One of Turkey's most valuable real estates, the 130-year-old magnificent Zeki Pasha Mansion with 23 rooms, is awaiting a buyer. Located in the most beautiful spot of the Bosphorus, this historic building, which stands out with its spacious garden, has been put up for sale by the family that owns it.
Known as Turkey's most expensive house, the Zeki Pasha Mansion, which has a Bosphorus view, 23 rooms, 5 living rooms, and 8 bathrooms, has become a symbol of the luxury real estate market for years. The family selling the mansion has authorized the real estate company in negotiations.
AGENTS CANNOT PRICE IT
Considering that other mansions on the Bosphorus are listed with prices ranging from 2 to 6 billion TL, comments have been made that the Zeki Pasha Mansion is "priceless."
THE PEARL OF THE BOSPHORUS WITH 130-YEAR-OLD CASTLE ARCHITECTURE
Located in Rumelihisarı, Sarıyer, near the foot of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the 130-year-old stone building, the Zeki Pasha Mansion, draws attention with its architecture. Considered one of the strikingly large structures of the Bosphorus, the building was constructed for Zeki Pasha, known as "Filinta Mustafa," one of the ministers of Sultan II. Abdulhamid Han. Designed by the famous architect of the time, Alexandre Vallaury, the structure stands out from other mansions with its Baroque influences and castle-like lines.
OWNED BY A FAMILY FROM TRABZON
It is noted that the mansion, currently owned by a family from Trabzon, has its most well-known heir as Meliha Baştımar. The five-story historical building can be accessed from both the garden and the sea side.
The mansion, built on an area of 510 square meters, offers a total of 2,489 square meters of closed usage area, including the basement. Each floor of the building, with a ceiling height ranging from 3 meters to 4.5 meters, contains 6 rooms, 5 of which have a Bosphorus view, a spacious central living room, a bathroom, a toilet, and kitchens.
