Own a small part of Turkey's ancient Ottoman history with this stunning Bosphorus front Yali mansion for sale in Istanbul, located in the esteemed district of Beykoz close to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge on the Asian side of the city.
Beykoz is the Sariyer of the Asian side of the city, wealthy and green stretching along the Bosphorus to the north of Uskudar all the way up to the Black Sea coastline, full of lush green forests with the Bosphorus shoreline offering many of the old water front mansions, that when offered to the Istanbul real estate market are seen with massive price tags of seven or eight figures of any currency.
Like much of Istanbul, the Beykoz area has a wonderful history, with its first known inhabitants around 2,700 years ago, though it is uncertain to this day who founded the area. It was then captured by the Turks approximately 700 years ago and was transformed into the elegant and wealthy district that it is today, often chosen by families to raise children close to nature for a healthier lifestyle.
With all this said, the Beykoz area is only a short drive to the Asian Side's city centre of Kadikoy, reached via 20-25 minutes' drive and also has easy access to European Istanbul via regular ferry services from various terminals and also via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge.
