The French Street connects Piata Unirii with Calea Victoriei; it appears in documents since 1649 when it was known as Curții Street; over time the name varies - one part of it was Podul cel Mare din Curtea Veche (1763), Podul Curtea Veche (1804) and Uliţa Curții Vechi (1854), the other - Uliţa cea Domnească in 1690 or Işlicarilor & Boiangiilor Street in 1804. Under Constantin Brâncoveanu the street becomes as long as we know it today. The French name comes from the time when the French consul resided on it. The street was also called Carol until 1947 and then 30th December. After the 1989 revolution, it became Iuliu Maniu and since 2007, when a boulevard was named after the politician, it has become French Street again. It is one of the first lit and paved streets in the city, but also the one that entered history as the place where the great fire of 1847 started, when over 2000 buildings disappeared; the fire broke out thanks to the son of a stolnic (local clerk) who played by shooting his father's gun into the thatched attic. On this historic street, at no. 58, in 1938, Schrems Broderie, a weaver, and Karmann I – Carol, a dentist, were operating (it seems that Lev Tolstoi lived at no. 12 in 1854 when accompanying the Russian troops to Wallachia). Today, at no. 58, there is an elegant building with tall glass sheets and wrought iron balustrades that rhythmically punctuate the facade; denticles, short half-columns and other vegetal and geometric elements complete it. The building has two commercial spaces on the ground floor and 14 apartments on the upper floors, with areas between 38-113 sqm. The attic (384 sqm) and the cellar (211 sqm) generously complement the surfaces. Access is allowed by four different stairs leading to the inner courtyard. Only one apartment is currently rented, the building being in need of repair and renovation works. The original corner stoves, paneling on the ceilings and double doors with glass windows are the only ones still fighting the fading today, stubbornly preserving the spirit of past eras. However, the potential is huge considering the positioning one minute away from the Manuc Inn; the building can become a boutique/apart-hotel or apartments for rent/resale, after consolidation.

Located at the crossroads of the road where, in the old days, the Bucharest-Craiova stagecoach passed, Blejesti is an ancient settlement, the area being continuously inhabited since the times of the Dacians. The village of today is situated on a part of the former Beloaica estate of Elena Mavrocordat, a domain that, in its time, spanned more than 14,000 hectares. The ancient history of the area is reflected in the architectural remnants preserved to this day, and among these, the Voinea Mansion is one of the most remarkable. The mansion was the country residence of Dumitru Voinea in the former Vlaşca County. The building, with relatively large dimensions, was constructed in 1890. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it became a common practice for wealthy families across the country to build town houses in the eclectic – neo-Romanian style in the localities where they owned estates. Originally, the mansion belonged to the property held by the brothers Constantin and Grigore P. Olănescu in Blejesti and was later acquired by Dumitru Voinea, an industrialist who owned two factories in Bucharest and Brașov by the end of the first quarter of the last century. The mansion, resembling a villa with relatively large dimensions, with a ground floor and an upper floor, has its main entrance on the northern side, at the base of a hexagonal tower with asymmetric sides. The entrance, with a semicircular arch and two columns, is flanked on either side by two openings also with semicircular arches, all marked by a cornice that follows the same shape. The rhythmic pattern of the northern façade is created by the light openings, three on each level, framed with decorative geometric elements made of straight, bent, and curved lines, which are also found on the right side of the southern façade. On the southern side, there is a tower with a gazebo, which recalls the neo-Romanian style, and access was either through a massive staircase placed on the left side, or directly from the upper floor, while in the central area there was an entrance leading down to the cellar. The lateral staircase is protected by a sheet metal canopy, which is part of the roof, supported by a double wooden console. Currently, the openings on the three sides of the gazebo, as well as the exterior access path, are closed with windows fixed in metal frames. This component of the building served as a viewpoint overlooking the garden surrounding the mansion and the valley of the Glavacioc River, as well as the nearby forest. The upper part of the building is outlined by a profiled cornice, and the construction is topped by a high, four-sided roof made of sheet metal. The mansion has a built area of 604 square meters and sits on a 3-hectare plot of land, which also houses a series of annexes, many of which were added later, after nationalization. After the property passed into state ownership, the mansion served various purposes, the last of which was as the headquarters of the former Blejești Agricultural Cooperative (IAS). In the former annexes, some recently renovated and others still being renovated, a small farm is currently operating. The mansion is classified as a historic monument of class B, it is in relatively good preservation, and it holds immense potential to be transformed into an exceptional private residence or, why not, it could be used for a development in the fields of tourism, events, or medical care.

