Four Bed Apartment in Grand Villa - Cotroceni

Property Description: "What a gem" I said under my breath when the administrator opened up for me and showed me into the grand living room with fireplace, massive oak beams and French doors leading out onto the terrace and private garden of 400 sqm (4,000 square feet). The floor, the owner told me when he arrived ten minutes later with a big smile on his face, was English oak put in when his grandfather built the mansion in 1938. The villa was designed by an Italian architect and follows the Florentine style with large well lite rooms, a discreet display of wealth (nothing over the top and too ornate), the comfortable marriage of indoors and outdoors playing with each other and a good-sized kitchen where the magic takes place. The guest bathroom was a bit dated and the landlord will improve starting with a big walk-in shower. I list the property as four bedrooms, including the two formal bedrooms, the study (could be a guest bedroom) and the well lite and bohemian attic with toilet. But, the offer could be more (for a higher rent) as the Landlord also owns the raised basement which has two small apartments. This offer however includes the raised ground floor, garage, private garden of 400 sqm, as well as the attic which the former French tenant used as a painting studio.

Neighborhood Description: Beautiful area of the city with a park, botanical garden, the opera house, tennis courts available for rent and wonderful bistro style restaurants with terraces and interesting people discussing politics and culture. This is Sector 5, so too far south for families with children attending the international schools, north of the city, but could work for children attending IBSB, the private French International School, or Ioanid International School (which are all downtown).
