Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The apartment is described as being in excellent condition, with a condensing boiler, new double-glazed windows, balcony, garage and parking, so little or no renovation is indicated. At €85,000 (€1,214/m²), it is about 80% above the local €673/m² reference, making it a sound but not especially cheap purchase.
More on the house and the area
This is a clean, genuinely livable apartment with generous rooms, attractive terracotta-style flooring, a full kitchen, bathroom, heating, and a usable balcony. Its strongest appeal is practical value—70 sqm with garage, parking, and cellar for €85,000—rather than exceptional beauty or setting. It would suit someone wanting an affordable ready-to-live-in base, with cosmetic updating likely to improve its character.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated, especially the kitchen, furnishings, and bathroom.
- The outlook is residential rather than a dramatic lake, mountain, or historic-borgo view.
- Balcony, garage, parking, and cellar add practical value, but there is no private garden.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 72/100The area lies in the upper Novara plain between the Sesia and Ticino basins, with the Monte Rosa section of the Pennine Alps visible to the northwest in clear weather. Lake Orta begins within about 10 km, with the west shore around Gozzano and Pettenasco; the south end of Lake Maggiore is also close by, around Arona. The nearest substantial town is Novara for wider services, while Arona on Lake Maggiore is the main nearby lake town with rail links and ferry connections. The Sacro Monte di Orta on Lake Orta is a UNESCO site. This part of Piemonte is known for its proximity to the prealpine lakes and for vineyards of the Colline Novaresi around Boca and Ghemme.