On the edge of the city of Arad, on the banks of the Mures, 5 minutes from the city center, the green is at home; thousands of trees spread billions of leaves towards the sun and spread shade and coolness around. In one of the highest areas, close to the new bridge over Mures, there are two houses and a series of plots where plants and flowers are produced for the community, all located on a private land of approximately 2 hectares. The domain for sale consists of two villas, a garage and a series of greenhouses with a capacity of approximately 70,000 flowers, the villas being modern constructions, fully equipped and equipped, they truly reveal their elegance once you arrive in the lush garden that surrounds the villas - the soft textiles in sand colors announce the color of the whole house, and the fireplace, the Viennese piano, the warm shades of wood and sand complete the atmosphere of a space designed to relax without getting tired. The interior of the ground floor exploits the level difference in an intelligent way, obtaining a decorative and functional step between the open kitchen and the living room. With a fireplace and soft colors, the living room is comfortable but with a certain alert feeling - here time does not flow, does not pass but is lived, enjoyed. The design project is made and implemented; the furniture and materials are premium, as are the electronic equipment. The house is perfectly functional, the heating is done through the floor throughout the house (gas central), it has air conditioning, a vacuum cleaner in the walls, an indoor pool and all the facilities to feel like you are in a lush oasis. In addition to the two villas located on an area of ​​approximately 3,500 square meters, there are also 10 greenhouses where various plants and flowers are grown, located on a land of approximately 15,500 square meters. Upon purchase, this small family business can be continued or on the existing land there is the possibility of realizing a real estate development project, being already a PUZ that regulates the subdivision of the land to build houses.

In Alba Iulia, a historical citadel spectacularly reborn as a cultural-touristic center, a modern villa has recently risen on a gentle hill, with a proud exterior, right corners and clearly defined volumes. The construction exploits the level difference and looks down into the valley through large glazed surfaces and generous terraces. The view is spectacular and goes far into the sky - the valley downhill is not aggressively populated, the few buildings are high and the lands are parceled out in an organized, harmonious manner. The austere elegance of the facade fits in with the perfect terrace lawn and quality metallic stone paving. The elegant, durable and high-quality materials used are still rare in the local landscape - Equitone fiber cement on the perspective facade, natural Nordic pine wood, exposed brick and decorative Sto. Inside, the spaces are large, bright and minimalistic furnished to let air, light and good thoughts circulate; the fireplace promises warmth and the magic of cheerfully crackling wood. The space is well partitioned, with functional rooms; the kitchen is furnished and equipped, and the bathrooms are impeccable, elegant, with natural light and discreet colors. The interior staircase attracts the eye, being both a practical and a decorative element in the economy of the hall. There is space for a library in the attic, and a cinema in the basement. What really makes the difference here is the technology. The villa is a perfect example of a smart home – rainwater is collected for irrigation, there are video cameras, presence sensors and anti-burglary systems. Access, temperature, humidity and lighting are controlled; the curtains are motorized and many areas in the house are independently soundproofed. In addition, an observer area is set up on the roof that records the climatic indicators and transmits them to automatically decide the irrigation or the movement of the window blinds. The bathrooms have flood sensors that decide, when necessary, to shut off the water supply to the entire system and the system sends notifications to the owner regarding the events that occurred in the absence.

