I hope to see more on Poland

You were looking for a color to call that building. I would call it a peach.

Is this house sold? I dont see it listed anywhere anymore? thank you

Now, if only I could see my cousin Daniele walk by...I'm throwing him a kiss just the same....God bless this amazing man and his precious and beautiful family...God take good care of them...I will see them soon.

Excellent review and a very quirky place but nice. I agree Dave I'd ditch the wall between kitchen and dining. renovate the kitchen with an island counter and seating, as well as a revised dining in the new enlarged and brighter space. Really cool. or should I say stunning?

Very nice this one. I'd knock out the kitchen wall as you mentioned and given the upstairs' fantastic space I'll turn the weird bedroom into an office space. We'll be trying to visit beautiful Abruzzo in August (I know it's hot but my niece from abroad can only come in that timeframe): any suggestions on where to book a place? I mean as a town to move around easily by car without splurging money for accomodations. Your area (Chieti province) or Sulmona area? Also happy new year to you and you family ❤

I can see the potential 💚

I bet it's "stunning" !!!!!!

I love this home. I’ll be in a position to purchase a home in Italy soon. Preferably this one. However, I’m afraid this house will sell fast.

Cool space. But you are living on top of a giant parking lot 🅿️ 😮

Very cool property. Thank you for this and keep up the great work!!

I was wondering where one would park and why you didn" t mention whether or not one could park on the street when suddenly I was able to read the sign in front of the corner of the house. Parking for residents only. So, if I am correct, it' s guaranteed you could park just outside.

I would make that upper area a master bedroom with a large bathroom on one side & nice closet area on the other. I may move a washer & dryer into that closet & expand the shower in that original bathroom. I would knock out that wall between the kitchen & dining room like you suggested. I only need one dining table!

It’s querky and wonderful. The spaces could be fun. If I had the 98euro Id consider it. Always fun to see.

I like this property and is far larger than I imagined.

Parking spot??

Interesting for sure. I thought is was rather ordinary until you went up to the attic AND the lower bedroom.

There is no shower??

Thank you for this exquisite and most peaceful photo of the most beautiful place on earth.

Oh my...when did this come back? Is it still avail???

Nice 1 Dave, what a way to get 2024 started, it's a beaut!

The possibilities!!! Love it!

Would you update your posts to note if a property has been sold, please? That would be extremely helpful.

You are 100% spot on! Take down the wall between the kitchen and the dining room”room” you will make the apartment look twice the size. That will probably wreck those floors though 🤷‍♂️

I'm stunned by how stunning this stunningly stunning apartment is. Love a lot of the features, but then again there are some odd spaces that leave me questioning what to do with them. Stairs to a second bedroom that cuts into the stairs with more stairs? That odd claustrophobic room along the stairway? Interesting to say the least. I just found out that as a Canadian, I can't buy property in Italy. I will have to look into getting my Italian passport in that case. Thanks for sharing this stunning property, David.

Are the other two mini garages downstairs part of the property?

Fabulous

It’s really good of you to go to the trouble of explaining a good solution and doing it so politely. Sorry if I sounded harsh and thanks again!

Very nice, Stunning property and 10 point location. And Happy new year from cold Finland.

Love!

Looks promising. Gr8 location tho! Top - floor : ensuite with a walk-in closet and a terrace....if geomatra ok'd😊 😊😊 I always look fwd to yr house wknd reveal. Thank you for a lovely wknd.

Furnished?

Lots of potential!

Fab location with wonderful outlook and views.

David, Happy New Year to you and your lovely family! It's a great place that could be two apartments. I didn't see the cost of the place at all unless, I had missed it. Is it possible to find something for single retired senior citizen living alone on a fixed income people. Great job!

Dave you gotta use a different word to compliment things. I am either desensitized or irritated. I avoid your video even though the rest of the production is good. C’ mon please

Lovely flat.

Sorry this one is not worth the money and I don't like how it's laid out. I want a move in.
