luxury houses for sale Romania (page 5)

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

The road climbs the hill on a paved alley, flanked by conifers and acacias on the left and right. The placement of the building on a high plateau provides a wide, generous, unrestricted view of the valley. In the center, surrounded by trees, a charming little house appears, almost lost in a forest, like a modern iteration of Hansel and Gretel's story in butter, caramel, and chocolate colors. Traditional materials specific to the area - stone, brick, and tile - integrate it into the surroundings and protect it from the weather. The basement is dedicated to functional spaces - a garage for two cars, a laundry room, and a technical room. A generous main floor offers a fireplace in the lounge area and a separate dining room, along with a modern, furnished and equipped kitchen, an office, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a second kitchen that can eventually be converted into another room, as needed. Here we also have a huge terrace, where there is a grill and a stove to cover all culinary needs, as well as a balcony that surrounds the living room to provide broad access to the beautiful view and the fresh air of the area. The partially superimposed upper floor, open and airy thanks to the balcony-hall, provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each bedroom having its own balcony from which you can freely admire the superb surroundings. The house is designed, arranged, and maintained to offer all the comfort and facilities of a permanent residence or a vacation home, close enough to Bucharest for easy access but still in an area with clean air, privacy, plenty of greenery, and a view that recharges the soul. The pool, waterfall, fairytale view, beautifully landscaped mature garden are just a few of the elements that make this property one that can quickly become the family's favorite for short vacations, weekends, or even as a permanent residence.

Near the center of Oradea, a 3-star guesthouse awaits its new owners - the villa has four double rooms, equipped with their own bathrooms, professional air conditioning and classic, solid wood furniture, offering the comforting air of home away from home. The spaces are generous and bright, furnished with taste and care, the attention to details being seen everywhere. The generous living room and a large table are ready to welcome guests, just like in the living room at home, and the relaxation area is complete with a bar and comfortable armchairs. Warm and simple, with an understated elegance, the interior helps the tourist find his or her way effortlessly. The villa can also be used for business meetings and workshops, the living room having a capacity of 20 people and being pre-equipped with cable and satellite TV, Netflix, free Wi-fi and video projector. The kitchen is located on the first level of the property and is fully equipped, care for the comfort of the guest being also observed in the compartmentalization of the storage cupboards for each room. The reception, a mini-gym fully equipped with professional equipment, as well as administrative and technical spaces can be found on the mezzanine level. The property has a terrace, indoor private parking, electronic access system via bluetooth, both within the premises of the unit and individually for each room, surveillance, alarm and monitoring systems, as well as an external 380V outlet for charging electric vehicles. Oradea, the city of wonderfully renovated pastel buildings, enjoys a new life today, being extremely attractive from a tourist point of view - the Oradea Citadel, the Vulturul Negru Palace, a superb example of a Secession-style building, and the Nymphaea aquapark are just a few of the more famous tourist attractions. That is why, investing in a property that works as a business rated with a score of 9.7 on Booking.com, can be a wise decision.

