Büyükçekmece, Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, Turkey

A waterfront villa in Villa Mare, a gated seafront development in Güzelce, Büyükçekmece. The house stands directly on the shore, with its own large garden leading down to the water.

It measures 1,000 m² gross and 590 m² net over four floors, with 500 m² of private open ground. There are eight bedrooms, two reception rooms, six bathrooms and two separate kitchens, and a lift serves every floor.

The lower floor holds a gym, a laundry room, an ironing room, storage and a pantry, together with a guest suite with two en-suite bathrooms and the second kitchen. The top floor is given over to en-suite bedrooms with full sea views and a terrace balcony.

The villa has its own private swimming pool, enclosed and heated in winter and opened up in summer, so it is in use all year.

The complex itself offers indoor and outdoor social facilities, a shared outdoor pool, landscaped grounds with a long walking circuit, and its own stretch of coastline, under 24-hour security and camera surveillance.

The property is sixteen to twenty years old, heated by individual gas combi boiler, with open parking and a monthly service charge of 18,500 TL. It is sold vacant and unfurnished, with a floor-ownership title deed (kat mülkiyeti) and mortgage eligibility.
