The famous residential compound from the Bucharest metropolitan area is, without the doubt, Paradisul Verde - a real community developed in the Northern part of the capital city, in Corbeanca. Situated in the proximity of Bucharest , surrounded by the Corbeanca Lake and Forest, the entire atmosphere is dominated by nature, as well as by the exclusive club organisation of the compound. The safety and sustainability are important characteristics, but the advantages are numerous, from the kids playground, to others such as the sports areas and the primary education centres. Amongst all these, this exceptional villa built in 2015 is developed with both a generous inside area, as well as a spacious garden full of mature plants. Probably, one of the main house's attractions consists in her exterior, as well as interior design, the architect and designer' work generating a great impression not only for the building itself, but for the entire property, being a real modern piece. The ground floor is defined by the open living area that vibrates around a floating fireplace, but also due tot the spacial transitions towards the interior staircase, towards the dining area and to the open space kitchen. With the exception of the matrimonial area placed on the ground floor, the first floor is dedicated to the bedrooms and to other relaxing areas on the terraces, adding up to the comfort and relationship with the surrounding nature.

The penthouse on the shores of Lake Băneasa is a truly exclusive one, from positioning to the smallest finishing and furnishing details.

Located right at the feet of Ciucaș Massif and surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Balaban, Babeș and Zăganului mountains, the small depression of Cheia offers an exquisite painting of meadows, shady forests and clear waters. Initially developed as a small settlement around Cheia Monastery, Cheia Mountain Resort gradually increased due to the expansion of logging. The name Cheia and Cheița actually reflect the narrow aspect of the steep-walled valleys. In the middle of the resort, on the bank of Teleajen river is situated the Villa with Birch Trees, with its large garden, in terraces, decorated with statues of Roman inspiration, from the 19th century. The building is composed of 3 distinct units, with different height regimes, built in a traditional stylistic manner, specific to the mountain area. The interiors are richly decorated with art and collectibles, from hunting trophies and popular objects, to traditional ceramics and works of art. The construction was completed in the late 1970s, with improvements done up to 1990. The Villa with Birch Trees can function both as a residence or a multi-family holiday house, as well as a tourist accommodation unit, following a conversion project. The property is located in the heart of the many birch forests with mountain flowers that unfold during the spring an idyllic landscape, while in autumn, in the mountain valleys, the spruce trees portray marvelous autumnal paintings through their rusty crowns. The main tourist attractions in Cheia and its surroundings are: Cheia Monastery, built between 1835-1839 by two shepherds from Săliștea Sibiului; The "Mine Flowers" Museum, which houses a valuable collection of 170 pieces with a wide variety of shapes and colors; The Francisc Rainer Museum of Anthropology, the former holiday home of the great scientist, founder of Romanian anthropology, the Suzana Monastery, founded by Suzana Arsicu in 1770, along with the numerous mountain trails in the Ciucaș Mountains. A fairytale house, in a dream location... would be the perfect description for the Villa with Birch Trees.

When you hear â€Saxon house†the first thing that comes to your mind might be Prince Charles and his property in Viscri. An important unit of the local heritage, the Saxon houses are much more than that. More than 200 villages and many cities in Transylvania bear the mark of the Germanic civilization. And the Saxon house in Codlea, built between 1905-1907, makes no exception. The high gates, which shield the property from any indiscretion, allow for an impressive house to meet the curious eyes with its large windows, wooden beams and poles in sight, with the air of a miniature fortress. With a usable area of 450 sqm, the property is completely restored and the current owner paid a special attention to the preservation of the original architectural details. The oak carpentry has been refurbished, but for a better thermal comfort, another row of laminated wood windows has been added. The wooden doors and door frames are also modern additions, high quality replicas of the original elements. Two rows of parallel beams pass, at a height of 3.5 meters, the ceiling of the house. The attic, an open space of 130 sqm, has its own bathroom and is protected by a recently rebuilt roof with double-glazed tiles. The garage with automated access and separate central heating on each level are just some discreet elements of modernity in a context that preserves the charm of a traditional Saxon dwelling. And the property benefits from a real bonus: in the same yard there is a completely separate house with an area of more than 200 sqm, disposed on two levels. Built in 1973, this home is fully modernized and equipped. The land on which the property is located is also impressive. Spread over an area of 1826 square meters, it is composed of two distinct parts: a pretty cobbled courtyard, confined by ornamental plants, and a terraced garden with fruit trees. The areas are separated by massive walls that enhance the appearance of the typical fortified Saxon properties. In addition, the location, a keyword on the real estate market, is a special one. The property is in the downtown of Codlea, 15 kilometers away from Brasov and only 5 kilometers from the future Ghimbav airport. From the yard of the Saxon House you can admire the Postăvaru massif, and the proximity of the DN1 national road makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate mobility.

