The Villa on Viitorului Street introduces us to the end of the street towards downtown Bucharest, connecting Dacia and Stefan cel Mare boulevards. Near small historic districts such as Grădina icoanei, Gemeni Square or Toamna-Popa Petre area, the end of Dacia boulevard and Alexandru Donici Street tell stories from another time. Homes and villas of Bucharest’s bourgeoisie were built here from the end of the nineteenth century, but during the interwar period the area knew the most important architectural development. Moreover, today's appearance of the street was outlined in the decades between 1920 and 1940, a period of economic and demographic prosperity. Ilie Mecu, economist and banking specialist, with a career of more than 4 decades in the National Bank of Romania, was one of those who managed to have a home in the above-mentioned area. He built his house on Viitorului street at number 34 in the second half of the 1920s. With a considerable income - in 1927 he became a general inspector at the National Bank of Romania headquarters, gaining about 25.000 -30.000 lei - Mecu built a chic villa: far from the street, having a garden in front, 12 rooms divided between the floors, and also a spacious attic.

Life on “the boulevard”, the big road as Kiseleff was called in the Belle Epoque, means without a doubt privilege, harmonious architecture, low density, safe investment, peace and greenery. Seen from the outside a property here is an opportunity; from the inside, life lived on Mahatma Gandhi corner with Kiseleff means the magic of color, fragrance and sounds rarely found in the rest of the city. From the magnolia on the street corner, recognized as the most beautiful in Bucharest, to the chestnut trees with chandelier flowers and the intoxicating smell of linden trees that roams the air in May and June, life la Sosea is nothing but pure poetry. The passing of autumn is punctuated by the fall of chestnuts, and winter snow is nowhere more beautiful in the city than filtered by the light of the lighting poles leading to the Arc de Triomphe. The apartment that can become a future "home" has five rooms, of which two bedrooms, plus two bathrooms and is located on two levels - a high hochparter (3.8m) and basement - joined by an interior staircase made by a Swiss artist. The staircase is, in fact, the one that attracts attention and unites the two spaces, giving the central theme of the house. From the entrance hall you reach a living area that includes the dining area with the kitchen on the right and the living room on the left. It is a fluid area with wide passages, oak floors and large windows. The ceilings are the ones that partition it through the beams and decorative dials made of wooden beams in perfect agreement with the doors, the floor and the steps of the staircase, which are in turn made of solid oak and made to order. The old, valuable, solid wood furniture gives weight and history to the space, as do the paintings, silver trays and other decorative objects. The porcelain cupboard for the table and the fireplace attract the eye and keep it captive - there is a lot of soul in their aura, you see hands that handled plates at dinners, pages turned in front of the fire, life stories. The atmosphere is stylish, aristocratic, having that timelessness typical of intellectual environments. The night area is in the basement and surprises with the height of the rooms and their light. Here is a family room with a wonderful office under the stairs. Two bedrooms, each with large dressing rooms, are on the left and on the right, the dressing room being the only concession made to the contemporary. In the bathrooms, elegant chests serve as a support for sinks, the mirrors have carved wooden or faded bronze frames and there are paintings on the walls. The kitchen, with solid oak furniture, countertop and Brazilian granite back-splash, is equipped with top kitchen appliances and includes a professional built-in espresso machine and a warm drawer. The building, built between 1959-1961, has a concrete and masonry resistance structure with reinforced concrete frames and floors and was completely restored and renovated between 2011 and 2013. The terrace in front of the house is used exclusively by the apartment owner.