Any old edifice properly restored brings joy and fulfillment, but the satisfaction is even greater when the building in question keeps the memory of the community alive and Rica Villa is such an emblem for Slanic-Moldova resort. Perched on a rock since the 1930s, it looks out over the city's central park with the benevolent pride of an ancestor who lived a long interesting life. On August 21-22, 1944, Marshal Ion Antonescu, commander of the Romanian army, was in Slanic-Moldova for talks with Hans Friessner, commander of the Southern Ukraine Army Group. The talks took place at Rica Villa, the German's headquarters, the topic of the day being the entry of Soviet troops into the front line *. Those from Slănic-Moldova have not forgotten this. The property has an imposing allure warmed up by its bright walls and size- it is a small and intimate castle with slender towers inhabited by tourists delighted to gaze over the resort’s park and its famous casino and further up to the mountains in the distance. The generous terraces on different levels attract tourists to lazy cafes during the day, while at night, richly illuminated, they transform the property into a focal point of the city. The architecture combines elements of Western medieval with neo-Romanian and allows for a reconversion of the current tourist unit into a private/ holiday home, if desired. The villa was built as a private residence in the 1930s and underwent an impeccable renovation in 2018. There are 5 apartments and 4 double rooms on two floors and an attic. This guarantees a comfortable stay for an extended family or many friends. Honoring their past, the rooms welcome their guests with the surprise of a classic carved solid wood furniture, with arched legs, satin upholstery and delicate inlays. The Arad-based furniture manufacturer is the same one previously chosen by Ceausescu’s family for their homes. The bathrooms are modern and comfortable and some of the walls bear the optimistic handwriting of motivational writing. Situated on the Slanic River, a tributary of the Trotus, Slanic-Moldova resort is located in a depression packed with fir and beech forests. This and the 530m altitude in the Nemira massif in the Eastern Carpathians make the town enjoy clean, ozonated air as well as beneficial natural springs. Over 20 sources of carbonated, chlorinated, sodium, hyper or hypotonic, sulphurous or oligomineral waters, the benefits of which have been discovered since the 19th century, are the subject of exceptional spa operations. Saline microclimate and mofeta gas complete the broad spectrum of health procedures that can be performed in the area. Winter sports add to the area’s charm - the most recent development in the area being the Nemira slope with a length of 1414m at 724m altitude (240m level difference), in other words a light slope with a high degree of attractiveness. Obviously, all of them place Slanic-Moldova on pole position as the flagship resort of Moldova. In addition, Bacau city is only 84 km away, which puts Rica Villa in the range of easily accessible holiday homes for the weekend. Area attractions: • the 2022-launched Nemira slope • mountain trails and hikes - Three hundred steps, Uzea Valley, Nemira Mare, etc. • Târgu Ocna salt mine • Măgura Ocnei monastery • Valea Uzului dam * Source: August 23, 1944.

There is much to say about this property located ad litteram at the foot of the Cindrel Mountains, whose forest begins 30m away but, of all the features, the autonomy given by the carefully chosen technologies puts it in a special category - that of sustainable houses, friendly to the nature in the middle of which they are located (also, we do not ignore the fact that independence from public grid comes with financial benefits). The main option for energy independence is the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the house - the owner has already filed for the “Green House” program for a 5 kW-installation. Erected in 2015, the building has an area of 203 square meters, with the first level made of monolithic reinforced concrete for the safety of the building, and the second level having walls made of wooden beams (the thermal system is made of basalt mineral wool of 20 cm for a maximum thermal comfort). The building is designed to withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of over 7.5 degrees on the Richter scale; the foundation depth is 2.5 meters, and the roof has profiled sheet metal and a gutter defrosting system. The water for domestic consumption comes from the local groundwater and is captured through two wells equipped with home supply systems, but there is also an alternative source - a rainwater collection system that supplies two tanks with a total capacity of 12,000 liters. Wastewater is collected in a 2-compartment drainable septic tank. Drinking water will be brought in the spring - the project is underway. There is a three-phase power supply, the installed power being of 12 kw. The entire system is protected by a voltage stabilizer and a 4.5 kW diesel generator automated for the entire property. Thermal comfort is provided by a gas-fired boiler plus a Viessmann wood-fired boiler with a 1000l buffer (the bathrooms have underfloor heating). A pressurized solar panel and a 200l electric boiler provide hot water separately from the plant. A Daikin system is responsible for the air conditioning of the house; there is high speed fiber optic internet. The security of the property is ensured by the video surveillance and burglar alarm system, and the fire protection with a DSC system. Privacy is guaranteed by windows with double-glazed windows and Spiegel foil. All these impressive facilities are spread on 1350 or 1800 sq m of land (with a street front of about 60 m) on which there are a house with 4 rooms, a gazebo, annexes, carport and a private road and swimming pool. On the ground floor, the focal point is the fireplace, the work of the famous Mihai Iancovescu, restorer of the Brukenthal National Museum; it makes the relaxation area have sleek accents for quiet and comforable living. The adjacent cooking & dining area is flooded at dusk by a golden light; evening is also a good time to sit on the terrace and gaze far away to the Făgăraș Mountains. As a reliable help for the living space, the basement houses a summer kitchen, the laundry room, a wine cellar and one technical room (the pantry is attached to the kitchen on the ground floor). The sleeping area means three bedrooms (the master bedroom comes with a dressing room), two bathrooms, a hall and a technical room. Two of the bedrooms have access to the rustic terrace facing east. Outside, in the courtyard lined with trees that bear delicious fruits, there is a gazebo that is perfectly equipped for outdoor dining having a pizza oven, grill, heater and foil closure plus bathroom and storage. In addition to this pavilion on the property there are seven outbuildings, with metal doors, carport and a cellar with access from the outside. The area is quiet and green, and the fact that it is surrounded by large private properties guarantees a peaceful future, without construction sites (in addition, the road is private and has a low traffic of less than three cars/ day).

