Located in the prestigious Sector 1 of Bucharest, this exceptional 870 sqm villa stands among the most remarkable historic residences to emerge on the market in recent years. Built in 1914 and designed by Victor Ștefănescu, personal architect to King Carol I, the residence is a refined and authentic expression of Neo-Romanian architecture, preserved with remarkable fidelity to its original form for over a century. Commissioned by Victor Ionescu, Romania’s first ambassador to Portugal and brother of the prominent statesman and former Prime Minister Take Ionescu, the villa transcends its architectural value to embody a meaningful chapter of Romanian history. It served as a meeting place for the Conservative-Democratic Party, where key decisions were shaped regarding Romania’s entry into World War I. Victor Ștephănescu’s architectural legacy includes some of Romania’s most important national landmarks, such as the Cercul Militar Național, the Arcul de Triumf, the Constanța Casino, and the Coronation Cathedral of Alba Iulia, a context that further elevates the cultural significance of this residence.

Original parquet flooring, stained glass, marble fireplaces, silk wall coverings, and oak paneling contribute to an atmosphere of timeless refinement, complemented by stucco detailing and distinctive exterior decorative elements inspired by chestnut leaves, a rare feature within Neo-Romanian architecture.

This secluded outdoor space is equally suited for quiet relaxation or for hosting elegant private gatherings.
