luxury house with terrace for sale Vadu Lat, Romania

The boyar house, now a historical monument, located in a charming zone of Bucharest, was built in 1894, according to J.E. D’Alfonce de Saint Omer’s project, a famous French architect, at the request of the Costa-Foru family, family which, for several generations, gave prominent personalities to the Romanian society, in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. The house still transmits the nostalgia of past times to the passersby, through the typical French architecture, beautifully framed in the alley which invites you to a walk on the way to the Mitropolie. From 1894 to 1935, Maria Costa-Foru, the niece of the banker Christophi Zerlenti, and Constantin Gh. Costa-Foru, son of the first rector of the University of Bucharest, the minister of justice during the reign of Alexandru I. Cuza, lived there together with their children. The noble style of the house fits perfectly in the late XX century French genre of “particulier hotel”, defined by the theme of the colossal piano noble windows of the living room, accentuated by the decorative wrought iron elements. The inside of the house dates back in the 1900’s, with changes in the late 1930's. The dominant style is eclectic French on the upper floors, and the restructuring of the lower floors shows Moorish-Florentine influences. The main feature is represented by the generous and elegant space, very well natural lighted, the rooftops decorated with stucco, Italian style floors made by tiles with optical motifs and venetian battuto, door frames with carved pediments, the main staircase decked with white marble, the stair ramp decorated with wrought iron elements, which represent Maria Costa-Foru’s intials. Fireplaces ordered and made in Vienna can be found in all the large living rooms, one of them being made of black marble, as well as very valuable tile stoves, with a unique character. The heating system is completed by steel radiators, connected to the boiler. This architectural jewel, in which you still can find the air of the pre-war period, invites you to contemplate it in peace. You will certainly be impressed of its space and light, characteristics that bring it closer to the great universal architecture. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu

There’s a Romanian saying that holds each individual accountable for planting a tree, having a child and building a house during a lifetime, only the road is not strainght for everyone. Sometimes we trim trees planted by other hands, raise children with different DNA and make ours houses originally designed for other families. In the case of the house, this order of things can be a blessing in disguise - between dream and reality, between the drawing board and the final quote, syncopes, derailments and communication errors can happen so that the final result is accepted with regret, assimilated with embarrassment because it constantly reminds us the failure to translate imagination into practice. Having a ready-made house has the advantage of showing you first hand how it solve d one challenge or another, how it negotiated space and light, volume and comfort, concrete and turf. It's easy to feel its atmosphere, to qualify the vibe and evaluate what can be done to make it home moulded to your needs and expectations.

It can be easily turned into a blank canvas for you to sketch whatever works for your family. The generous windows surfaces invite light inside and guide the gaze outwards to the distant mountains.

Built by Italian stonemasons following the plans of three architects (George Sterian, H. Rick and Nicolae Ghica-Budești), the casino was erected in 1892-1894, thus being the first casino in Romania. It was quickly followed by casinos in Vatra Dornei (1898), Constanța (1910) and Sinaia (1912), all part of King Carol I's strategy to develop Romanian resorts after the model of more famous ones abroad (Slănic-Moldova was compared at the time to Karlovy Vary and Vichy, its mineral springs being awarded at international exhibitions in Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna). Although it is not an example of pure Art Nouveau, the casino in Slănic-Moldova manages to combine this dynamic and functional style with principles from other currents with surprising results. The decorative stone elements and the door and window frames come from the secular Neo-Romanian, but the towers are of Eastern religious architecture. Other elements are reminiscent of Neo-Renaissance correspondences - for example the symmetry of the composition and the painted decorative panels. The construction is arranged horizontally on UG + GF + 1F following the rules of perfect symmetry - a main building guarded by two towers connected to two other lower-rise buildings with covered corridors that function as terraces; the long row finishes with two pavilions that resume through the round roofs the idea of the main towers. Seen from a distance, the casino resembles a castle perched on a hillside, a slightly romantic, peaceful profile, with a discreet poetry enveloping it at dusk. In autumn, the forest in the distance lends it a bit of its leave’s auburne, winter dresses it all in white. However, from the front, it is obviously a building dedicated to community life - the platform with arched columns and a monumental stone staircase leaves no room for doubt, just as its location with the beautiful central park at the foot does not deny this either. After decades of listening to the sound of dice, spinning roulette and French Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus, witnessing the making of fortunes and the dissolution of marriages, the casino became a good citizen in 1948, functioning as a House of Culture, then performance hall, city library, art gallery and other public functions. The cinema functioned in the original hall with 350 seats, which today amazes us with its two colors - the white of the walls decorated with ton sur ton woodwork and the amber of the velvety chairs and curtains. The hall is still a jewel with its shell-based lodges, lacy arches and a chandelier, unfortunately not the original one, mounted on a rich ceiling decorated with a glass skylight captive in metal embroidery. Over time, the building has received two more terraces, a brasserie and a boarding house since 1960, and has undergone renovation and restoration work in the 1980s and 1994s and 1994s. Outside, street lamps guard the building in the typical Art Nouveau language - black wrought iron with gold accents and white glass bulbs like flower buds. Thanks to the spectacular architectural project and restoration works, the casino appears today vibrant, lively, dynamic, bold and not old or lethargic like, unfortunately, many other historical monuments of the time. Today, the casino is looking for its visionary owner who will exploit its tourist potential and give it back that joie de vivre that positioned it at the beginning of the 19th century as a symbol of Slănic-Moldova and beyond.