Sânpetru, one of the 14 establishments founded by Saxon colonists in 1211 in Țara Bârsei, was known throughout history as Petersburg, Sant Petru or Mons Sancti Petri. Called by the locals „The Old School”, one of the most important buildings in Sânpetru hosted the Evangelical Saxon School for more than a century. The now private property is undergoing a renovation process in order to receive a new function in the near future: hotel and event center. The two buildings are built in L shape on the edges of a 2500 sqm land that offers plenty of usage options.

Located on Dinicu Golescu Boulevard, The Villa with Gorgons is one of the few buildings from the beginning of the 20th century that has been preserved on this important artery of Bucharest. The building was built in 1913 and bears the signature of Ion D. Berindey, one of the most famous and prolific Romanian architects of the first three decades of the 20th century. Among the 29 works classified as historical monuments of Ion D. Berindey are the Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino Palace (today the headquarters of the George Enescu National Museum and the Romanian Composers Union), the George G. Assan House (today the House of Scientists), Palace of the Journalists' Union (today the Very Small Theatre). The Villa with Gorgons was built as Colonel Andreescu's private residence as explained by Revista Poporului, a newspaper of the time, which emphasizes how a good architect can with a modest amount easily obtain a completely satisfactory construction from the aesthetic and comfortable point of view. From an aesthetic point of view, the building is tributary to the romantic style and has as a distinctive sign the gorgonles, sculptures that decorate the facade. Gorgons are taken from Greek culture where symbols on doors, walls, windows, floors and shields were intended to protect the ancient Greeks from evil. In terms of use, the villa is truly versatile and can be set up as a home, office space or a bohemian restaurant. Located on a land area of ​​309 square meters, with a footprint of 101 square meters, Vila cu Gorgone is a slim building, with a D+D+1E+M height regime. The spaces are generous and balanced on levels. The ground floor and first floor have three rooms each and spacious entrance halls. The rooms have wide windows and are bright. The same generous space also exists in the mezzanine, and the attic is open space and perfect for a bohemian design. The villa has two access ways: one pedestrian and another for car access. The building is strengthened and the facade is completely restored. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru, Alex Canjea.

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.

