Beneath the old linden and chestnut trees, which reign on the streets of Cotroceni, an idyllic Bucharest is revealed to us. Here, in the neighborhood of the buildings which carry their history, the daily dynamics of the city are intertwined with a refined lifestyle. The neighborhood retains its authentic twentieth-century charm and is especially known for the remarkable historical figures and contemporary personalities, who had the pleasure of calling it "home". In Cotroceni, in addition to the houses with special architecture, we discover the friendly atmosphere of the streets guarded by secular trees, the proximity of restaurants and bohemian tea-houses, but also important tourist attractions, including the Romanian National Opera, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Law, the Botanical Garden, or the oases of greenery in the Izvor and Eroilor parks. On Costache Negri Street we come across a distinguished historical villa, built in 1913, completely renovated and consolidated in 2001. It has a plot of 680 sqm, of which 273 sqm are occupied by the villa and 40 sqm by the double garage, and over 350 sqm of garden area and space for relaxation. The width of the main alley allows access for 3 other cars, with additional parking space in the yard. The villa is built on four levels: basement, ground floor and two more floors. The basement comprises the technical area, storage spaces, and laundry room. The interior space fascinates from the first moment, through a well-calibrated somptuosity. The ground floor includes the imposing living room of 93 sqm, framed with roman columns. Also, the ground floor accommodates the office (with bedroom function), a spacious and carefully equipped kitchen, a toilet, a hallway and, last but not least, the interior staircase. The first floor benefits from the same generous spaces as the ground floor. More specifically, it includes four very large rooms, a 30 sqm bathroom with double access, two balconies and a terrace of 27 sqm. On the second floor there is an apartment that consists, in its entirety, of a living room, an office, two bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, the balcony and the terrace. The apartment can also be accessed independently, thanks to another staircase. One of the key aspects of the villa is the generous and well-thought-out unfolding of the space, which can adapt to multiple requirements. Moreover, its location in a great area of Bucharest outlines the value of a lasting investment. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu
