House Bucharest (Romania)
Modest at a first glance like a demure young lady, the mansion keeps its roof like an eye lid fixed in the ground, refusing to reveal itself. It must be courted, trodden on the brick paths and eyed on the woodwork of the porch. Inside, the piano is shyly silent but the proud stove promises roaring fire. The solid wood furniture is carefully chosen and captures the atmosphere of the late 19th century when the building was erected; the wooden pendulum keeps the measure of time but does not take it prisoner - the property enjoys all the comforts of the present - electricity, central heating (wood boiler), water, solar panels for hot water and complete infrastructure. The generous porch is the ornamental element that ennobles the building, otherwise a classic parallelepiped volume. The timber construction has a rustic yet elegant finish that the hanging plants take to another level (as does the annex that exploits a mound on the property and is fitted with lovely brick-framed double doors). Curved, brick paths lead the steps through areas of thick grass or dwarf flowers and over 30 varieties of roses in the English garden, but on the grounds there are also oaks, maples and ornamental shrubs over 150 years old; lavender is cultivated on 20 acres (of the 7.8 hectares, 1.28 ha is urban land and 4.8 ha is arable land). The orchard has peaches, nectarines, sour cherries, pears, cherries and other fruit trees such as a few wild cherries; not far away there are crops of strawberries, currants, blackberries and raspberries - the land is rich and can be exploited for farming or hunting. The manor was gifted as a hunting estate by Count Zichy Vasonckeoy Ferenc, Minister of Trade in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to his son Tivadar in 1899. Today the property is also known as Hajas Manor after the current owners, but in the title deed it is referred to as a castle. It was bought in 2010 and restored according to the original plan keeping the original carpentry but adding double glazed windows to the wooden windows. The domain is located on the road between Marghita and Săcuieni, 200 m from the main road, between the Petreu and Cristur settlements. Photo Florin Pepene

Property Bucharest (Romania)
We associate Timișoara, and the entire west of the country, with the Habsburg or Austro-Hungarian empire, that is, with the West forgetting that another empire, the Ottoman, occupied the city for 164 years from the 16th century until 1716, when Eugeniu de Savoy recaptured the city. Legend has it that an axle of his chariot was integrated into a later majestic building (it appears in city plans in 1836). In reality it seems that the shaft belonged rather to a heavy artillery piece. Its insertion in the corner of the building has significance not only in symbolic terms; the building being one of the most famous in the city and its restoration was greeted with enthusiasm by the residents. Located on the space once occupied by the Round Tower of the bastion, used as a powder room until 1756 when it was demolished, the house already had the eastern body built in 1836-1836, the one facing Dr. I.C Brătianu Square (architect Anton Schmidt) as well as on the western one, which has two floors with a facade facing the side of Țepeș Vodă Square. In the period 1863–1864, marked by famine, local good Samaritans organized a social canteen in it. The House with the Iron Axis today has the bodies thoroughly rehabilitated, restored and transformed from homes into office spaces. New access roads, attic areas and re-compartmentalization suitable for modern use were made - office hub with mixed functions: law offices, insurance companies, marketing, dental clinics and IT companies. The classicist style, with neo-Romanesque elements, gives distinction to the building even today. Class B historical monument, prestigious for its age, story, address and restoration. The house with an iron shaft is 80% rented, which positions it as an excellent investment opportunity.

House Bucharest (Romania)
Heading to Huedin from Cluj-Napoca, one steps into Călatei Land, a region with villages where there are still carved wooden gates, old houses, authentic customs; a region where the people cook old recipes, wear folk costumes and enjoy traditional dances. Mănăstireni is only 50 km away from Cluj-Napoca, in Călatei Land, a settlement probably dating back to antiquity according to the Roman vestiges embedded in the walls of the old reformed church: two carved funerary lions and a medusa (gorgon) head. Otherwise, the first documentary attestation of Mănăstireni dates from 1332. Walking along the country road, the real estate is located right on the edge of the forest: a glimpse of paradise in an undisturbed oasis of green and peace. On the fenced plot of 7,500 sqm, the buildings that make up the property respect the spirit of the place and invite to pastoral retreat. The first building is the guest house, with lime plastered walls and roses in front of the porch. The house has two living spaces with separate entrances. The interiors are furnished in a rustic style, with the roof wooden beams left uncovered and stone finishes in the kitchen area. Painted pieces of furniture and doors, pillows embroidered with traditional motifs or the iron stove are the details which preserve the specifics of the place while providing modern comfort. The old farmhouse was divided into two independent spaces, connected by an alley whose roof is being finished, but which projects the space directly into nature. The first building is structured on two levels: ground floor and attic. It is a railroad house, with windows on both sides. The exterior stone walls seem to prepare for an austere and minimalist interior. In reality, the interior design is sophisticated, ingeniously using the linear layout of the construction by creating spaces with precise destinations in complementary styles. The rustic style kitchen is complemented by the antiqued wooden frames and the wooden roof. Comfortable furniture and finishes with stone and wallpaper are the choice for the living room opposite the open kitchen . The bedroom is bright and the home's two bathrooms display an impressive design and quality. The attic occupies only a portion of the building and is set up as a bedroom. The second building in the old farmhouse is not finished, but used as an arts and crafts workshop and warehouse.The former shed, with a generous size, is used as a garage for 2 or 3 cars. The real estate is truly a glimpse of paradise, a perfect retreat into nature and access to fairy-tale lands, unspoiled by the passage of time. It can be kept in the current structure or expanded according to the vision of the future owner. photo Florin Pepene

