Khaberni - Real estate agencies in Istanbul have put up for sale a 15.23% investment stake in the historic "Aboud Afandi" Palace, famous globally for being a filming location of one of the most famous Turkish series that invaded Arab and international screens.
The price of this stake has been set at 170 million Turkish Lira (approximately 4 million US Dollars), opening the door for investors to own one of the most valuable historic properties located directly on the shores of the Bosphorus in the "Kandilli" area on the Asian side of Uskudar.
The icon of Turkish drama
The palace is linked in the memories of millions to love and romance scenes, as it was the main house that witnessed the story of "Nour and Mohannad" in the famous series "Nour" (Gümüş), starring the star Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Songül Öden.
Its fame did not stop at romantic drama, it was also the iconic headquarters for "the council" meetings in the action series "Valley of the Wolves" (Kurtlar Vadisi), making it a symbol of power and prestige in Turkish popular culture.
Unique historical and architectural value
The history of this architectural edifice dates back to the period between 1835 and 1855, and was designed by the famous architect "Garabet Balyan", one of the most prominent names in the architecture of Ottoman palaces.
The palace is characterized by the following:
- Space: It covers an area of about 1500 square meters.
- Design: It consists of two floors with a total area of 540 square meters (270 meters per floor).
- Structure: Built of "Kagir" (a mix of stone and wood) featuring a white facade and a red tile roof, with symmetrical windows and classical architectural details.
- Facilities: The ground floor includes "boat docks" (private boat parking), and the upper floor is distinguished by a central hall surrounded by rooms, in addition to a marble pier extending directly onto the waters of the Bosphorus.
Family and Investment Legacy
The ownership of the palace was transferred in 1900 to "Mohammad Aboud Afandi", and it was used by his family as a residence until 1981.
Today, offering part of its ownership is seen as a strategic move in the luxury real estate market, due to the extreme rarity of historic palaces for sale along the Bosphorus line, which consistently elevates their investment value.
Recent aerial shots show the palace in its strategic location adjacent exactly to the strait waters without any separators, with a lush back garden and additional residential annexes, making it an artistic masterpiece that combines the charm of Ottoman history and the luxury of a unique geographical location in the heart of Istanbul.