Historic house with neo-Romanian style architecture, located between the Căderea Bastiliei and Calea Dorobantilor, built in 1911 according to the plans of the engineer Athanasie Bolintineanu, to serve as his residence. Athanasie Bolintineanu was a descendant by alliance of the famous Bolintineanu family, represented by the poet and diplomat Dimitrie Bolintineanu. As chief engineer of Bucharest City Hall, Athanasie Bolintineanu coordinated the development of boulevards Elisabeta, Carol I and the construction of the Capital City Hall headquarters in front of Cișmigiu Park. He laid the foundations of the first cement factory in Romania, then called the Bolintineanu Brothers Factory. The house of engineer Bolintineanu is represented by an imposing building with ample elements of neo-Romanian architecture, concentrated both on the facades of the house and on the interior in the most important rooms, built on a plot of 1,725 square meters and arranged on a basement, semi-basement, upper ground floor and attic. Its massive presence is given especially by the ratio between full and empty, very well emphasized by the windows of the rooms on the ground floor placed on either side of the gazebo that occupies the central position. The gazebo is decorated with circular medallions, grouped in the free space left by three columns, decorated in turn with floral capitals. The covered terrace in the south-west corner of the house also has a pronounced decorative character, with wooden pillars carved with motifs inspired by folk architecture. The other sides of the house have a much more sober architecture, the only decorative elements being the stone plinth, the wooden lintel inlaid with folk motifs and the borders of the openings on the ground floor. The building benefits from four access ways, two of which are on the main facade and one each on the east and west sides. In addition to the distinctive architectural style, another important element of attraction of this property is the potential for future development by extending the building to the rear, with the possibility of it being converted into an apartment complex that combines the current historical style with the modern one. , in a privileged area of Bucharest.

The villa was built in the interwar period according to the plans of the architect Octavian Doicescu, member of the Romanian Academy, Doctor Honoris Causa of the Ion Mincu Institute of Architecture in Bucharest, known for numerous projects, such as the Romanian House Pavilion at the “New York World's Universal Exhibition Fair 1939, of the Palace of the Society of Romanian Writers, the ensemble of the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, the building of the Romanian Opera and other public and residential projects in Bucharest and in the country. The Mântuleasa area came into being during the Brâncovenilor period outside the city and would develop around the church of the same name, being incorporated into the hearth of the city in 1752. Personalities such as Mihai Eminescu, Mircea Eliade, Petre Țuțea, Panait Istrati or Mircea Vulcănescu, lived and created in the Parisian-scented houses of the famous slum. Built at the end of 1936, with a layout on five levels, respectively Bs2+Bs1+Gf+1F+A, made of brick on reinforced concrete frames and beams, the house in Mântuleasa was designed for practical, generous spaces that benefit from full of natural light. There are 12 rooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a terrace on the ground floor, two balconies on the first floor, a very high cellar in the second basement and a garage in the first basement. It has a free yard of approximately 350 square meters with green spaces and the possibility of parking for at least 2 cars. Characterized by a minimalist and modernist charm at the same time, solid from a constructive point of view, the villa can have multiple future destinations, both as a chic residence that preserves and carries forward with dignity the fragrance of the interwar period, as well as space for business, restaurant , law firm, notary, company headquarters.