In Comarnic, green is at home; thousands of trees stretch billions of leaves towards the sun and spread shade and coolness around. In one of the high areas, on a tongue of land drowned in greenery, there are two identical houses; the twin sister is positioned at the back, not at all invasive in terms of privacy. The villa for sale, a modern and discreet construction at first impression, reveals its true elegance only from the glass-enclosed terrace – soft textiles in sand colors announce the chromatics of the entire house, and the exposed brick, the fireplace, the shades of cement gray and the dark metal joinery complete the atmosphere of a space designed to relax without being boring. In addition, being equipped with the necessary for an al fresco dinner, the panorama is guaranteed to be admired in the evening, when the forest darkens in the colors of twilight. The interior of the ground floor (kitchen, dining room, living room, one bedroom, bathroom and terrace) exploits the difference in level in an intelligent way, obtaining a decorative and functional step between the open kitchen and the living room. With a fireplace and soft colors, the living room is comfortable but with a certain alert feeling - here time does not flow, does not pass but is lived, enjoyed. The same goes for the first floor, where there are three bedrooms carefully decorated, with soothing shades; a luxury hotel atmosphere prevails with rounded asperities and discreet, stylish, chromatically articulated bathrooms. The master bedroom has a bathroom, sauna and a small terrace with a view. The design project is made and implemented by Simetrica Design; the furniture and materials are premium, as are the electronic equipment. The house is perfectly functional, the heating is done through the floor throughout the house (gas central heating). It has air conditioning and all the facilities, plus a person from the area who takes care of daily maintenance (cleaning, mowing the lawn, changing bedding, washing, etc.) which makes it very attractive as an investment for the purpose of tourist exploitation (AirBnB). Comarnic, for many just a town on the way to the mountains, has recently become extremely attractive for those looking for a clean place not far from Bucharest. It entices with hot bread and bagels on the main street, but the real treasures are hidden - the Lespezi hermitage, a hermitage of monks from 1661 and painted by Parvu Mutu the Painter; the Saint Nicholas church is newer, only from 1905, but it boasts a magnificent icon donated by Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu and Martha Bibescu. The Posada Hunting Museum with its exhibits - animals, weapons, hunting trophies. The spectacular Doftana Valley is also just a stone's throw away, and the more popular mountain resorts are not much further away either. Out of a complex with four plots, the property owns three plots, two are available for construction.

Located on a sunny street, with buildings sheltered by trees that promise tranquility, the property is currently used as a tourist unit; the small and charming 4-star boutique villa is highly appreciated by tourists, as evidenced by its ratings on renowned review platforms. However, the features valued by visitors also recommend it for conversion into a company headquarters, an embassy/consulate, or a private residence – the 10 rooms providing ample space for a large family with hobbies and many friends. Situated a short distance from the Bega River, the Roses Park, and the Cathedral Park, the building enjoys an excellent location, offering quick access to both the historic center of Timișoara and the airport, which is only 12 km away.

We do not know if the Thracians, Greeks and Romans crossed the Danube Delta here; the Sulina water channel then had more meanders than now, perhaps even a low flow. The Byzantines called it Salina, the Italian cartographers placed it on their maps since the 14th-15th centuries, then the Turks often used this water way, which became the most easily navigable in the era. In 1800, Romanians, Turks, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Russians and Italians lived together and created the character of the area, which inspired Jean Bart, the founder of Romanian maritime and fluvial literature, to call his city - and his famous novel - Europolis (he would have called it Cosmopolis but the term had already been used). The small harbor of that time gave way today to a collective imagination splendidly exploited by this property, as this house that we propose may become a great refuge in the nature for family and friends. Completely renovated in 2017, the building has 17 rooms with en suite bathrooms, 4 terraces and common and utility spaces on 3 levels. It is the closest property to the UNESCO protected area in Sulina, with 40 km of virgin beach between the new beach (renovated and impeccably landscaped in 2017) and the city center. The vivid, overflowing and sweeping green outside finds its counterpart in calm, bright and spacious interiors. The design is vaguely rustic and preserves spaces where light gives way to volumes, colors, textures. The house offers time on the edge of the Delta but also curious urban histories such as that of the old lighthouse where Jean Bart had his office or the maritime cemetery, unique in Europe and where both Christians, Muslims and Jews spend their eternity. On the canals, the trembling of the water moved by the boats among the reeds produces fluttering of wings, murmur and short flights inviting tourists to mysterious walks.

