Longer brochure description

Step back into interwar elegance with this 1930 villa, set on a sunny, tree-lined street in Cotroceni. The house still preserves several authentic period elements that give it great character and a strong basis for a sympathetic restoration:

• Original features kept: wide oak parquet floors, decorative plaster cornices and ceiling medallions, a central wooden staircase with turned balusters, original stained-glass transom windows, some built-in cupboards and an original fireplace surround. The façade shows the villa’s classic proportions and sculpted details typical of the era.

• Layout & scale: formal ground-floor reception rooms (living room, dining room and study), separate kitchen area, several bedrooms on the upper floor and an attic level with potential to convert. Private garden at the rear with mature trees and space for terrace/parking.

A sympathetic restoration would include:

• Detailed structural survey and damp/wood-rot inspection.

• Replacement or repair of the roof and gutters.

• Full update of electrical, plumbing and heating systems to current standards.

• Restoration of original floors, cornices and stained glass where possible; careful repair or replication of damaged decorative elements.

• Window and door refurbishment or historically appropriate replacements with improved thermal performance.

• Modern insulation, ventilation and discreetly integrated services to meet comfort and energy standards.

• Landscaping of the garden and creation of usable outdoor living areas or parking.