Also, being very convenient located in the heart of the city, the property is only 15 minutes walking distance from Universității Square or the Izvor and Eroilor subway stations.

Contemporary architecture plays with volumes, full and empty, overlapping parallelepipeds with elongated sides - as is this villa, a perpedicular universe of right angles tamed by carefully placed vegetation, thick-crowned trees and bushy shrubs. Ample, modernly designed terraces are designed to allow life outside, in the fresh air of this quiet, secluded part of Breaza. The ground floor appears fluid, the space having continuity and lightness in a slightly masculine atmosphere where the chromaticity is concentrated in olive tones, anthracite and declinations of the chocolate-caramel spectrum. The vague sobriety is also maintained in the private spaces, in the bathrooms receiving monochromatic tones of granite with dramatic accents. The two fireplaces, in the living room and the master bedroom, bring warmth and style. The dining area is placed between two glazed walls which provide light and a view to the greenery outside; on hot days, the meal is taken on the terrace where a barbeque is set up, area accessible both from the kitchen and living room. A stylish, Japanese spa-like atmosphere is provided by the 72m2 indoor pool, a perfect example of minimalism, that extreme simplification of lines and form for a reduction to the essentials of function and aesthetics. In fact, the house also shares the passion for technology classically associated with Japanese culture - it is a smart home, the commands can be given from the application installed on the phone or from the switches - security system, air conditioning, dimming lighting, music are fully integrated. The chosen level of comfort means individual air conditioning in each room, underfloor heating throughout the house, external defrosting, water softener, lightning rod with long protection radius and grounding socket, solar panels and HDMI wiring in all rooms as well as a Variovac Premium 240VIP central vacuum with 12 m hose and controllers on the handle. The vegetation created by a landscape architect benefits from an irrigation system that can be fed from the network or from its own well and the pump from the underground technical room. The indoor pool is controlled by an Orpheo automatic with pH and ORP dosing plus a sand filter, has a Dantherm dehumidifier and can be illuminated with 6-color LEDs. To the rear of the house there is a shed with generous space for tools and gardening. The property is connected to the sewer, it also has its own pit and two deep wells with stone walls for rainwater. Safety is also a key aspect taken seriously - all rooms have a glass break sensor and a motion sensor, and the hallways have a smoke and temperature sensor; in addition, all rooms where there are water pipes have a flood sensor. There is a system of video cameras outside and inside plus sensor lights in the car park, on the building and perimeter (trees) as well as on the 70m access road. The two gates are automatic and have control light, and access is via an Aprilaire video intercom. In conclusion, the villa is an ideal home or place of refuge in nature and in the fresh air of Breaza, offering facilities rarely found even in big cities. There is the option to also purchase a 500m2 plot of land next to the villa, with a non-functional building at present, if an extension of the property is desired. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru

The real commercial heart of the old city of Arad, the “Boul Roșu†Inn was built in the first part of the 19th century and played an important role in the development of the city. Its name is reminiscent of the famous cattle fair that used to take place in the square of the same name. The inn housed merchants and producers who came for various fairs that usually took place in Avram Iancu Square and Cathedral Square. At the ground floor of the building there was a luxurious restaurant, the upstairs part functioned as a hotel, and behind the building were stables for the animals of those who stopped at the inn. Throughout its history of almost 200 years, the building has played a major role in the social, commercial, cultural and political life of the city. In 1890, the 1st of May was celebrated for the first time in Romania, here, at the inn, and until the end of the Second World War, important cultural events took place here as well. From an architectural point of view, the building was built in an eclectic style and still retains the beauty of its richly decorated façade. The ornamental decorations, the window frames and the corner tower are the distinctive elements of the building that every resident recognizes from first glance. Nowadays, “Boul Roșu†continues the commercial and tourist tradition left as legacy and is offering a total buitl area of 5,526 sqm on a very generous 7,043 sqm land plot that makes it very attractive.

