Taking that kitchen wall out is a good idea, Brad. I'd be tempted to remove that whole mezzanine and level that area under it with the rest of that level. I think he went a bit overboard with that yellow marble tile. I'd take some of it out and sell it. I bet it would fetch a good price. Ciao Brad and Olivia!
really like the intro. the information. the visuals. and especially the music. For my tastes, yes, I agree...open up the kitchen, remove the stairs to the loft from the dining/living area. Grazie.
Nice home... pricey for a duplex HOWEVER... some beautiful features! Gorgeous stunning gold yellow marble.. it a lot but it’s nice. I think I’d hire an interior designer to help with main floor kitchen / sunken room furnishing to make it stunning... and maybe less of the brown wood. Agree on the kitchen re-do w/expansion & removing the wall... making it more similar to grand room with a breakfast bar dividing kitchen area. LOVE the contrast of black marble on the stairs. It would be a must for me in the ‘sunken living room’ to add a good color contrast between floor the step down & the floor~ why? Because when we grow older falls absolutely can happen & without the color definition, it a perfect spot to break a hip. So .. possibly place some type of rail around where you’d step up & step down. Like Brads idea to make family room at top of stairs above sunken living room. This is lovely nice home that’s move in ready... but gotta say... and it’s just me... I miss the old Italian features of vault ceilings, rustic floors and walls; something I’ve grown to love here in Italy. It’s the history in most of these homes & it’s what I find I love about Italy!
Beautifully done Brad. I enjoy your tours and your thoughts about Italy . Would it be possible you link the type of music you choose ,some of it amazing and would like to listen to the tunes. Cheers form Canada
They have names like “Happy Piano” or “upbeat guitar logo”… they are usually 1-2 minutes in length and part of a paid service of royalty included music I use. Not really searchable.
A home that has seen a lot of family love.

Yeah it's a little too much, agreed!

Happy upcoming anniversary!
Thanks! We went to Austria and N Italy. It was fabulous!
The house sure has a lot of marble 😂 Huge house to paint.
Yeah it was loaded…!
Perhaps instead of total removal of loft staircase you replace with a more compact spiral staircase.
Yeah, something.
House doesn't seem to be too well thought out. The asking price, is a pipe dream. Just my opinion.
That’s why we call it an ASKING price.