House Ploiești (Romania)
Sometimes we refer to architectural splendors as old houses just because the present builds differently, with glass and steel, not brick, columns, and Corinthian capitals. We liken the traces of time to wrinkles and compare peeling facades to the pigmented skin of age, and so we place them in the category of bygone beauties, set aside with only a past, not a future. However, old age is no longer a barrier to an active life today, and this perspective applies to architecture as well. Buildings like the one in the pictures successfully return to their former brilliance and contribute to preserving the character of the city. Neoclassical elements signify not only stylistic sobriety but also richness and coquetry for this house that belonged to lawyer Marinelea Păunescu. Built in 1889 by Olga and Mișu Paraschivescu, the house was nationalized and initially used by a cooperative for offices, then became a grocery store, and later was bought by the lawyer. Today, it is a historical monument and can become an elegant headquarters for a company, a spectacular restaurant, or a cultural center following the example of another famous monument in Bucharest, also owned by a woman, and not just any woman, but Ploiești -born Mița Biciclista. The entrance is carefully constructed with semicolumns, wrought ironwork, decorated windows, and a slender marquee. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, and well-proportioned, with meticulously decorated ceilings and double doors, richly ornamented and wide-opening. The interior woodwork matches the decorative richness of the exterior and is a differentiating element. Located in the center of Ploiești, near the Central Halls and behind the County Museum of Natural Sciences, the property is versatile and eager to begin its new life.

House with pool and terrace Vama Veche (Romania)
White, cream, sandy - the color scheme is intentionally sun-bleached, wind-swept, and sea-salted. The vegetation is just enough, but mainly where it’s needed – we’re by the sea, here you let the sun play the role of a demiurge and make libations to it at sunset when the sparkling wine is chilled and the light is golden. Bright, with gentle contrasts and volumetry that harmoniously combines the roundness of old walls with straight corners, the villa has a timeless line reminiscent of the Greek houses on the white hills of Santorini. In the courtyard, at the entrance to the house, a pair of young trees embrace in their crowns. In front, a generous pool undulates with playful liquid light, inviting endless evenings around it. All around, we have lime, stone, and water, with few accessories but maximum effect – the nostalgia of holidays on the Greek islands finds its refuge and fulfillment here. Located just a short walk from the sea, the villa offers both sufficient privacy from the vibrant nightlife of Vama Veche and quick and easy access to the beach when the call of the sea is felt. The villa is a new construction, completed in 2024, and offers no less than 8 apartments, each with a bedroom, living room, and bathroom. The villa is thoughtfully designed from start to finish, from the exterior and interior finishes to the decorations and courtyard arrangement, with the aim of bringing a piece of Greece as close as possible, ensuring the certainty of a vacation at home, every day. The villa can instantly become a wise investment in a resort that never ages, an opportunity to engage in modern and responsible tourism on a coastline that deserves a fresh approach, or, why not, a summer vacation residence for a large family and their friends.

House Drauț (Romania)
An elegant single-level mansion that impresses with its footprint – a long blade to the left and right of a platform entrance with simple, robust and elegant pillars. The windows with natural wood shutters profiled on the white masonry also attract attention, as well as the simple neoclassical decorative elements that give a small-scale monumentality that does not need verticality. Lit by the summer sun, with a embroidery like wooden terace and refined paving, it is a little reminiscent of French colonial mansions. Perpendicular to the road, with a yard more than generous for its almost 6 hectares, the mansion lends itself to a use in tune with the requirements of today; it can become a private residence, tourist unit, cultural center, restaurant or agricultural development. The village of Drăuț, whose name has aroused the interest of researchers (one theory says that it comes from the royal falconers who in 1270 were called Drawc) is part of the Târnova commune and is located in the center of the county, 60 km from the city of Arad.

