Mansion for Sale in Istanbul, Heybeliada-Adalar, Turkey

Ottoman Timber Mansion in Heybeli Island / Istanbul

The mansion is comprising of Four stunning apartments in a Historic Timber House, which was once a dormitory for the Monks living on the Island attending the nearby Monastery, and it is now used as a boutique apartment holiday rental. This building has two parts, the right half and the left half, each one looks symmetrical. Left half is also for sale separately but the restored right side which is the one we are selling, is in fact much larger .
These 3&2 bedroom apartments, which are full of original detail and charm, have been completely re-furbished and re-designed from top to bottom. Each apartment boasts its own unique qualities and energy and they include Huge Ornate Living Rooms and Bedrooms, Private Gardens, Open&Covered Terraces and Sea&Mountain Views.
Although each floor is independent from the other with its own gas central heating, water and electricity, the development was done with the notion of friends or family sharing the overall property. Thus the house will be sold complete.
The plot is 320m2 and the building itself is almost 500m2.

It is located on the Island's main street on the way to the prestigious Halki Palace Hotel, two doors away from the Island Museum (Once In"nü’s house) and just a five minute walk to the gorgeous Private Beach Club. The building, which stands at over 60 ft tall is one of the most impressive buildings on the Island and on the street.

Heybeliada is the second largest in a group of four Islands known as "The Prince's Islands" found in the Marmara Sea off the coast of Istanbul. Heybeli has all of the Amenities of Büyükada, the largest of the four islands, but far less tourist footfall in the summer months. With the absensce of motorized traffic on all the islands, it is like stepping back in time and is an amazing contrast to the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, which, with the fast boat is only 30 minutes from Bostanci and 50 minutes to Kabatas.

This beautiful old timber house was built in 1875 as 'Grand Bretagne Hotel'.
This building has two parts, the right half and the left half, each one looks symmetrical, but this restored side is in fact much larger .
The current owners are British citizens. One is a filmmaker and the other a frequently publicized haute couture fashion designer. The building has been restored with enthusiasm and beautifully furnished by the owners, with great respect to it's history. The renovation was completed in August 2008, and is fully insured for building and contents. Kitchens and bathrooms are fitted with luxury units. Many of the furnishings have been hand picked by the owners in Europe and imported.