Residence is an understatement. Rather, it is about a large-scale residential concept, surrounded by positive energy, built in the heart of Codril Vlăsiei, a short distance from the future A0 - ring highway, Henri Coandă International Airport and Băneasa Shopping City. Hidden from the hectic life and pollution of the city, in an area where you can hear the chirping of wild birds from the window, this unique property has a plot of 14,000 square meters, a privilege that few residential properties enjoy in the immediate vicinity of the Capital. Generous rooms, solid wood floors, stained glass windows, woodwork and classic, timeless finishes are just a few of the attributes of the home that looks like something out of a modern fairy tale. The indoor pool and fireplace welcome frosty days, and the seemingly endless garden, which together with the tree-lined lake and relaxing walks through the private forest, emphasize the true definition of luxury. The property has photovoltaic panels with a power of 17 kw and a prosumer function, an internal elevator and a covered garage for 3 cars. It is a rare purchase opportunity with a beautiful story behind it, where the owner over time joined several parcels of land, including a piece of oak forest, which is now an integral part of the property. In addition to practical compartmentalization and tasteful finishes, the house can be lived in by two families by separating the areas. Being at the first sale since the construction, the owner confesses that it is hard to part with it, sharing the following story: Many times when I was preparing for the launch of the project I asked myself, what should my house look like? I browsed dozens of sites with famous projects, photos of famous houses, medieval villas and historical monuments. Neither seemed to be the expression of my expectation. I always told myself that I wanted it to reflect the situation of my childhood home, where no one could look in unless invited but, on the other hand, it had its back to the garden and the forest. And at the same time, to have a wide opening to the forest, to be separate but also connected to a service area. Well, if they could let the forest penetrate inside, that would be even better. And if I can get the vegetation to spread, symbolically, into the house, it would be wonderful to be able to light a fire that doesn't screen my view of the garden and the oak trees. From the beginning, I imagined a house with large windows, the size of a football goal, with wide doors, with openings through which nature and the forest could pass and embrace it from all sides. When I first stepped into the clearing with waist-deep grass, surrounded by tall oaks, I said to myself: This is the place for my house! Photo: Dan Călin

The town of Şomcuta Mare is located in the south-western part of Maramureș County, connected to the European road E58, Baia Mare - Cluj Napoca, at a distance of 25 km from Baia Mare. The popular tradition says that the name of Șomcuta Mare springs from the cornel shrubs that were found in abundance in these places, that once gave the name of the forest near Văleni village – Corneasa. Regarding this forest, it is said that it stretched over the borders of Şomcuta Mare and that, in the middle of it, there used to be a fountain, around which the community developed. From the first history records, it is shown that Șomcuta Mare had a predominantly Romanian population.

Currently, the building is connected to all utilities and services: gas, electricity, water supply and drainage. A few years ago, more precisely in 2003, the building had its roof and windows replaced, thus carrying out an important renovation process. Arranged on the following floor system: lower ground + ground floor + first floor + attic, this building provides that investment that you have always been looking for: its positioning and layout represent potential for various developments. It can bring many further exciting opportunities, starting from the industrial production ones to commercial ones. The building can function efficiently as a hotel, restaurant, kindergarten, school or nursing home. It accommodates 37 rooms and 5 bathrooms, with a pragmatic planning. Photo: Florin Pepene

Dacia Boulevard was the last boulevard designed before the First World War, during the mayor Vintilă Brătianu. The new boulevard, as it was originally called, was designed to create an important connection between Gara de Nord and Gara Obor. Being a designed boulevard, it had to make its way through the old districts of Bucharest, around the current Spanish Market Square, to the confluence with Mihai Eminescu Street and Calea Moșilor. Mihai Eminescu Street, called Romană Street until 1948, is a historic street in Bucharest that connected the Herăstrăului Street, the current Calea Dorobanţilor, with the Târgului de Afară Bridge, today Calea Moșilor. A short distance from the confluence of Dacia Boulevard with Mihai Eminescu Street, in the former Silvestru slum, this historic four-level villa with rooms over 3.5 m high, arranged on Bs + Gf + 1F + A, was founded at the beginning of the 20th century, made in a neoclassical style, typical of the beginning of the century, at the command of General Coandă, former prime minister in the interwar period. The house integrates very well in the architectural style of the area, next to the twin house in the immediate vicinity. Being built on the corner, it has the advantage of a panoramic opening to two streets. The building escaped nationalization, remaining in the family by succession, this advantage helping it to keep all the original architectural details. Then, in 2010, it underwent an extensive consolidation and restoration action, on which occasion it benefited from increased attention to the strengthening of the foundation, but also to a series of very practical finishes and equipment with quality materials. In addition to the impeccable restoration of parquet, solid wood joinery, wooden doors with glass windows, it now also benefits from a central heating system with gas boiler and fan coils in each room, chiller unit for air conditioning and fan coils in each room, chandeliers and vintage lighting lamps, time-specific switches for lighting fixtures. In addition, at the time of the renovation, investment was made in the construction of a tower in the attic, which became an important attraction of the house. He also received a glass art staircase with wrought iron floral elements, which provides access to the upper levels, designed and executed by the famous plastic designer Cornelia Moldoveanu. The exterior, thermally rehabilitated by complete cladding with Austro-therm rigid terrestrial system, is symmetrically decorated with friezes and laurel window frames without an exaggerated load. The predominant floral tones continue in the interior starting with the double entrance door, restored, glazed with flowers, with the marble floor decorated with floral elements framed by the line of life, above which is a skylight with floral stained glass and a Viennese ceramic stove white located in the living room. This house welcomes you inside with an enviable positive energy, offering the pleasure of going through a setting designed to fascinate you from the first step. It may have multiple destinations in the future, such as residence, company headquarters, notary or law firm. The villa is also available for rent at the price of 4,000 euros/month.

We don't think there was a better place for this fairy tale property than Covasna, the place with virgin forests untouched by man for over 300 years. It is therefore logical that the property is surrounded by dense forest and that wood is permanently present inside as well, creating a warm, calm and inviting atmosphere. Hatod Manor is designed to receive 14 guests, being set up as a chic guesthouse. The main building has a special architecture, the slanting beams creating a fairytale atmosphere. With two communicating kitchens, two bathrooms, an office and a living room with a fireplace, the ground floor is a perfectly arranged common space. The mansion has four double and two triple rooms – bright, quiet spaces with modern bathrooms and solid wood furniture; heavy drapes keep the cold, or frost, away and invite relaxation. A wood-burning sauna, a Praid salt barrrel-- style bath, a jacuzzi and a separate living room for movies and games were also created for well-being. Children enjoy an area specially designed for them, with an outdoor playground. For parties there is a terrace, barbecue and a professional sound system, while for exploring the area the mansion provides bicycles and an ATV. The stone-walled cellar is a good home for the owner's wine collection. Illuminated green spaces and wooden outbuildings contribute to the fairytale atmosphere. The town of Ozunca Bai is located only 60 km from Brașov and 246 km to Bucharest. Those interested in exploring the area will be overwhelmed by the countless options – neo-baroque castles and fortified churches, water mills, stables, adventure parks, wildlife observatories (ostriches and bears), bike trails, horse riding and fishing and of course, mineral waters, the skunks and traditional baths.

We invite you to a green field, forgotten by the world, apparently outside of civilization and where the sun rises and sets unhindered by concrete or asphalt. The expanse of almost five hectares of land in this area means calm and solitude - the silent flat immovable plain and the forest that borders it are the guarantor. Entering the house, the green leaves the stage and wood enters - the entire lodge of over a thousand square meters is made of wood and is divided into truly generous day and night spaces. The ground floor means a high living room, a spacious kitchen and bedrooms, each with its own dressing room and bathroom. The upper floor has been reserved for a large gym and lounge area. Wood up, wood down, wood upright, horizontal, trunk, log, bar, plank - in any representation, whole or sliced, straight or gnarled, the wood is warm, silent, patient and lively and acts as a building material, decoration, binder between the outside and inside. A stylized hut exploits a hoof making it a native hobbit house, with gnarled trunks guarding the entrance (the windows are the bottoms of barrels ingeniously rotated on an axis). With a bedroom and a bathroom (approx. 40 sqm), the small building assumes the role of a guest room. A playground with a climbing wall, birds and swings provide activities for the little ones, along with the pond and the cattle on the property. The house and the outbuildings (garage, photovoltaic panels), the greenhouses and the vegetable garden, the fruit trees, the glistening water that made its way through the willows, the grass, the sheep stable and the bird area are guarantees of the self-sufficiency of the property. As additional security measures are the protective trench fence and thorny vegetation, the observation posts, the bunker as a shelter in case of calamity and the escape route. The location of the property 30 minutes from Bucharest, in Grădiștea (northeast of Ilfov County) makes it extremely attractive as a weekend refuge, a place of return to nature and peace.

We offer you an impressive mountain villa, determined to withstand fairytale winters and cool summers. The solid, stone-clad ground floor provides a strong foundation as well as space for technical rooms, storage and garage. The floors overlap elegantly and lightly over this level, preferring wood as a protective and decorative material. The generous terrace offers a splendid view of the mountains, and the brick oven promises hearty meals. The picturesque shrubs on the property and the perfectly manicured lawn make a good impression but cannot compete with the forest that starts right behind the house. The interior is classically furnished, with cognac-colored wood pieces, warm and restful; the fireplace tames the winter, as does the well-stocked bar in the living room. The fully furnished and equipped kitchen welcomes many guests to the table, and the villa is also generous in terms of sleeping area, having eight bedrooms. The villa is located in Cumpătu, a privileged neighborhood in Sinaia, the charming royal resort that offers so many options for spending free time.

In a Bucharest of high hopes, fueled by the end of the First World War, Dr. Ion Moscu was constructing his house, on a land bought from the Catargi family. Doctor Ion Moscu was a leading personality of the time, being the first Romanian doctor trained in Paris, doctor of the Patriarch of Romania and of the Royal House. The architectural plans of his house were made by the famous architect Gh. Simotta, who sketched a splendid Neo-Romanian style building. Gheorghe Simotta (1891-1979) was born into a family of Aromanians from the mountains of Macedonia and took refuge with his family in Romania after graduating high school. He attended the Superior School of Architecture under the guidance of masters Petre Antonescu and Ermil Pangratti. His more than 120 projects are from the inter-war period and are mostly found in Bucharest: the Patriarchal Residence, Darvari Hermitage, Gomoiu Hospital and numerous private villas, collective dwellings and funerary monuments in Bellu cemetery. His early style is based on Neo-Romanian elements, to which are gradually added modernist, Art Deco, Balkan resonances or influences of Byzantine decorative art. The restrictions imposed by the communist regime made him abandon his design activity and serve for 30 years as a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Bucharest. After a meticulous rehabilitation, modernization and restoration project that lasted about three years, Moscu's building in the heart of the Capital became a veritable boutique hotel. The downtown location and architectural value imposed the concept of boutique hotel. Currently, it has ten rooms with generous surfaces (25-40 sqm) and a 90 sqm apartment, some of them equipped with balcony or loggia. Each room is furnished differently, according to the history and architecture of the building. The furniture in classic style is complemented by pieces with styles from different eras: Ludovic XV, Art Nouveau, Biedermeier or Empire. For the finishing of the precious interiors, solid wood, Versailles parquet and marble were used. Moscu's building represents the opportunity to own an architectural jewel in the center of Little Paris, signed by a famous architect, who already functions successfully as a luxury hotel, with loyal guests and a specialized team, well trained to offer an impeccable service for notable clients.
