Luxurious Four Bedroom Apartment in Dorobanti

Property Description: One of those apartments that comes along far too rarely and just forces us to blurt out "why can`t they build like this today!" Built in 1946 for a very wealthy family by the Romanian architect Emil Calinescu, this 385 square meter apartment on the first floor of a large villa succeeds in projecting grandness, while also being very cozy and comfortable. It really is special. The materials include original solid white-oak flooring arranged in a herringbone pattern throughout the common areas and bedrooms, marble in the bathrooms and entry hall in massive 1.5 square meter blocks (pink Ruschita Marble in the bathroom, white Arabescato in the reception), solid brass chandeliers, gold-leafed touches in the ceiling and a solid white marble fireplace. This might all sound like it`s a bit over the top, but when seen in person and with the patina of time it all comes together beautifully. The layout includes an entry hall opening up into a large open space of about 90 square meters including the living room, dinning room and a quite parlor. Off this space is the terrace (suitable for a group of ten around a table) and three bedrooms (one might have been the study). In the back of the house are the bathrooms (three), the kitchen and two more bedrooms.

Neighborhood Description: Dorobanti is the preferred neighborhood of the diplomatic community and corner-office corporate officers. The building is very close to Piata Victoria and about 300 meters from Kiseleff Park. Lots of restaurants, shops and things to do in this leafy and very beautiful neighborhood.