Bordered by the river and the forest, the property is perfectly insulated from the fertile lands of the area - a belt of trees jealously embraces the land and protects it from prying eyes. Seen from above, by the birds of the sky, the property appears as a small cheerful area on with a cute little house on it. The ribbon of chess-like tiles meanders through the bodies of houses and guides the gaze to the perfectly mowed lawn that borders it. The main body, called the chalet, has a hochoparter which is reached by a wooden staircase that continues as a balcony surrounding the building on one side. On the ground floor there is the kitchen; upstairs and in the attic there are three bedrooms; the matrimonial one, generous and bright, enjoys a fireplace in the soothing colors of the sand. The rooms have ceilings entirely covered with wood or are crossed by decorative beams that integrate the space in nature. Another body houses a lounge equipped with sofas, a table for 12 people, a fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom, thus being the hospitable host for elegant events. In addition to the recreational options, there is a 60 sqm indoor swimming pool, heated by air and water pumps. Also here there are a sauna, bathrooms and locker room, a technical room and, upstairs, a guest bedroom with bathroom. Heating is done with heat pumps; the water comes from a well drilled at 40m depth with a flow rate of 4 m3 / h, which practically offers the possibility of bottling water if so desired. The 9000sqm plot allowed the arrangement of a 25x10 m pond between sandstone edges, an organic vegetable greenhouse and a playground with a swing complex and other challenges for the little ones. Geoagiu de Sus is a quiet village with a once episcopal church, founded by a lord of Wallachia with fiefs in southern Transylvania - Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab or Radu de la Afumați, as historian Nicolae Iorga believes. Today, the 18th century mural painting shows post-Brâncovenesc features. Cluj Airport is about 60 km away, which provides quick and easy access while Alba Iulia is only 23 km away and brings a wealth of shopping options, restaurants and cultural activities. photo Florin Pepene

Probably the most important private residence in Arad (if we exclude the palaces), Neuman House was the property of the most prestigious family in the history of the city. After the communists seized it, it became the Guest House of Arad county and was used as a protocol residence by the Ceaușescu family, including for official meetings between heads of state. Retroceded to the heirs in the 2000s, the imposing construction, today private property, is now ready to add new pages to its rich history. The Neuman House situated on Horia street is an architectural jewel that impressed over time many businessmen, artists or heads of state. The house discloses its secrets only for those who have the chance to cross its threshold: the street façade, with balanced proportions and mild decorative elements, does not offer any clue of the architectural exuberance that we find beyond the wooden gate that opens the way into the inner courtyard. Once inside, one understands the large dimensions of the U-shaped building, with the main façade marked by a grand neoclassical entrance, with a fronton and four columns. The interior retains the pomp of the last century: brightly colored stained glass windows, elaborately painted, wood carvings, wire stuccoes, fireplaces and many other decorative elements. The inscription on the façade indicates the years of the construction, 1925-1926. Arad benefited enormously from the rise and consolidation of the Neuman empire, the industrialist family being the largest tax payers for local budgets. Alfred's son, Francisc, was born in Arad in 1910. In 1935 his brother, Eduard, who ran the Yeast and Alcohol Factory, emigrated to Cuba, so Francisc took over all the family's business, at the age of only 25. The Baron increased the family's wealth, but was also the helpless witness of its loss, in 1948, during nationalization. He left to Switzerland without any money, from there to Salzburg and afterwards, to the USA. All the members of the family showed a real social involvement and solidarity, providing support through their charitable foundations. They showed increased care for their employees and contributed to improving the lives of the inhabitants. The Neuman family financially supported the construction of the imposing Cultural Palace inaugurated in 1913 and other palaces, exquisite jewels of the center of Arad. Today, their name is a true legend, not only in Arad, but throughout the entire Western part of the country. The Neuman House from Horia street fully reflects the grandeur of the famous family, being built with elements of neoclassical architecture and a ground floor rich in decorations, extremely exuberant, preserving today many of the original elements. The current owner has carried out a series of renovation and consolidation works (deepening and basement insulation, attic elevation, repairing the façade etc.). The house benefits from a project of complete remodeling and transformation of the building into a hotel with 23 rooms / 4 apartments / restaurant and SPA. The location of the building is ideal for a hotel - in the center of Arad, opposite the Szantay Palace. Additionally, the generous indoor courtyard can be converted into a summer garden.