Built in 1884, this are the first public steam baths of Arad that offered all the modern ammenities of its time. Located on Unirii Street, in a central and very circulated area of 19th century Arad, Simay Baths will enjoy a huge popularity and will also launch a trend that will expand throughout central Arad until late interwar period. The inner courtyard exhibited a fountain, 337 meters deep, that provided the thermal water for the baths and pools, but also the gas needed for heating of the boilers, for lighting and heating the building. In 1902 a second fountain was drilled, getting a 28 degrees Celsius thermal water and offering its guests a large array of services: steam baths, pools, mineral water baths and mud baths. After 1948, Simay Public Baths chaneged the name into "Sanatatea Communal Baths" and continued offering its services to the people of Arad. Today the building preserved its charm,but not its initial function. The monumental building is today split in different areas: the groundfloor functioned until recently as a premium club and event center, the first floor is split in apartments, the basement hosts a salina , but ony partially, as most of it is not in use, just like the attic. The building is in a good condition, the facade was fully renovated in 2020, while most of the buiilding is also well maintained and in use. With a rich history, a stunning architecture and a very good location, the former Simay Baths can be turned in a very chic hotel or a mixed function facility

This interwar building, design in Neo-Romanian style, is located in Sibiu, in the immediate vicinity of the 15th century medieval fortified enclosure. The ensemble is classified in the List of Historical Monuments in Romania by order no. 2030/2014 with code SB-II-a-B-21084, and includes: the main residence (SB-II-m-B-21084.01), the first annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.02) and the second annex (SB-II-m-B-21084.03). According to cartographic sources, around 1875 there was another building on the place of the current one. In 1909, the plot was owned by Henrik Baumann, in 1929 the ownership right was registered for Luiza and Friedrich Baumann. The inscription on the portico’s floor and on the façade indicates its year of construction as 1929, the project being signed by architect Alfred Cernea, as the concrete slab on the façade indicates. Most likely, the project was commissioned by Dr. Liviu Turcu. The present building is emblematic for its Neo-Romanian style. The characteristic features are: massive volumetry, highlighting the central body, loggia with short and thick columns, carved wooden structures inspired by the vernacular architecture, trilobed arches, openings with semi-circular closure and rich decorations with Oriental motifs. The central side of the façade is taller than the other parts, which is also highlighted at the roof. The central area of the ground floor contains a window with semi-circular closure, framed by two embedded Corinthian columns. The floor of the central part is the richest ornamented part of the façade, elevated by the balcony, supported on four massive consoles, decorated with arabesque panels. The loggia opens through three tall trilobate arcades. The façade surfaces around the arches are decorated in an exuberant style with spindles, flowers and arabesques. The main façade of the building offers a panoramic view of the entire garden, at the center of which is an ornamental pool. The access to the yard is made through an alley flanked by tall trees. Designed as an urban villa-style residence with a park around the central building, it initially hosted the Dr. Bolintineanu Sanatorium, and in November 1936 it became Dr. Antal's "For Births and Female Diseases" Clinic. The building was nationalized in 1948 with this function, soon becoming the headquarters of Sibiu General Sanitary Inspectorate, then a kindergarten, a function preserved until the 1990s. In 2000 the villa and the parcel were returned to the heir family. Today, the imposing building keeps almost intact its original design, projected by architect Cernea, with the valuable decorative elements of the façades. The two annexes were also preserved, realized in a unitary architectural design, the fence near the street along with the main gate, the alley lined by trees, the rampant, the staircase and the basin in front of the main building. Inside, valuable items have been preserved, such as decorative paintings of the ceiling and the original carpentry. Other main attractions add up to the exquisite architectural details, such as: the generous yard of over 5000 sqm and the proximity to The Big Square in Sibiu, located at only 200 m. An outstanding witness of the only national architecture program in Romania, located in a central area of Sibiu, this splendid interwar villa is silently and hopefully waiting for its new owner.

There’s something of the earth-sky tension carried in the mountain villas architecture; gravity pulls towards the stone beneath the feet, while the tops of the mountains and trees look up at the blue. Villa Ghica is part of this binomial being anchored in a high stone foundation but the white walls are trying to get out of the decorative wood’s grip. It is quiet, there’s soft light and occasionally the rustling of leaves an dwater or bird’s fluttering their wings. The proximity of the forest translates into a gently sloping terrain with rich grass and shady trees; the villa is perched on a moderate ridge. The generous yard of 1050 sqm, guarded by imposing fir trees, is delimited by wooden fences that symbolically define the spaces, leaving the eye to freely pass through them towards the morning mist and the forest maze. The building has a slender figure despite being rather horizontal; the clean and bright outside has red-tiled chimneys that promise the warmth and comfort of stoves; indeed, the ground floor living room surprises with a spectacular fireplace with refined round lines. The living room on the ground floor is partitioned by round arches and a decorative ceiling thus creating small elegant reception areas that are patiently waiting for guests’ tête-à -tête. The solid furniture does not weight you down, there’s history and discretion in it. The interiors are bright, with meticulously crafted solid wood pieces; it is the refined atmosphere of a space that was once part of the creative houses of the intellectual elite of the twentieth century. A warm wooden staircase connects to the bedrooms on the attic floor; the wood nuance is also found in the carpentry of the doors but also in the kitchen furniture. Wonderful stoves with richly decorated tiles warm the night area, bringing not only warmth but also the necessary stories - the panoramic view of the Bucegi Mountains provides material and inspiration. Activities and attractions in the area: • Peleș Castle (1873-1914) • Știrbey Castle / Sinaia Museum • Sinaia Casino • Sinaia Monastery (1690) with a painting by Pârvu Mutu Zugravul and the tomb of the politician Tache Ionescu • Sinaia Monastery Museum, the first museum of religious art in Romania with paintings and icons, over 500 volumes of old books, antique furniture and church art. • Ariniş Reservation that protects and conserves arboreal species, including the white alder (alnus incana). • Sinaia Railway Museum inside Sinaia Station • Palace-Villa “Alina Știrbei Florescu†• Narcissus Meadow, Rea Valley • Starting point for Ialomicioarei Cave and Ialomița Monastery (wooden church, 16th century) • Mountain routes to Zănoagei Gorges, Omu Peak, Caraiman Cross, Dor Peak, Izvorul Dorului Valley, Jepii Mari, Jepii Mici • Slopes: Valea Soarelui, Valea Dorului, Papagal, Laptici, Valea Dorului, Cota 2000, Malaxa, Vânturile, Poiana Stânii, Furnica, Popicărie, Vânturiș, Târle, Scândurari

The town of Şomcuta Mare is located in the south-western part of Maramureș County, connected to the European road E58, Baia Mare - Cluj Napoca, at a distance of 25 km from Baia Mare. The popular tradition says that the name of Șomcuta Mare springs from the cornel shrubs that were found in abundance in these places, that once gave the name of the forest near Văleni village – "Corneasa". Regarding this forest, it is said that it stretched over the borders of Şomcuta Mare and that, in the middle of it, there used to be a fountain, around which the community developed. From the first history records, it is shown that Șomcuta Mare had a predominantly Romanian population. This is proven by all the evidence that has been preserved in this regard about the Chioar Domain – where Șomcuta Mare was a part of. One of the historical monuments in Șomcuta Mare, this imposing building was built by the Austro-Hungarian State, between 1880 and 1890, to function as the Chiorean Commercial Bank, the first bank in the area. Currently, the building is connected to all utilities and services: gas, electricity, water supply and drainage. A few years ago, more precisely in 2003, the building had its roof and windows replaced, thus carrying out an important renovation process. Arranged on the following floor system: lower ground + ground floor + first floor + attic, this building provides that investment that you have always been looking for: its positioning and layout represent potential for various developments. It can bring many further exciting opportunities, starting from the industrial production ones to commercial ones. The building can function efficiently as a hotel, restaurant, kindergarten, school or nursing home. It accommodates 37 rooms and 5 bathrooms, with a pragmatic planning. Photo: Florin Pepene