n the vineyard, the cuttings are neatly lined up in orderly rows as if they are queuing up to meet the horizon. The relief is slightly undulating, as befits a vineyard – there are gentle valleys, clay hills and low elevations, arranged naturally at random so that the grapes capture the light, store all the heat of the sun and later, in the tanks, deposit it as an offering to the yeasts in the form of sugar. That's where the magic begins, from the vineyard and the sun gathered by human hands and left to ferment in a controlled manner, in silence, in the wine cellar (the locals proudly say that there are as many cellars as there are houses in the village, or even more). The climatic and geographical conditions of the area are perfect for making good wine. Wine is important in the economy and the lives of the locals; their gratitude and their pride as producers is expressed annually on the third Saturday of October, when the Grape Festival is organized in Dobra, dedicated especially to the village people but also to guests from abroad. Today the view cannot take in the 300 hectares of vineyards in this hilly area with a wine-growing tradition. At Pogany Dobra the vine is young, with pulsating sap, as it was planted in 2011, 2012 and 2014, therefore no replanting or additions are needed, but the extension of the vineyard is possible. A small part is cultivated with table varietals such as Black magic, Kardinal, Matilde and Victoria (approx. 2-3 ha each). The wine varieties and their areas are: - Fetească neagră approx. 25 ha - Merlot approx. 30 ha - Cabernet about 30 ha - Pinot noir approx. 30 ha - Italian Riesling approx. 25 ha - Fetească albă approx. 25 ha - Sauvignon blanc approx. 25 ha - Muscat ottonel approx. 20 ha - Tamaioasa romaneasca approx. 20 ha - Traminer roz approx. 15 ha - Large Burgundy approx. 10 ha - Cadarca approx. 15 ha - Pinot gris approx. 15 ha - Cabernet franc approx. 5 ha Together with the vineyard land, the winemaking space is also purchased with everything necessary for harvesting (tractors, combines, trailers, etc.) and processing the harvest - a platform on which two buildings are erected on a metal structure and sandwich panels (one with controlled temperature) with storage capacity of approx. 800,000 liters in stainless tanks of different capacities. There are also gleaners, presses of various capacities, pumps, filters - a whole processing line that still requires some investment. Soil analyzes and other documents can be made available to those interested, and the owners believe that the of the investment has a promising calendar, being possible in 3-4 seasons. They also base this conviction on the fact that Pogany Dobra wine is appreciated by connoisseurs, the Pogany labels being evaluated at international and local competitions (Feteasca neagra from 2015 received, for example, silver at the Concourse International de Vins, Brussels 2019).

The vibrant construction set on a gentle slope is reached by a path with burnt wood and stone steps, perfectly integrated into the natural setting of the garden. The building, whose height ratio DP+P+1E+M and footprint gives it a springy air, is clad in stone that contrasts with the dark wood balustrades and geraniums that adorn the terraces and balcony. The roof descends over the ground floor terrace like a protective arm against the wind and weather and wide glazed surfaces let light bathe the interior generously. The basement, which exploits the natural difference in level of the land, is thought of as a rather administrative-logistical space - here are placed a kitchen, a storage room and a generous cellar, the thermal plant and the laundry-ironing room plus a room of 12 square meters. On the ground floor there is another kitchen and dining area, living room and two bathrooms. It is the space where family and friends gather. Three bedrooms with three bathrooms, two terraces and a balcony form the night area to which the entire first floor is dedicated; from here you can go directly to the backyard, guarded by the forest. The attic, divided into a generous open space, an office/bedroom, bathroom, hall and storage room, can function as an additional living space. The villa is offered for sale with the current equipment and classic-style furniture. This also includes the luxury of fireplaces, in the living room and in the master bedroom, perfect for relaxing in the ambiance provided by the sound of wood crackling in the fire, in the light of the burning logs. Time seems to flow a little differently in such a house, not slower but just more quietly. The image of the mountains in front rests the eye and the greenery of the property gives it another rhythm – of the rustle of the foliage and the smooth flow of the gondola nearby.

Experience the Transylvania of literature and cinema, complete with dungeons and torture chambers, on a visit to this city in western Romania. Enjoy Romania’s beautiful countryside and haunting legendary tales with a visit to Hunedoara. The city lies in the heart of Transylvania, a pleasant and inviting area of rolling hills, meandering rivers and tranquil old villages. The region is a very real place made famous as a setting for great horrors in stories of bloodsucking vampires and amazingly painful cruelties. 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. Visit its dungeon and torture chamber. According to legend, one prisoner here, Vlad Tepes, the Prince of Wallachia, after being driven to insanity, became one of the century’s cruelest oppressors. 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. Sample home-made meals of sausages, stuffed cabbage and boiled cornmeal and see festivals with colourful folk costumes. Travel to the town from Budapest or Bucharest in about 5 hours by car.

