Situated right on the Bosporus, this cozy, modern apartment is immersed in spectacular views of the city worthy of Sultans. It’s truly breathtaking to enjoy your morning coffee on a comfortable sofa while gazing at iconic monuments and the ferries cruising along. When you’re ready to head out to explore, the touristic epicenter of Taksim Square, posh streets of Nişantaşı district or the recently modernized hip Karaköy neighborhood are all awaiting to entertain you.
The building is named Samibey, built by and named after my late grandfather Dr. Zülfü Sami Özgen and served as the family’s main residence for over 30 years. This first-floor apartment has recently been completely refurbished with new furniture and equipment for the comfort and pleasure of our guests.
The 90m2 apartment has been re-designed to accommodate a modern open kitchen – living room setting for the purpose of convenience and coziness. The doorway opens to the center of this area. As you enter the space you find the living room and the dining area situated on your right, facing the Bosporus and the kitchen in front, facing the garden. The living room area houses a dinner table, comfortable sofas around a coffee table and a TV with cable. The kitchen area is equipped with new appliances such as stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, coffee makers (filter and Turkish), kettle, toaster, pots and pans, plates, cutlery, utensils and basic cooking ingredients. A laundry/utility area also has a washing machine and an iron as well as extra towels.
Two full bathrooms are located on either side of a hallway that leads to the rear of the apartment with a shower in the smaller bathroom and a bathtub in the larger one. Both bathrooms have been modernized for guests’ hygiene and comfort.
All three bedrooms are located towards the rear end of this hallway with one of them boasting a balcony overlooking the garden. One of the bedrooms has a king bed and the other two has double beds all with fresh linens, extra pillows and blankets for those guests that seek added comfort and warmth, as well as ample wardrobe space for heavy packers. All three rooms have brand new A/C units for those hot summer days.
A large communal garden located on the ground floor of the building is available for the pleasure of our guests along with other residents, presenting ample green grass to lie on and an assortment of trees to relax under.
