luxury house for sale Alba Iulia, Romania

This interwar building, design in Neo-Romanian style, is located in Sibiu, in the immediate vicinity of the 15th century medieval fortified enclosure. The ensemble is classified in the List of Historical Monuments in Romania by order no. 2030/2014 with code SB-II-a-B-21084, and includes: the main residence (SB-II-m-B-21084.01), the first annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.02) and the second annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.03). According to cartographic sources, around 1875 there was another building on the place of the current one. In 1909, the plot was owned by Henrik Baumann, in 1929 the ownership right was registered for Luiza and Friedrich Baumann. The inscription on the portico’s floor and on the façade indicates its year of construction as 1929, the project being signed by architect Alfred Cernea, as the concrete slab on the façade indicates. Most likely, the project was commissioned by Dr. Liviu Turcu. The present building is emblematic for its Neo-Romanian style. The characteristic features are: massive volumetry, highlighting the central body, loggia with short and thick columns, carved wooden structures inspired by the vernacular architecture, trilobed arches, openings with semi-circular closure and rich decorations with Oriental motifs. The central side of the façade is taller than the other parts, which is also highlighted at the roof. The central area of the ground floor contains a window with semi-circular closure, framed by two embedded Corinthian columns. The floor of the central part is the richest ornamented part of the façade, elevated by the balcony, supported on four massive consoles, decorated with arabesque panels. The loggia opens through three tall trilobate arcades. The façade surfaces around the arches are decorated in an exuberant style with spindles, flowers and arabesques. The main façade of the building offers a panoramic view of the entire garden, at the center of which is an ornamental pool. The access to the yard is made through an alley flanked by tall trees. Designed as an urban villa-style residence with a park around the central building, it initially hosted the Dr. Bolintineanu Sanatorium, and in November 1936 it became Dr. Antal's For Births and Female Diseases Clinic. The building was nationalized in 1948 with this function, soon becoming the headquarters of Sibiu General Sanitary Inspectorate, then a kindergarten, a function preserved until the 1990s. In 2000 the villa and the parcel were returned to the heir family. Today, the imposing building keeps almost intact its original design, projected by architect Cernea, with the valuable decorative elements of the façades. The two annexes were also preserved, realized in a unitary architectural design, the fence near the street along with the main gate, the alley lined by trees, the rampant, the staircase and the basin in front of the main building. Inside, valuable items have been preserved, such as decorative paintings of the ceiling and the original carpentry. Other main attractions add up to the exquisite architectural details, such as: the generous yard of over 5000 sqm and the proximity to The Big Square in Sibiu, located at only 200 m. An outstanding witness of the only national architecture program in Romania, located in a central area of Sibiu, this splendid interwar villa is silently and hopefully waiting for its new owner.

While Hunedoara is in fact a peaceful modern town, local residents take pride in their place in legends and stories of infamy. One of the city’s highlights is the Hunedoara Castle, also known as Corvin or Hunyadi Castle. You may recognise it as the backdrop for several haunting movies. This castle was built and added to over several centuries, resulting in a multi-towered and somewhat forbidding appearance with a mix of Renaissance and Baroque architecture and a surrounding moat.

Bram Stoker supposedly modelled his literary Count Dracula after this evil tyrant. Make a pilgrimage to the Prislop Monastery south of the city where the Romanian monk Arsenie Boca is buried. Many visitors bring flowers to the gravesite of this priest, beloved for his spiritual and anti-communist acts. Farther south see the Cetatea Colț or Colt Citadel. Hike up a hill to the ruins of this 14th-century castle that may have inspired Jules Verne’s novel The Carpathians’ Castle. Hunedoara offers attractions that are typical of modern Romania.