Villa Nuci (Romania)
Only 40 km away from Bucharest, in a privileged location very close to Snagov forest but also to Natura 2000 Gradistea, Nuci is a settlement formed on the old boyar and monastery domains previously offered by donation from the Muntenia Rulers. This is why the entire area is home to plenty of historical venues like Balamuci Monastery, Lecca Manor, or “Saint Nicholas” Church that dates back to 1631 , on top of plenty other old buildings and churcjes that are not listed as monuments. One of these is also Desliu Manor, built at the end of the 19th Century, a building that tells the stories of an old boyar family that had significant relevance in the political and cultural life of Romania during the 19th and early 20th century. “The Desliu’s” were a boyar family in Ţara Românească, going few generations back. The name has Turkish origins, but does it imply also the ethnic source? “ is the question that the historian Sorin Mihai Radulescu is asking in his book “ On the genealogy of Ana Aman” in which he is following a few branches of the Desliu family for a period of 150 years. Desliu Manor is a a very solid and sobre looking building, with focus on the functionality and not on the decoration of the building. The manor has a footprint of 256 sqm, witn 5 rooms and a vig hallway at the ground floor level, plus an 140 sqm basement that can be transformed by the will and the desire of the future owner into usable space. The land plot is large, offering a total of 2,740 sqm with plenty of usage options . The manor is in need of a complete renovation, but its history, the proximity to Bucharest and the large land plot that offer access to utilities make it a great opportunity for a vacation house or a commercial development.

Property Bucharest (Romania)
Ineu is no longer the desolate land of pig farmers and luckly mills that Ioan Slavici wrote about in 1881. Just as it did back then, it knows how to keep up with the times and offer what is needed. The Sava Brancovici Manor stands proud and solid in this small town, always a waypoint for travelers coming from or heading to the east or west. In Michelin Guide terms, if it’s not a destination in itself, this manor is certainly a place worth a detour. Its restoration, carried out with care and good taste, preserves the facades in pastel colors like a baroque pistachio or mint cake, skillfully drizzled with white icing in carefully chosen patterns. The interior maintains stylistic unity, offering ten welcoming rooms featuring traditional elements such as brick, charred wood, traditional washtubs and lanterns, along with painted furniture and floral fabrics. Lively flowers captured in tapestries and on cream or green cupboards bring warmth and capture the light. A spacious restaurant, a 50-seat pizzeria, and a heated terrace with 120 seats provide the necessities, while the parking area includes free charging stations for electric cars. The manor is named after Saint Sava Brancovici, canonized by the Romanian Orthodox Church in 1955 for being religiously persecuted by the Prince of Transylvania, Michael Apafi I. The Serbian-origin Orthodox priest, a resident of Ineu, opposed Calvinist proselytism and served as the Metropolitan of Transylvania from 1656 to 1680. For these reasons, he is considered a guardian of the town and the Orthodox faith. Ineu, located 57 kilometers from Arad and about 100 kilometers from Timișoara, has a population of 8,000. It is situated on the national road leading to the border and is a point of interest for tourists attracted by the generous offerings of Zarand Country – the Ineu Castle, the Narcissus Meadow, and the wineries in the Miniș vineyard.

House with terrace Bod (Romania)
The settlement known today as Bod has its first documentary evidence around 1211, the archaeological records of life found here dating back to the Neolithic. After the Cumans invaded the village for several times, in 1241 it was conquered and burned down by the Tartars, this being the reason why the Saxon gave it the name ‘’Brenndorf’’, which means ‘’the burned village’’. Being just 16 km away from the center of Brasov (10 km from the ring road), Bod is easily accessible, which makes it a favorite target for both the idea of a permanent residence and a holiday home in the proximity of Brasov. The house has a typical Saxon architecture and the current owners have been extremely careful with the renovation process, following mainly two things: on one hand to preserve its character and historical charm, and on the other hand to add all the comfort and facilities necessary for the modern man today. The property consists of 2 houses, with a total of 848 sqm of build area, both completely renovated to a high quality standard. The main house dates back to the early 19th century, as shown by the inscription ‘’1803’’ on one of the solid oak beams, and was built in the specific style of that time, with thick, massive walls and high rooms. The original elements of the house were carefully restored, such as the large solid wood cabinets or the brick arches in the basement. The basement is empty, renovated and clean and can be used as a wine cellar or a spa. The ground floor s rather the living area of the house, with a beautiful and fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a large, bright and extremely welcoming living room and a well-equipped fitness room that includes a mini-spa with sauna and a shower. The master bedroom can be found upstairs, along with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing and a large terrace that offers a dreamy view over the mountain ridges and also 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, a desk and a lounge area where you can read or relax in front of the TV. The other house is actually an apartment, where a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a bedroom can be found, all of them being fully equipped and tastefully furnished. The 31sqm basement here can also have a useful function, depending on the future destination that the house will receive. The courtyard is completely landscaped with stone, lawn and ornamental shrubs, the automatic irrigation system serving both the inner courtyard and the back garden. The courtyard is also completed with a dining area and a BBQ. Behind the property’s stone walls is a garden that can be used voluntarily by the future owners. The electrically operated gates, the surveillance system with video cameras and the super-efficient heating system complete the comfort and safety need of the modern man, while the stove and the firepit will bring everyone together around the joyos wooden fire in the winter nights. The property enjoys easy access to and from Brasov, and also the newly opened International Airport in Ghimbav is only minutes away offering a quick connection with the world.