Botiza, Romania

US$510,500

A small house made of wood and clay, with Voronet blue walls and a shingle roof, on a green meadow where tufts of grass grow in the sun, bordered by a cherry orchard and a fence of woven hazelnut twigs; a thick-crowned tree from which to hang a swing - an idyllic image, the textbook definition of the chic and comfortable peasant house but built based on contemporary ergonomics and aesthetics. Its blue walls catch the eye and keep them captive, guiding them to details and focusing on the meticulousness with which they were made, such as the carved wooden girdle that gives the house wheel around the porch and clings to the shingles through thin pillars. Beneath it, the wood for the winter hides from the rain and not from the eyes. Outside, the roof has glass eyes hidden under heavy eyelids. Below is the attic, a space arranged with the stinginess of the designer eye that obtains comfort and atmosphere from lights and shadows, volumes, and textures. The few pieces of furniture are carefully chosen and complete this type of housing in which the objects have symbolic weight, not material. The interiors are the expression of the eclecticism of a traveling soul that keeps only the best of spaces and eras - the comfortable armchair of an aristocrat, the minimalist table, the cupboard that protects his treasure books behind glass doors, glazed bowls on the walls and flowered basil in the vase. The materials are natural - wood, stone, clay, leather, metal - and keep in touch with the area and the rural specifics, but modern comfort, although discreet, is ubiquitous and at the highest standards (the kitchen allows culinary performance and the bathrooms are comfortable and chic). In this way, the peasant house stands with its head held high, ready to win any competition with other houses in which the rustic remains anchored in tradition, rejecting the contemporary and the demands of the housing imposed by it. This proud and beautiful peasant house like a chic Maramures woman is young, being put into use in 2017 in a village that lives instinctively according to the principles of Slow Food - a quiet life style, in harmony with nature and traditions. It is designed for four inhabitants, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room in a comfortable area of 140 square meters. On sunny days, the sura has become the living room and is the favorite place for dining, reading, or stories, and the trees in the orchard - apples, plums, cherries - are ready to provide shade and trees for those thirsty for peace and well-being. The land of over 10000 sqm, part of the Natura 2000 protected area, provides privacy and space for future developments in harmony with the landscape. Here, for example, mowing is done by hand to preserve the rich flora with wild gladioli, carnivorous plants, and cotton buds that attract butterflies and insects of a rare diversity. The wildlife in the area is also impressive - brown bears, wolves, lynx, wild cats, otters, deer, eagles, and rare birds such as barn owls. Life in Botiza is regulated by field activities; the agrarian-pastoral calendar merges with the religious one and, if from Monday to Saturday the villagers worship the earth, on Sunday they put on white shirts and flared skirts and all take the path of the church; Botiza, in the middle of the Carpathians and 91 km from the airport in Baia Mare, is perhaps the last bastion of the authentic Maramures. In addition, the entrance to the property is like any other old Maramures one - a carved gate, an extraordinary work of art created by the famous craftsman Stan Ioan Pătraș from Săpânța Village.

All the presidents after 1990 lived in this area.

Constanţa, Judeţul Constanţa

US$404,100

The old Constanța, with its historic peninsula, filled with stories and the past of an extraordinary city, is revealed to us today through its architectural richness and the urban eclecticism. Ovidiu Square - the former Independence Square, just like a cornerstone, gathered around and coordinated the development and systematization of the streets that span the Peninsula. Even if today the end of Nicolae Titulescu street towards the Square is hidden by a row of buildings built during the communist era, it once used to connect the central building to Elisabeth Boulevard. The modernization of the area began towards the end of the nineteenth century, so that, after 1910-1920, the streets between the Central Square and the Port were systematized. On Titulescu Street (former Lascăr Catargiu Street in the interwar period), we find a Neo-Romanian villa built in the 1920s. Located in the proximity of the Ovidiu Square, the building seems to have been built after the completion of the communal palace (1922, today the palace hosts the Museum of National History and Archaeology), due to the fact it reminds of the Neo-Romanian style (Neobrâncovenesc) so eloquent in the palace. In fact, the architect who designed the palace, Victor Ştefănescu, became Constanța’s "house architect", supervising various other important projects: the Museum of Geology in Bucharest; The Palace of Arts in Carol Park, "Ion Jalea" Museum or even the Mosque "Carol I" in Constanta. We can assume that Ştefănescu could have been involved in the design of the present building, which is obviously integrated in the urban plan defined by the Mosque and the current Museum of History. The vintage photographs depict the Neo-Romanian Villa as a perspective of the former Lascăr Catargiu Street, the western part of the building being often reproduced in the postcards of that time. The house is located in the proximity of some emblematic buildings of the Peninsula, such as Hôtel d'Angleterre, Cabaret Britannia with Metropol Hotel, Carol I Mosque, Saint Anthony of Padua Church under the Roman - Catholic Parish of Constanța and "St. Peter and Paul" Cathedral.