Holiday house on the hill Brad, Hunedoara With the forest at the back, the property has a special charm to which the location on a hill contributes greatly- the view towards the small town of Brad in the valley is stunning both in late summer, when the meadows are strewn with haystacks, and in winter, when the snow covers the houses, the fields, and forests. The architecture is typical of the mountain with the solid, stone-hewn ground floor and wooden balconies with cheerful geraniums hanging from the railings. The interior also respects the convention of mountain interior design having the walls clad in wood; their warm and understated hue provides the perfect backdrop for relaxed living. It is a rustic minimalism, dewormed from classic intrusions that slip easily into kitsch. Elegant crocheted curtains and wooden furniture add charm. The inviting kitchen and generous terraces with hammocks make for relaxing afternoons, and in the evening the panorama is magical – the lights of the valley look like fireflies dancing in the night. On the ground floor are the living room with open kitchen, the toilet and the separate technical room; the first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub and shower and on the second floor there are two bedrooms, one of which has both a double bed and a sofa and space for an extra bed, with access to the 100 sqm balcony that surrounds the building. In addition, there is also a generous storage space of 36m2. On the property there is also a workshop/storage shed for tools, bikes, ATVs (area 16.5 sq m), a 92 sq m terrace with lawn, built-in bathtub for 10 people, relaxation corner with campfire and a summer kitchen covered, with a terrace of about 30 sqm. The lodge has a camera system with mobile phone access (5 cameras), alarm system, fiber glass internet connection and drinking water connection from the municipal network. One can also reach the cottage from the road using the picturesque wooden stairs. In addition to guaranteed relaxation on the property, the area also offers the possibility of mountain hiking, mountain bike rides or fishing; skiing can be done in the neighboring county, on the slopes of Alba. In Brad there is an interesting gold museum that documents the history of the mining industry in the area; currently the mines are closed, wood processing being the predominant activity in the region. Some of them can be visited on an organized tour, and the Retezat National Park and the city of Deva with its fortress are not even an hour away.

The castle was built during the 17th century by Gyulay Ferencz, an Austrian general, the only child of Hungarian nobleman Gyulay Ignacz. Ferencz built the mansion on the site of a smaller building. The general’s family ruled the town called Mintia, that was renamed Marosnemeti, a term derived from the Hungarian word nemet, that translates to German. Several descendants of the Gyulay family lived at the castle. Historical documents from 1806 state that the Mintia mansion was owned at that time by Gyulay Istvan, followed by Albert and K.R Gyulay. Countess Gyulay of Mintia, who married Ladislau Kuun of Osdola, later inherited the domain together with her brother, Ludovic. In 1848, the Gyulay family took refuge at Cluj and, after the revolution, Ludovic, Ladislau Kuun, his wife Constance, and their children, Irene and Geza, returned to Mintia. Ludovic was the last heir of the Gyulay family. He wrote over 100 journals about the mansion and about Mintia. All of them are preserved at the Cluj-Napoca history museum. Ludovic Gyulay modified the building in 1834, giving it the shape it has today. Ludovic Gyulay never got married and, therefore, never had any heirs. His fortune was inherited by his brother-in-law, Ladislau Kuun, followed by his son, Geza Kuun. Geza studied Hungarian and German literature at the Universities of Budapest and Gottingen, and was a member and vice president of the Budapest Academy of Sciences. He was part of Vienna’s elite social circles, and became friends with the famous composer Franz Liszt – one of the most prominent pianists of all time. It was then that he also met writer Elena Ghica – daughter of Mihai Ghica, niece of Grigore Ghica the 4th, and the first woman to have climbed the Mont Blanc peak, on June 1st 1860. After 1870, Geza Kunn settled at Mintia and married Vilma Kemeny, the daughter of baron Kemeny of Magyar-Gyeno Monosto. His presence here transformed the town into a gathering place for eminent representatives of the cultural and scientific scenes, which included V. Zakrzewski – professor at the Cracovia University, Al. Szilagyi – secretary of the Historical Society, baron Balazs Orban, A. Szecsen –Imperial Court marchal. The beauty of the mansion located on the bank of Mureș River was also admired by the president of the Archeological Society – Solyon Fekete, the director of the Deva History Museum – Teglas Gabor, and by scientist Samuel Brassay – regarded as Transylvania’s last polymath. The immense library of the Mintia Castle and the salon, decorated with family portraits and precious objects, were visited by prefect George Pogany, subprefect Coloman Barcsay, count Coloman Esterhazy – director of the Transylvania Museum, by Otto von Keller – professor at the University of Prague, Zsolt Beothy – professor at the Budapest University, and by Norwegian scientist Conrad Nielsen. Baron Miklos Josika also traveled from Brănişca to Mintia, either on foot, by car, or on horseback. He also traveled by boat on Mureş River in order to admire the park that surrounded the castle. The rare species of plants and trees that embellished the park were mesmerizing. Count Kuun named the trees after the most important Hungarian writers, many of whom had been his friends. One of the trees, for example, bore the name of Attila, in the memory of Attila Gerando. Amid the rose bushes, the visitor could also discover numerous honorary or mortuary shrines. Geza Kuun died in 1905, on April 10th, and was entombed at Cluj. Legend has it that, although the body of count Geza was inhumed at Cluj, his heart was buried in the cemetery of the Mintia Reformed Church, alongside other members of his family and former owners of the castle. The Mintia domain, that comprises the castle and the park, is classed as a historical monument of national and universal importance, class A.

