luxury real estate for sale Snagov, 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.

A resonant name from the War of 1877 is that of General Alexandru Angelescu, a career officer with multiple honors and decorations, and one of the great landowners from whom the entire cultural heritage of the Pissiota family from Poienarii Burchii, Prahova County, descends. Born in 1850, Alexandru Angelescu climbed the ranks of the military hierarchy step by step and received multiple distinctions throughout his career, including the Order of the Star of Romania, Knight grade (1889), the Order of the Star of Romania, Knight grade (1897), the Order of the Star of Romania, Commander grade (1912), the Order of the Crown of Romania, Commander grade (1901), and the Order of the Iron Crown, 2nd class, conferred by His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, Franz Josef, on September 16, 1896. After the general’s death, which occurred on September 13, 1923, his coffin with the body was transported and placed in the family vault in Poienarii Burchii, very close to the current manor house, the funerary monument being classified as a historical and architectural monument, made of Carrara marble, the work of Italian artist Paolo Triscornia di Ferdinando (1853–1936). The manor, which was part of an extensive estate at the time, is relatively small but charming, with a footprint of 87 square meters and built on three levels: ground floor, upper floor, and attic. In addition to the manor, there are several annex buildings, some for living, some for storage, and others dedicated to horse care, the main activity currently taking place within the manor’s grounds. The courtyard of the manor is arranged with grass and river stones, and a large part of the courtyard is dedicated to a riding arena and other facilities for horse care. The estate is completed by 5.1 hectares of land that is neither landscaped nor exploited. Nicolae Pissiota bought much of Angelescu’s estate, building on it one of the most beautiful Romanian churches, a unique blend of the Italian Renaissance style with the Classical Byzantine Style, the church being painted inside by Costin Petrescu, the artist behind the frescoes of the Romanian Athenaeum and the Cathedral in Alba Iulia. The former estate and manor of the Angelescu family is today an opportunity waiting to be brought back to life, as a charming boyar residence, for residential use or as an attraction for development in the tourism or event industry

In the world of architecture, sometimes projects are born that exceed the traditional boundaries of residential design. The Sun House is one of those remarkable stories. A project that perfectly illustrates how cutting-edge technology and sustainability can coexist harmoniously in a natural landscape. What makes the Sun House so special? An architecture that maximizes solar energy, executed to the passive house standard, with an all-wood structure, a smart yet user-friendly home, and an active, edible garden. The Sun House was an ambitious idea that came to life in 2018, in the expansion area of Otopeni, in the immediate vicinity of the Bucharest ring road. With a unique shape and a design that departs from the traditional conventions of homes, it is an example of energy efficiency that maximizes the power of the sun. It has been certified as a Passive House Plus, according to the international standard of the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt. In Romania, there are a total of three certified Passive Plus houses. One remarkable aspect of this residence is the integral use of wood, creating a natural and pleasant ambiance. The ground floor is made of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), a cutting-edge material with structural walls that allow generous openings without the need for supporting pillars or beams. The ground floor is conceived as a central space (the living area) from which the other living rooms are distributed. The floor plan organization, inspired by the archetype of courtyard houses, uses the living room both as a central living space (for cooking, dining, and conversation) and as an interior courtyard from which the bedrooms are entered. The central room naturally extends to the exterior garden on the south side but also visually communicates with the greenhouse, featuring a skylight integrated into the greenhouse floor. However, the greenhouse has external access, as the two levels of the house have different energy performances and independent comfort assurance systems. Above the living space, in the attic area, the spectacular greenhouse adds a unique element - an open space that can be transformed into a flexible, green, and bright living space, with a partially opaque roof on the north side and mostly transparent elsewhere, allowing natural light to penetrate. The garden surrounding the Sun House is ideal for nature lovers. The landscaping was designed in parallel with the architectural plans, with the project theme being an edible garden that provides increased privacy. With an impressive number of plants, fruit trees, shrubs, aromatic plants, and fresh vegetables, the property not only enriches the landscape but also becomes an active yet relaxing space that offers a source of fresh and healthy food. The Sun House is an extraordinary example of a home designed for the future. It is a profound commitment to innovation, sustainability, and environmental respect. A warm, friendly, and bright refuge, an open space for family and friends, in a young community and an area shielded from the noise and hustle typical of urban crowds

Brick Lofts is one of the most important new residential developments from Bucharest, being extremely attractive by the architectural and design stand point, as well as by its location. Its name reveals two of the main characteristics of the complex. The loft style apartments block is defined by an elegant industrial structure, with bricks and adorned with generous windows reminding of the interwar industrial buildings. The choice is not random, the neighbourhood including the old Fabrica de Glucoză industrial platform, currently converted by urban utilitarianism. The spectacular design is to be discovered in the interior spaces, the loft concept being implemented on generous spaces that remind of the New York style apartments from the economic boom period from the beginning of the XX century. With areas that range from minimum of 70 sqm to over 200 sqm per each unit, the interior design is in line with the exterior look, reflecting industrial functionalities by using metal elements - bannisters, crossbeams, marquees, of the apparent brick and of the curtain walls. Situated in the Northern part of Bucharest, with access from Calea Barbu Văcărescu and Fabrica de Glucoză, Brick Lofts provide an important natural element, the green areas representing an advantage, especially, the proximity of the Tei Lake and Floreasca Lake situated only dozens meters away.