An ensemble of historic houses located in the Jewish quarter of the Capital, more precisely on Romulus Street, which became a historical monument representative of the local cultural heritage, built for Colonel Teodor Vera, commander of the Howitzer Regiment, fighter of the Romanian army in the war for Romania's unifying 1916-1919, in the battles of Mărăști and Mărășești. Romulus Street, in the former Lucaci slum, is one of the most important historical streets in Bucharest, which still preserves the scent of the past. Here, in 1867, next to the house of Hermann I. Rieber, the first Rieber carriage factory was founded, which would later become a luxury car factory. Whether they lived in sumptuous villas built in the pre-war period, or in chic blocks of flats built between the two world wars, over time personalities such as Ionel Teodoreanu, M.I. Demetrescu, Anton Pann, Eugen Lovinescu, George Vraca, Ionescu Gion. Here we meet two architectural styles that form a mixed, composed of two houses built in stages, on a plot of 1,030 sqm, the main body in French neoclassical architectural style, built in 1888, and the secondary body in neo-Romanian architectural style, built in 1929 according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez. The architecture of the buildings was well preserved, the architectural elements were restored after the original ones in the 2000s, preserving the geometry, texture and color of the facades, windows, doors and all the particular elements. At present, the general configuration of the ensemble represents a good opportunity for many types of activities through the multitude of access roads, both from the street and from the courtyard, the generous spaces of the rooms, the height of the ceilings and the practical compartments. The main building, built in French neoclassical style, with a height of GF + M, has an area of ​​708 sqm, and consists of 14 rooms, 2 kitchens, 5 bathrooms and 4 access doors. Decorated at the main entrance, built in rezalit, with massive Corinthian columns and continuing with the door and window frames, rich in triangles and caryatids, the main building is the point of attraction of the ensemble. The secondary building, built in 1929 in neo-Romanian style, according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez, with a height of Ug + Gf + 1F + At and an area of ​​577 sqm, consists of 17 rooms, 2 kitchens, 7 bathrooms and 4 access doors. It also has a basement on 3 levels, one of which is arranged with a wine cellar. The entire basement benefits from natural ventilation, has a usable area of ​​77 sqm, and consists of a wine cellar, 5 storage rooms grouped on separate spaces. The general condition of the interior is good, with finishes such as carved solid wood doors, 2 m high windows with wooden joinery and double glazing, velux windows in the attic, marble floors, air conditioning, monitoring and alarm system 24h, internal cabling for own servers. There is independent metering for water, electricity and gas on each building, heating system with its own boiler, radiators with thermostat and temperature control on areas. The free yard with an area of ​​491 sqm, paved and equipped with night lighting system, is composed of two fragments with street access and a separate inner courtyard. The layout of the main courtyard allows the parking of up to 12 cars. This historic ensemble offers many opportunities in terms of future destinations, in the sense that it can be converted into a medical clinic, currently partly rented by a clinic, a restaurant, boutique hotel, various office activities, representation, showroom, or in a mixed-purpose, residential and business purpose at the same time.

The building is a small jewel, richly decorated and preserving a classic elegance and the distinction of the era in which it was built. The archives mention that in 1911 the house belonged to a certain lieutenant Ionescu about whom today we don't know much, only the essential - he was a man of taste. The building is a former private residence with a low height regime but it offers sufficient and intelligently designed space for the needs of a modern family or company. Until recently, the Austrian Consulate functioned in the building. There are pilasters with capitals that guard the bay window both inside and outside in the living area; they are also found, though with reduced height, as decorative pillars of the entrance porch. The semicircle is the geometric figure chosen to complement and sweeten the straight lines of the window boxes and blazons on the facade; it is found at the bay window, at the windows facing the street and in the double-arched pediment. The double doors at the entrance complement the classic style of the building with decorative garlands and paneling. The windows are high, and the window casing adds an extra touch of elegance; the same role is played by the small iron decorations that serve as fasteners for downspouts. The ground floor is located on a high basement and this lends it presence. Inside, the building requires renovation work but it promises to reward you with spaces with personality that still preserve, in some rooms, the original parquet flooring and stoves with beautiful ironwork. The upper floor is not fully visible from the front; it reveals itself on the side, where there is also a secondary entrance to the building. The unfurnished attic can be lofted as a storage space. The area still retains many buildings from the end of the 19th century, which gives it a bohemian air and guarantees protection from an urban planning point of view. Some of the buildings have been restored and many others are waiting for their chance at a new life. The centrality of the area invites commercial investment in both office space and commercial units and makes it attractive for future developments.
