Property Description: This very special property was designed in 1936 by the famous Romanian architect Ghica and completed by 1938 for the equally famous Romanian poet Gogan and his wife (photos in presentation are the widow Gogan in the parlor of the house). Design followed the popular Neo Romanian style which incorporated elements of traditional Romanian design as well as Spanish and Ottoman influences in regard to an indoor / outdoor feel and the use of deep terraces and covered patios for the summer heat. Materials throughout the mansion are special and original including the doors (walnut), floors (massive slabs of local marble and intricately designed wood flooring), the oak staircase and other elements. The house escaped the looting which was common towards the end of the communist era because of its status as an ambassador residence throughout the period. The house is 1,000 square meters, sitting on a plot of 822 sqm with 500 square meters of free land. Ground floor was designed for servants quarters, garage, working kitchen and other utilitarian purposes. Upstairs is the ballroom, parlor, office, large kitchen and toilets. Second floor holds four full bedrooms and bathrooms. The attic has a high enough roof clearing to be used. Basement holds a number of rooms and a wine cellar.
Neighborhood Description: On a quiet street. We love the Icoanei neighborhood because of the mix of interesting people. Always popular with the well-educated professional class and most recently the home base for media and design professionals as well as a popular neighborhood for embassies and diplomatic housing. Steps from the cultural heart of the city, enjoying two parks, a good farmer`s market, lots of the best restaurants and specialty food shops. It`s a neighborhood for people who enjoy living.