Sinaia, Romania

US$414,800

1722 Sqft 4 2

The scent of the French influence can be found at every step in Sinaia, one of the most appreciated mountain resorts in Romania. Sinaia was and still remains the city built for the elites of Romanian society, with an atmosphere full of intellectual effervescence. And the Cumpatu neighborhood in Sinaia, a privileged place, nicknamed the "creation zone", concentrates a large part of the houses and villas where interesting people, writers, artists, musicians, met to create and relax. Personalities such as George Enescu, Dinu Lipatti, Nicolae Titulescu, Titu Maiorescu, considered Cumpatu a true refuge, where silence and fresh air represented the ingredients of a perfect creative session. Today, more than 100 years later, we encounter the same bohemian atmosphere, with charming houses and villas, full of charm and beautiful memories. The House of Writers in Cumpatu is a small architectural jewel, designed in Neo-Romanian style, during the 1930s. In those times, it represented the meeting place of the elites of the area, where the "duel of ideas" of the above-mentioned personalities took place. The porch supported by three-lobed columns of Byzantine inspiration, from where you can admire the view of the Bucegi Mountains, together with the window frames and the decorative stucco in the rooms, give an air of a fairy-tale house. It is the place where you would like to spend the rest of your life, away from the noise of car traffic, but very close to the center of the resort, surrounded by nature. It is located a short distance from the national road DN1, in the heart of the neighborhood, with access to a very little trafficked artery and a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains. It has been tastefully renovated by the current owner, on which occasion the plumbing and electrical have been changed, new windows and doors have been installed, the external walls have been lined with wadding, the bathrooms have been tiled with marble and all the sanitary ware has been replaced. It currently has 5 rooms, 2 bathrooms, various storage spaces and a free yard of approximately 250 meters with the possibility of parking two cars. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu

In a long and broad valley cut through thick woods stand few houses, clustered here and there, rather spread among large tracts of green land—on such land, with forest on three sides, a lover of green has built in 2007 a solid stone foundation on which he then aligned, horizontally, round, neat and straight logs in the shape of a house. A wide terrace, house to red geraniums, allows one to take possession of the property with a glance - everything is green, welcoming and alive; the vocabulary of the house does not include concrete, asphalt and plasterboard. Soft and warm logs are used inside as walls; mbroidered curtains, local pottery and a door painted with folk designs join the carved entrance gate and anchor the house in tradition; the computer and photovoltaic panels stand as symbols of the present. On the surrounding land, long branches hang heavy to the ground; somewhere in between them there is a bear watch shelter. Here at dusk there’s that ineffable feeling when the body feels the day slowing down and the soul vibrates in communion with nature. The ground floor means common spaces - living room, kitchen, dining area and bathroom. The corner stove promises to burn hot in the winter; in summer, the wood does its duty and keeps cool. The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. For summer days, the gazebo with grill/oven solves the eternal dilemma "what are we eating today", and the table tennis room breaks the tranquility with a little competitive spirit. When too much forest threatens the balance, the Sovata resort is 15 km away, ready to offer its attractions: lakes with chlorinated and sodium waters, restaurants or hiking on the Salt Mountain and Gurghiu Mountains, towards Vârful Cireșelu or Saca Hill; Praid, Corund, Odorheiu Secuiesc, Călimănesti, and Rimetea are not far away either. photo Florin Pepene