The last few years have brought to our attention areas, names and ancient histories that put in context and humanize the town we live in and the buildings we pass by in a hurry. The House of Guilds is one of those witness-houses, few and often in danger of extinction, which recover the history of the city and its largest minority, the Jews. Sephardic refugees from Spain and later, after the Principalities Union, Ashkenazi from Galitia, the Jews are doctors, potters, merchants, samsari, tailors, painters, craftsmen specialized in metalworking and are useful to the city because it contributes to its urbanization. They settled on the left bank of Dâmbovița, near the Royal Court and later in the area that became the Jewish Quarter. They built houses with shops on the ground floor, public baths, kosher butchers shops and dairies, teahouses where religious music was listened to, temples and synagogues. Today few remember this community; the legionary fires of 1941 and the massive demolition of the 1980s changed the appearance of the neighborhood considerably. At present, the toponym "Jewish Quarter" encapsulates more storrytelling than material evidence, which makes the property proposed for sale even more valuable. On Spătaru Street at number 10A we find today this neo-Gothic building, richly decorated, "Casa Breslelor", the work of the architect Luigi Ludovic Lipizer, who arrived in Bucharest from the Austrian Empire in the middle of the 19th century. The building has not only a unique architecture but also a historical and architectural value that the restoration and extension project carried out by an architectural office specialized in the rehabilitation of historical monuments intends to preserve (the project is currently subject to approval). Lipizer embraces the neo-Gothic style, expressed in Europe in the18th and 19th centuries, and this option makes the building look like a commercial hall from the Middle Ages and is known today as the House of Guilds - it is believed that the statues placed on the columns with capitals and protected by meticulously decorated canopies represent various professions. The access is made through an arched door under a noble broken arch, but the neo-Gothic remains outside; inside, only the light entering the house brings with it the beauty of the windows. On the ground floor, besides the hall and stairwell, there will be, according to the restoration and extension project, an office, a living room with dinning area, a bathroom and a kitchen. Upstairs it is proposed to redistribute the space into a master bedroom, a bathroom, another bedroom plus a family room and the current loggia. The architects propose an additional floor with a bedroom and terrace; also here the restoration and extension project includes the transformation of a portion of the roof into a glass roof. In the basement generous areas have been designed for the technical room, laundry/ bathroom and cellar, plus living quarters for staff. An open cellar is provided with access from the courtyard, where the demolition of the adjoining bodies without residential and architectural-historical value is taken into account with the preservation of some brick walls as decorative elements of the green spaces that will form the interior garden. The present values the past, shakes it from the dust and sees its future. The House of Guilds, one of the few left standing despite its 160th anniversary, has the chance to shine again as a magnificent private home, unique in its history and architecture, comfortable and warm through its planned restoration works.

There’s a Romanian saying that holds each individual accountable for planting a tree, having a child and building a house during a lifetime, only the road is not strainght for everyone. Sometimes we trim trees planted by other hands, raise children with different DNA and make ours houses originally designed for other families. In the case of the house, this order of things can be a blessing in disguise - between dream and reality, between the drawing board and the final quote, syncopes, derailments and communication errors can happen so that the final result is accepted with regret, assimilated with embarrassment because it constantly reminds us the failure to translate imagination into practice. Having a ready-made house has the advantage of showing you first hand how it solve d one challenge or another, how it negotiated space and light, volume and comfort, concrete and turf. It's easy to feel its atmosphere, to qualify the vibe and evaluate what can be done to make it "home" moulded to your needs and expectations. For those who do not have the courage, time or energy to harness a building site buying a ready-to-move-in house offers instant gratification. A property with 1320 sqm of land, 7 rooms and an outdoor gazebo located in Breaza offers exactly this opportunity. It can be easily turned into a blank canvas for you to sketch whatever works for your family. The generous windows surfaces invite light inside and guide the gaze outwards to the distant mountains. A generous living room gathers the family around a board game or the friends for taste of the local brandy (for another local product, Breaza bulz, a visit to a nearby tourist sheepfold is recommended). The bedrooms have a comfortable size and the bathrooms have walk-in showers. With a serene atmosphere, surrounded by the green carefully manicured lawn, the property is ready for you, or your designer, to choose styles, color ranges and textures. Breaza (whose name seems to come from Slavic and refers either to a shepherdess with a white strand in her black hair or to a birch forest) is one of the oldest spas being certified since 1928. Its air purity was compared to the one in the Swiss resort of Davos. Although located on a popular route to the mountain resorts of Sinaia, Predeal and Poiana Brasov, Breaza has the advantage of being outside the crowded section that starts from Comarnic onwards. This makes access from Bucharest easy and a holiday home here becomes a destination for every weekend. Activities and attractions in the area: • Brâncoveanu Park with secular trees • 23km long bike and hiking trails, duration 5 hours • Golf • Horse riding • Șotrile seabuckthorn and berries festival • Spa and spa treatments for dermatological, cardiological and respiratory diseases
