This compact Palermo home has a genuinely attractive mountain view from its balcony and retains some traditional details, including terrazzo floors and old shutters. However, the real interiors are worn and damp-looking, with dated services and a major renovation required; the attractive modern images do not represent the current livability.
- The actual property is in poor condition, with damp/peeling walls, outdated wiring and a very basic bathroom and kitchen.
- The polished interior and facade images appear to be renovation renderings rather than the current state.
- Substantial renovation is needed before comfortable full-time living; verify utilities, structural condition and permits.
