The Abud Efendi Mansion, located on the Üsküdar Kandilli coast of the Istanbul Bosphorus and etched in memory by the iconic TV series Kurtlar Vadisi, has come back into the spotlight with its sale. It has been reported that 15.23% of the mansion is being offered for sale at a price of 170 million TL. The historical structure draws attention with its location surrounded by the blue waters of the Bosphorus. The building, which stands out among the Bosphorus mansions with its unique architecture, was constructed by Garabet Balyan, one of the important figures of Ottoman palace architecture, between 1835 and 1855. The structure, regarded as one of the distinguished mansions of the Bosphorus, is notable for its two-story wooden architecture, white facade cladding, and red-tiled roof.
LOCATED ON A 1,500 SQUARE METERS PLOT
The mansion was purchased by Mehmet Abud Efendi in 1900 and was used as the residence of the Abud Family until 1981. The structure, located on a plot of approximately 1,500 square meters, has a base area of 270 square meters and a total usable area of 540 square meters. The lower floor, built as a masonry structure, contains two separate boathouses, while the upper floor is shaped around a semi-rectangular hall.
Aerial images captured by a drone clearly showed the mansion's waterfront location and its wide pier. The symmetrical window arrangement, protruding sections, and the spacious terrace opening to the Bosphorus were highlighted in the overhead shots. The outbuilding next to the mansion and the wooded area in the backyard were also reflected in the images. The pier and marble wharf section extending along the coastline revealed the historical identity of the structure.
MANSION IDENTIFIED WITH THE SERIES
The mansion became widely recognized, especially through the scenes featured in the Kurtlar Vadisi series. The structure, which hosted council scenes symbolizing power and authority in the series, has become one of the iconic locations in television history over the years.
With the shares being put up for sale, it has been learned that the 15.23% share is being offered for sale at a price of 170 million TL. While the investment value of historical structures along the Bosphorus increases day by day, it is noted that this particular mansion holds a unique position due to both its historical background and its place in television memory.
