Istanbul waterside mansion home to UK PM's great-grandfather on sale for $96M
An Istanbul waterside mansion in which the grandfather of newly-elected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson once lived has been put on sale for 550 million Turkish liras ($96.2 million). Named the Zeki Paşa Waterside Mansion, the chateau-like house is considered to be one of the most expensive real estates in the world. It was built for Ottoman field marshal Muşir Zeki Paşa, and different families lived in it over time. Featuring a panoramic view of the Bosporus from the Rumelihisarı district on the European side, the mansion has 23 bedrooms and eight bathrooms spread along five floors. It is currently the largest seaside mansion along the Bosporus. Tourist guide and historian Saffet Tonguç told broadcaster NTV that the mansion was constructed by French-Ottoman Architect Alexandre Vallaury in the second half of the 19th century. |
