Yikes - what an assembly of ugly bits and pieces that together looks even worse if they were apart. A would-be buyer wouldn't even know where to start to 'fix it'. The interior could be slightly reworked, but there is only so much money and effort you can invest.

The red ceiling foyer just invites a comparison to "Tony" Montana's "pad" in Scarface complete with the ugly brass railing of the stairs.

Sure Mario lives right next door but even living next to legend goes only so far in glossing over this wreck. I've been to Italy for extended periods frequently enough to know nothing in that house emulates rich craftsmanship of Italy!

The ceilings seem very low in several rooms and what is up with that cheap Home Depot on-sale looking cherry wood everywhere? The contemporary exterior looks like a commercial building and planetarium were slammed together. I vote this one for a Luxist hall of shame ...
