Property Description: Designed, built and owned by an Australian developer with Romanian family connections, the house resembles a modern mansion we would be less surprised to find in Sydney, Santa Monica, Phuket, or Cape Town. This is a sprawling low-slung design that hugs the hill with 580 usable square meters under roof and another 1,500 square meters of free land. The mansion features special touches such as a 108 square meter infinity pool (18x6), a twelve person Jacuzzi, a 35 square meter cinema room, a tournament size tennis court, automatic metallic blinds, under-floor heating throughout, beautiful broad-plank oak flooring and a 100 square meter master-suite which includes a 20 square meter walk-in closet, a study and a large bathroom with a sunken bath-tub and a large safety-glass enclosed shower. The lawn, terrace, courts and grounds are approximately 1,500 square meters. The layout of the house has the entrance and garage facing North which allows the common space living-room, kitchen and terraces to face South.
Neighborhood Description: Corbeanca is very much a work in progress neighborhood with a lot of homes in construction. However, when you look at Corbeanca which is up the road from Pipera, I think you look at what Pipera should have been if the different developers and planners had perhaps worked better together in the late 90's....perhaps because Corbeanca was developed later it had the opportunity to learn from the mistakes and do a better job? The roads seem wider, the plots bigger, lack of privacy and congestion are not issues and it just feels more like a well planned American bedroom community. Romanians have the perception that Corbeanca is far away (perhaps because Bucharest is such a compact city - the most densely populated capital city in Europe), but the truth is that the Baneasa Mall is only 10 minutes down the road and the American School is just 15 minutes away. These are hardly daunting distance for most Americans and other expatriates, but locals will sometimes wonder. Besides the benefits of a leafier, quieter, better organized neighborhood you also get damn good value for money compared to Pipera which we think is on average about a 50% more expensive on a like for like basis. This house is in a quiet area of Corbeanca over-looking one of the lakes. It has five neighbors on the same street.