Somewhere on the edge of the forest, with the Bistrita River flowing in front, a private and quiet street leads to a secluded property where the perfectly manicured greenery induces a feeling of well-being; the impression it leaves is bright, neat, with clean lines, a strong aspirational component and a vague Mediterranean air perhaps given by the vegetation or the whiteness of the walls under the roof tile that falls heavily on the building. A silver fir tree punctuates the crowded green garden; the walkways take up in stone the idea of the curve found on the property in other areas too - the corrugated roof, the cut of the glass in the living room, etc. The interior is comfortable, the atmosphere warm, restful and ready to provide comfort for a large number of people - the common areas such as the open kitchen’s island and the living room are meant to gather around the table an extended family. The bathrooms attract attention with a modern design in which the stand alone bathtub is the piece of resistance. The layout of the space follows the civilized standard - in the basement the technical room - boilers, heating system and pool installations - but also the recreation room and wine cellar, plus a light courtyard with access to the pool. The ground floor allows parking for two cars in the garage and from there access to the living room with its fireplace, the dining area and the open kitchen (a second, closed kitchen and an ironing room are nearby). Also on this level are the guest bedroom with bathroom, the office and a vestibule. In the attic, under the skylight, there are 3 bedrooms with a bathroom each. In total, over 730 sqm of usable area finished to the highest standards. photo Florin Pepene

One of the beauties of Little Paris, built in the interwar period, in an era with magical resonances about well-being and happiness, was a father's wedding gift for his daughter. A house built with a lot of love, attention to detail and respect for beauty came to life in the former Mântuleasa slum, a short distance from Izvorul Rece Park and Carol I Boulevard. Mântuleasa slum was founded during the Brâncoveni period outside the city and was to develop around the church of the same name, being incorporated in 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 houses with Parisian perfume in the famous slum. Built at the end of 1927, with a four-level layout, the house was designed for practical, generous spaces that would fully benefit from natural light through tall windows. The Neoclassical style with harmonized elements predominates on the outside and continues elegantly on the inside, with floral friezes on the walls and lacy scaffolding on the ceilings. The current owner, a lover of beauty, took care for three years of total consolidation and restoration, with the preservation of all the original elements, a process by which this architectural jewel was reborn and became more than just a living space. The structure was uncovered and consolidated, the sanitary and electrical installations were changed, the roof was changed and equipped with double glazed windows with laminated wood frames, operated by remote control, the interior doors and windows were made of laminated wood, the bathroom and kitchen floors they were made of painted cement, the other rooms have oak parquet, split air conditioners were installed, two fireplaces were added, one on the ground floor and the other on wood in the attic. It also has a unit for monitoring and coordinating internet connections, telephone, audio sound, fire alarm and video surveillance. Once the wrought iron gate opens and you step inside, an intimate and chic courtyard is revealed to you, decorated with roses and hydrangeas, cool in summer and illuminated with spotlights at night. Approximately 3 cars can be parked in the yard.

If there was ever meant to be a corner of paradise in Romania, then nature, the best of the region’s traditions and the refined taste of skilled designers joined hands in the happiest of ways to create at Botiza one of the most beautiful retreats that exist today in Romania. On the green hills of Maramureș, preserved here as it once was, a family deeply in love with these places set out to create a story that would really stand out, taking all that tradition, the old Maramureș houses, and the highly skilled wood craftsmen of the region have to offer, and adding inside all the comfort and warmth that the highest standards could demand. Thus today, over no less than 94 hectares of rolling hills, we find an estate that offers a mix of authenticity and modernity, of ancestral life and the comforts of today, but above all, a blend of inner peace, awe at the grandeur of nature, and gratitude for everything these places have to offer. The living space offers no less than 700 square meters of built-up area, divided into four houses and a barn, all traditional, specific to the area, but fully and beautifully restored, renovated, and then finished, furnished, and equipped to a very high standard of quality. All the houses are designed to be self-sufficient, with their own kitchen, living area, and bedrooms, and each one of them offers unique interiors where designer furniture pieces from all over the world blend with traditional decorative items. The uniqueness and splendor of this living concept have also received international recognition, as this project has already featured in several top international lifestyle and design publications. And because we are in Maramureș, the estate also brings with it samples of life as it has always been here, but this too is mixed with foreign elements , as on the green hills you will find several dozen Highland cows and several dozen French Alpine goats, permanent residents and providers of local delicacies, as well as four horses specially trained for riding, which delight visitors and friends of the estate. Words are few and too poor to capture the beauty of the places and the warmth offered by the living spaces as they were envisioned. However, a cool morning with a warm coffee on the porch, where you can see the sun rising above the forests, an evening on the terrace, where the colors of the sunset move from the sky into a glass of chardonnay, or winter evenings where the play and sound of the fire bring back memories of childhood holidays at grandparents' homes, are instances that can be experienced here every single day.