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.

The house at 9 Verde Street (today Gheorghe Manu street) was built between 1911 and 1923, initiated by Tațiana Niculescu-Dorobanțu. One of the four daughters of Ion C. Brătianu, Tațiana (1870-1940) married in 1900 Ilie I. Niculescu-Dorobanțu (1873-1943), liberal political figure and prefect of Ilfov. Through their properties will also feature the Darvari manor, close to Bucharest. The plans designed by architect Grigore Cerchez (Cerkez) specified „a building with 2, 3 and 4 levels, massive walls, covered with tiles”, occupying 668,29 square meters. In a letter from 9th of May 1910 addressed to her sister Măriuţa Pillat, then in Paris, Tațiana confessed: „I believe we will have a truly beautiful mansion, Louis XII style, with carved stone and exposed brique”. On 25 September 1913, Taţiana was in France, writing to Sabina Cantacuzino: „The castles on Loire I am not even mentioning, I am amazed by so much beauty and very proud to realize that, without possible comparation to these, my house is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the narrow street makes the palace look crammed.” To furnish the interior, Tațiana chose Romanian traditional art objects and pieces from Antique shops in Paris and Munich. From Spain she brought furniture and tapestries. She wanted everything to be perfect and told her close friends: „I will show you this room only when it is completely furnished.” The imposing building bears the allure of a Gothic cathedral, with exquisite constructive and decorative elements: the exposed brick façade, in several shades of red, the towers’ silhouettes, the entrance portal, the imposing windows, with carved stone elements in Neo-gothic fashion, the cornices, gargoyles, stained glass windows and pointed arches that mark the exterior and interior. In his will, Ilie I. Niculescu-Dorobanțu donated the building to the Ion C. Brătianu Establishment, provided that it became the museum „Ilie, Tațiana and Ion Niculescu-Dorobanțu”. Between 1948-1957, the house hosted the canteen of the employees of the Minister of Industry. In 1956, following the pressures of the Direction of Historic Monuments, that considered the building „one of the most valuable in the Capital from an architectural point of view”, it was classified as part of the heritage of the Ministry of Culture and Education, undergoing consolidation works. Starting 1958, it hosted the Technical school of choreography, with 300 students. Today, more than one century after its construction, the impressive Gothic Revival residence maintains its mysterious allure, fascinating the passers-by with its imposing dimensions and unique construction details, crafted by one of the most important Romanian architects.

Designed by the family architect, G. Gracoski, the villa of Commander Nicolae Gracoski is one of the beautiful historical houses of the Capital. Named after its first owner, commander of the Military House of the Royal Court with the rank of rear admiral, the villa was built between 1908-1910, in a neo-baroque style with neo-Romanesque influences, on a generous plot of over 1,000 square meters of land near the Park Ioanid and the Grădina Icoanei Park, framed by the houses of famous families such as Callimachi, Văcărescu or personalities such as Alexandru Xenopol, Alexandru Macedonski, Eugeniu Teoharie, Radu Arion. The area is famous, being considered even today as one of the most elegant residential areas in the center of Bucharest. The imposing building that we still see today went through an extensive stage of renovation and reconsolidation that was completed in 2009, on which occasion the exterior and interior carpentry was replaced with solid wood, the floor was raised, the exterior terraces have were covered with travertine with a sensor heating system, the bathrooms were covered with granite or marble, an electric elevator was installed, a basement pool and a garage for two cars were built. Following the consolidation and restoration works, the interior spaces were reconfigured and brought up to the standards of the current period, thus offering the possibility of developing various functions: residence, offices, representative office, public institution, restaurant, etc. The property covers 1,609 sqm, has a height regime of Bs+Gf+1F+A and is composed of 10 rooms, 7 bathrooms, a 64 sqm ground floor terrace, a 43 sqm terrace on the top level and a double garage in the basement. It has 7 parking spaces, two in the garage and five in the yard. Beyond the distinctive architecture and interior decorations, the main attraction of the property remains the location. The villa benefits from an ultra-central position, in the heart of Bucharest, and a beautiful garden, to which is added the discretion and tranquility offered by the two historical parks: Grădina Icoanei Park and Ioanid Park. So, whenever there is the possibility of a relaxing walk on the romantic alleys of the two famous parks, feeling the sensation of returning to the Belle Epoque period of the old Bucharest.