With a patriarchal air and full of the beauty and authenticity of the villages of Arges, Valea Nandrii seems like a place to reconnect with the beauty of nature, the simple gifts of life, and the slower pace of days spent at your grandparents' house. Hidden at the foot of the green hills of Arges and stretched along the Doamnei River, the village is richly blessed with natural beauty that is still preserved here as it was in the past. Towards the end of the village, where the hills let their forest descend into the backyard, we find a small interwar gem, a splash of color that surely has a fabulous story to tell about the century that has passed over it. The villa is built on three levels: ground floor, first floor, and attic, plus a basement perfect for storing the goodies produced by its own orchard. With a built area of 425 square meters, the villa offers a generous space for a large family and their friends: five bedrooms, a large living room on the ground floor, a study that can also be converted into a bedroom, kitchen, a large covered terrace on the ground floor, and another terrace on the first floor offering an even better view of the green surroundings. The interior is rich and tasteful, well-aligned with the historical character of the house. The furniture is classic, made of solid wood, and the decorative elements, stained glass, and pointed arch doors specific to the neo-Gothic style transport us from Valea Nandrii to the chateaux of the Loire Valley. Besides the villa, which is the main feature of the property, there is a secondary building with a space of 102 square meters that can be transformed as needed into additional bedrooms, a hobby area, or a relaxation space. The gazebo is spacious enough for parties with a large number of friends and offers a beautiful view of the hills. The land is large, no less than 3,359 square meters, perfectly complementing the holiday atmosphere that envelops the property at first glance. Bordered at the back by a stream that flows not far from there into the Doamnei River, the land is full of trees, shrubs, flowers, and perennial plants, carefully tended by the current owners. Fruit trees, fir trees, old trees, a magnolia that cheers up every spring, and an exuberance of other plants fill both the front yard and the back, which gently slopes towards the stream. The house is fully functional and ready to use as it is. It can quickly become a holiday or weekend home with everything such a property needs, but it can also be transformed into a permanent residence for a family that wants to move closer to nature. Pitesti is only 16 km away, and Bucharest is 131 km away. The house can also be used for a small tourism project or to host small-scale events.

Chalet Bucharest (Romania)
There is beauty in living by the lake and the mountain – heavy thoughts clear like the fog, silence enrobes forests and humans, body and soul find space to relax and thrive. The two villas villas united under the name of Gasthof Tirol in the Semenic mountains offer just that – space, silence and beauty. The villas, one built in the Austrian style, the other Canadian, have rooms full of personality, inspired by different cultures - there are logs that build a wall and striped textiles for a classic rustic atmosphere, there is furniture painted in Tyrolean red and green but also a soothing Japanese minimalism. The Austrian villa, with a lot of wood and stone, has two levels that together offer 14 rooms, matrimonial or twin, with private bathroom and a view of the lake or the Canadian cottage. They are served by a living room that can accommodate up to 60 people and a lounge area with fireplace, bar and TV. The basement contains the SPA area with dry sauna, wet sauna, a massage area with a bed and equipment for facial treatments, clamshell showers, lounge chairs for relaxation and a Jacuzzi area. Also here are the wine cellar, the storage shed with two freezers and shelves, the bathrooms for customers, the changing room and the bathroom for employees as well as the technical room for heat with two new generation central units (purchased in 2019) with a pellet and wood system and automation with solar panels located on the roof of the building. These have recently been changed - they are now more energy and thermally efficient. Next to the technical room there is a gang where firewood and bags of pellets are stored for winter. In the technical room there is also a boiler, a storage buffer for the hot water produced by the solar panels and the technical plants and cold water storage tanks. All pumps are Villo, as is the water filtration system with its own pumping station. The Canadian chalet, with classic log walls and mountain stone, was built in 2008 and offers 8 en suite rooms on the 1st floor with views of the forest or the swimming pools. On the ground floor there is a meeting room for 40 people equipped with a video projector, flipchart, pinchart, fireplace and television, as well as a service bathroom and a two-room suite with its own bathroom for staff. The warehouse and technical room with boilers and water storage tanks as well as the thermal plant and the pallet silo are located in the basement. The water comes from its own source - a water catchment and a well. The solar panel heated pool has 34 sunbeds and 4 canopies, a lawn area, bar, service bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, changing rooms, dry sauna and clamshell rockers. Children have a play area with a slide, tree house and trampoline. The villa and cottage functioned as a guesthouse, but they can easily be converted into a private residence; sold both together and separately.
