It was the first house she looked at upon arriving in the small town in central Italy that would be her home for a semester abroad.
But Amanda Knox immediately knew it was the one for her.
The University of Washington student had been in Perugia for just a few hours on a hot summer day in 2007 with her younger sister, Deanna, who saw a poster that included the word "appartamento."
They followed the girl who had posted the ad to a charming, four-bedroom villa near the University for Foreigners of Perugia overlooking a small valley where figs grew.
The sisters chatted for hours in the kitchen with the two friendly Italian girls who lived there and made plans with them to tour the town the next day.
To the wanderlust-driven young American, who had been hitting the books hard and working multiple jobs since high school so she could study abroad, it was a dream come true.
"She didn't need to see any other place, she didn't need to see any other listings, she was set," says her sister.
