A Touch of the Hamptons North of Bucharest

$1.7 MILLION (1.5 MILLION EUROS)

This three-bedroom villa is on the southern shore of Lake Snagov, a popular weekend retreat about 20 miles north of Bucharest, the capital and commercial center of Romania.

The property is three quarters of an acre and includes a two-bedroom, 860-square-foot loft above the garage; a free-standing, 250-square-foot studio unit; and a long wooden dock, boat garage and pontoon for fun on the lake.

The 3,500-square-foot main house, completed in 2009, was built with reinforced concrete and brick, with an orange ceramic roof and a white facade. The front door opens to a foyer, with a small bedroom immediately to the left. Straight ahead is a larger interior hall with a winding staircase, built-in bookcases and a double-height ceiling. Continuing through that second hall, a broad doorway leads to the living room, which has a whimsically designed fireplace with firewood storage built into the wall.

Inspiration for the home’s interior décor came from the sellers’ time in living in the United States, said Dana Barbu, an agent with the Bucharest-based real estate company Regatta, which has the listing.