Located in Salicea, just 15 minutes away from Cluj-Napoca, this property pays tribute to the Transylvanian traditional way of living. The thatched roof, the wooden beams that are over a hundred years old, but especially the care and dilligence with which the whole complex was built, make this traditional house a perfect home for city dwellers in search of fresh air and relaxation. The property has six rooms, spread over an area of 180 square meters, and a generous yard of 1,470 square meters, just perfect for family reunions.

The location was intended to be an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, an oasis of peace, located 5 minutes from the center of Cluj, in the Andrei Muresanu neighborhood. From the entrance we are attracted by the handcrafted wrought iron fence in a medieval style, composed of leaves and stylized organic elements that wrap around the stone dust pillars. The alleys are made of cubic granite stone dating from the interwar period that dot the courtyard. The garden with winding alleys has a lush vegetation at maturity. The base of the house is hand-carved and finished with stone dust that reminds us of mangrove roots. The building has 3 entrances, 2 in the front and one behind the house. The front door, as well as the carpentry throughout the house, is made of Siberian larch wood and stained glass. The stained glass windows that can be found throughout the house are handmade using the Tiffany technique. In the entrance hall we are greeted by the vortex-shaped ceiling. On the ground floor we find an office with an entrance directly from the outside, a dressing room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a secondary hall. The basement has a technical room, a laundry and a storage room. On the mezzanine is the fully furnished and equipped kitchen. The building grows, unfolds, like an organism, from the inside to the outside, flows and adapts. As the architect describes it as the house without corners, fluid lines that integrate perfectly into the landscape of the neighborhood. On the 1st floor there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a dressing room. 4 doors with themed stained glass windows - each room represents a season ... in the hall there is a stylized tree that holds the place of the railing consisting of 70,000 pieces of Bisazza mosaic cut, glued and matched by hand, with the fallen leaves on the marble floor. The matrimonial area consists of a bedroom painted with Venetian stucco paint, with ornaments and lighting fixtures that are plated with 24 carat gold (plinth, bed ornaments, chandeliers), a bathroom with shower, a reddish marble countertop and decorated with Platinum-plated Bisazza mosaic, toilet equipped with washing and drying function, a dressing room with balcony. Bathroom 2 is equipped with a bathtub and has a wall consisting of 2 brushed marble slabs curved in the mirror, a built-in TV in the mirror, a toilet equipped with washing and drying function. Towards the attic you climb stairs covered with marble, each step having a different shape, being processed manually. The attic is an open space composed of three distinct functional areas delimited by a central pillar decorated in Art Nouveau style which is based on a handcrafted round mosaic panel plated with 24 carat gold and which sustains the hand-painted ceiling in Art Nouveau style in pastel colors . -the central piece is a 4 meter bar, with a solid wood top, and the front part is covered with copper. - another area is the entertainment area where we find a modular sofa, a TV and an electric projection screen that descends from the ceiling. - in the third area we find a round table for 12 people that can be used both as a dining place, but also as a space for discussions. This area enjoys an amazing view over Cluj that can be admired through a huge window that follows the curvature of the roof. Also in the attic on the wall behind the bar we find a work of art made using sgraffito technique, a technique of over 200 years, in 7 layers of plaster of different shades. The shapes are fluid, represented by curved lines, stained glass, wrought iron and it transposes the viewer into a magical world full of refinement and color, the world of film and artistic creations.The attic bathroom has a unique design and is called “the bathroom with 3 questions”. It is covered with greso-granite flooring and mosaic tiles that symbolize the mechanism inside the cinema equipment. The house has 2 terraces in steps, the first terrace has a jacuzzi with a special view over Cluj.
