luxury real estate for sale Romania (page 7)

Located at the intersection of Piața Libertății and Alba Iulia Street, this historic building, constructed in 1812 at the initiative of Toma Naum Makri, a Timisoara-based Aromanian merchant, stands as an architectural landmark of the city. Initially passed down to his daughter Persida, married Stoikov, the building was redesigned in 1900 by architect Lipót Baumhorn and has undergone various transitions – from being donated to the Aromanian-Serbian community to nationalization during the communist era. Today, it is privately owned. A distinctive feature of the façade is the sculpted Atlantes, a rare architectural motif in Romania with roots in European neoclassical style. Additionally, the building houses a remarkable historical element: the stone portal with Ionic columns at the entrance, which, according to urban legend, includes two elements that were originally Ottoman cannons captured by the Habsburg army in 1716. Recently restored, the main façade, woodwork, and roof have been fully renovated, and a proposed project aims to transform the building into a 4-star hotel with 80 rooms and conference halls. Originally designed with 40 rental spaces, the property remains highly versatile, making it ideal for uses such as a hotel, medical clinic, corporate headquarters, or commercial spaces on the ground floor and basement.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Located in a remarkable natural setting in the village of Goranu, just 3 km from the center of Râmnicu Vâlcea, in a private neighborhood surrounded by green spaces, on the picturesque bank of the Olt River, and near the gorge that bears its name, this villa of exceptional refinement harmoniously blends neo-Romanian architectural tradition with modern amenities, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.

This connection with the surrounding landscape further emphasizes the unique charm of the property, which not only integrates perfectly into the natural environment but also enriches its residents’ experience with an unparalleled view of the valley and the city. Additionally, the villa’s location in Râmnicu Vâlcea places it very close to several well-known resorts: Ocnele Mari and the Salt Mine are 10 minutes by car, Băile Olănești, Băile Govora, and Călimănești-Căciulata are 20 minutes by car, while Voineasa and the Transalpina ski resort are 1 hour and 30 minutes by car.

The inner courtyard contains recreation areas: a mini basketball court, an outdoor pool with a heat pump, a covered terrace with a bar, a jacuzzi, and a 40 sqm beach terrace, which transforms this oasis into an ideal place for relaxation and fun, adding extra value to this villa.

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.

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.

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.

The air of the style that flourished in Europe from the beginning of the 17th century, the Baroque, reaches the premium properties of Timișoara. This penthouse offers a magnific view, and with the 2 levels of over 280 square meters equipped with spacious terraces, the property combines the classic interior with the modernity of the city from the outside. With generous rooms, fully marble bathrooms with the highest quality marble: carara, porto nerro, dorato and marquisa and the fact that the penthouse is generally wrapped in many golden-painted profiles, this penthouse is ideal for a tasteful family. Being so impressive for its grandeur and finishes, it can be implemented as an full time apartment - hotel or only when the owner is on a trip or vacation, at will.

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

On the basement is the perfect temperature for your next winery gallery. The villa has a usable area of 245 square meters, which makes it one of those spacious homes that manage to keep an intimate character and 2 interior parking places. Floor heating is provided by the 2 units installed in the tehnical room. By option, the entertaiment and playground area can be reconversed to interior pool area, as it was initially in the project.

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

Located in one of the best residential areas of Brasov, ideally placed at the edge of the forest, this is one of the most attractive available properties of the city not only due to its positioning but also due to the large land plot and overall amenities. The 2686 sqm land plot offers access to two streets and are split as such to serve different purposes: there is a part that is beautifully landscaped with ornamental plants and trees, there is also an area with a small orchard with fruit trees and vine, there is a large terrace that can be fitted and used to enjoy the amazing view of the mountains and there is also an extra large 8-car garage. The building is monumental, with a very distinct architecture where the four large pillars on the main façade are the highlights. The size of the house is big, with a footprint area of 629 sqm and a total built area of 2127 sqm, split on four levels. The ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and well being, this is why here is where we find the spa, with a large pool, a sauna and a hot tub, then we have a living area, a very large kitchen and a nice hall way with a monumental stairway connecting the upper levels. The first and second floors are where the very large bedrooms, designed as small apartments are located. The attic is a large open space area that can be turned into whatever the next owner will need it to be. The interior is classic, with marble floors and bamboo wooden floorings, with classical pieces of furniture, stained glass or custom made chandeliers nd even an elevator.

One of the very few fully renovated manors available in Bucharest's vicinity is located in Vadu-Lat, Giurgiu county. Only 51 km away from Bucharest, Radu Iliescu Manor can instantly become a permanent residence away from the buzz of the big city but with a fairly easy access to all its interest points, or it can become a weekend or vacation residence with all facilities and amenities needed. Built in 1900, the manor is listed as a historical and architectural monument of local importance, and it was fully renovated with a lot of attention for the details and great care for restoration and preservation of the original elements, and then furnished and decorated in line with its character and its history. The manor is set on a 3.834 land plot, with turf, stone alleys, ornamental landscape and a big orchard with fruit trees. We find also a few additional smaller constructions: a gazebo, a stand-alone "house of the guardian" that is fully renovated and ready-to-use, an old barn that is restored and used for decorative purpose, and a building that was used as stables and that is now transformed in 3 distinct rooms used as workshop, distillery and storage. The manor is built on two levels, semi-basement and ground floor, and since 2009 it is owned by a family who took care of the restoration process, a very thorough one, made using traditional methods and materials. After renovation the place was tastefully designed, from the garden's landscape all the way to furniture and the authentic decor pieces.If what you want is a property with an aristocratic heritage, that looks and feels authentic and natural, that happily blends together nature and history, then the Vadu-Lat manor may be your best choice!

Often, the most beautiful views are well hidden and require extra effort to find and enjoy them. This is the case with this holiday home, a small gem well hidden at the edge of the forest, at the end of a road that stops once it reaches the house. Located in Dâmbovița county, in Valea Lungă, the house is close enough to Bucharest to be easily accessible, just 115 km away, and only 48 km from Sinaia, which offers multiple usage options. The house is built based on an Austrian project that brings with it the feel of a chalet in the heights of the Alps. It has a unique charm and is constructed, finished, furnished, and equipped with great quality and attention to detail. The house is positioned in a truly special way, practically surrounded by the forest on three sides, and the view from the front terrace is always filled with nature. In terms of layout, the house has three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, a spacious living room with double-height ceilings, and a fully equipped kitchen, totaling a usable area of 180 sqm.

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

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.

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.
