At €403/m², the €89,000 asking price is already above the local €345/m² benchmark; allowing about €44,200 for habitable-home updates brings the effective cost to roughly €602/m². The townhouse has strong practical features—garage, heating, balcony, and terrace—but Rondissone offers no clear location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely habitable townhouse with a highly distinctive stone façade, balcony, terrace, garage, heating, and three bathrooms. The wood-paneled staircase, parquet bedrooms, terrazzo floors, and traditional furnishings give it strong lived-in character, though the interiors need cosmetic updating rather than a full renovation. At €89,000 for 221 sqm, it has real bargain appeal despite lacking a spectacular setting or polished modern finish.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated, with extensive wood paneling and older fixtures.
- No major landscape, garden, or scenic view is shown; the outdoor appeal is limited to the balcony and terrace.
- Exterior wall cracks and general maintenance should be checked before purchase.
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 31/100Rondissone sits on the flat Canavese and lower Po plain near the Dora Baltea, in a landscape of fields, irrigation channels, roads and scattered industrial and logistics sites. The nearest town of size is Chivasso, which has a railway junction, shops and services. Turin is the main city for work and services, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of the province is known more for transport corridors and agriculture than for a distinct scenic setting.
