Part of me wants a big project again like I did for 25 years in the states. I could work this over one room at a time (bathrooms all at once of course) and turn it back into a masterpiece.

It would be fascinating to read a history of this castle, and the battle for sienna. So much history. You know there are ghosts.

I think caretaker was just being thorough with his comments and knowledge. Nobody would put one in. The floors were offset at each level with even more stairs between levels so the gain from a lift would be minimal. Sad but some places are just not going to be ADA compliant.

Really enjoyed the look around the castle. Interesting with all mod cons.

since all the bathrooms work and the kitchen was already commercial, I bet you could do a lot of reno on this for not a lot of money. The ONLY thing is access. Those steps up and down were killer, and some were almost twice the height of regular steps.

You are welcome! I am not a fan of the screenshot tours either. I think it is something of a disservice. I tried doing one and the main problem is that you can only show what they wanted you to see at the listing side because they took the photos. You can make anything look decent with the right lighting and angles... You have no idea of scale in the photos so you can't really tell how big a room is. Anyway, I prefer to put in the hours and driving and go see neat stuff in person and I thank you for your appreciating that! -BRAD

Caretaker was 85! The son was in his 50's with chest pains...! tour was long enough! That castle was something to be going up and down in. You guys only see a straight walk through when i am done editing. We walk the whole property one time before I even start filming. Then sometimes do a section 2-3 times... I try to get it all in everytime but...!

Brilliant property. Dream home. How touchy are the Italian heritage when it comes to properties like these? In England these institutions would be over you like a rash making demands to return things to original (thinking the commercial kitchen here) or preventing you installing that elevator because it’s not ‘historic’ ? English heritage do nothing on their own, just let buildings crumble but the moment someone buys something they stick their noses in and start making all sorts of demands. It’s why people in England are extremely wary of properties that have a historic grade listing.

@BradsWorld

28 күн бұрын

Well, it wasn’t any problem to put the commercial kitchen in. I don’t think an elevator would help in this case anyway and wouldn’t bother. They’re small sets of steps between the two sides of the castle anyway, so if you did get someone in a wheelchair up to one level they wouldn’t be able to move beyond that level to the other side of the house. It’s just not Wheelchair accessible or even difficulty accessible. Frankly, even though I’m very mobile, it was still difficult. The steps are very random in their height, nothing uniform at all.

>gasp

A really nice castle. Would have loved to see more from inside. 800m2 isn't that big, but the property taxes could be pretty high considering it is a historical castle, or actually a defence fort. Pretty much money needed to put it "back" so to say, get rid of many bathrooms and those horrible newer walls. And that extremely ugly kitchen. Then new electricity, maybe those windows, which seemed to be pretty bad... Then also try to get back those original doors. I know much old stuff has been sold during the years, but still. The main problem is, as always, that terribly complicated and slow bureaucracy, which is in all Mediterranean countries. A lot of beautiful old furniture, and chandeliers, they should all remain here. Wonder who owns it now, if private, why do they sell? How much land comes with this property? Or is it only the castle and the terrace? When buying something like this, there are so many questions already about the construction itself. Hmm.. could actually be a nice home. Little different, but very cool.
