Sea View Flat — Maltepe, Asian Istanbul

Maltepe is one of those neighbourhoods you discover and then can't quite understand why no one talks about it more. The Asian side of Istanbul, a coastal strip with promenades along the waterfront, parks, open-air concert venues, cafés — and that particular feeling that the city here moves at a human pace. None of the chaos of the European side. Just space, air, and a horizon that stretches as far as you want to look.

In front of you: the Sea of Marmara. On the horizon — the Princes' Islands, still as a painting. This isn't a view you glance at once a week. It's your window, your balcony, your morning coffee before anything else begins.

I've had clients who always said location is one thing, but the logistics of everyday life are another. Here, both work perfectly. Sabiha Gökçen Airport is 23 km away, the Eurasia Tunnel 16 km, the 15 July Martyrs Bridge 18 km. All of Istanbul — both sides — is within reach, but you come back here, where it's quiet.

The complex comprises five blocks and 458 flats — with everything you actually need, so you're never looking for it elsewhere. Swimming pools, a sauna, a Turkish bath for the days when you just want to be. A tennis court, basketball court, squash court for the days when you want to wear yourself out. A café, playgrounds, communal walking paths and a garden. Reception, concierge, 24-hour security and CCTV — a detail that matters especially when you're not here year-round. There are also electric vehicle charging stations and solar energy systems.

The flat is ready from day one. Built-in kitchen, smart home system, PVC windows, balcony and terrace, wardrobe, en-suite bathroom with both a shower cabin and a bath, utility room, advanced water purification system, centralised satellite TV, steel front door. You walk in and you live — no compromises, no "just one more renovation" phase.

Asian Istanbul is a choice for someone who wants the city within reach but doesn't want to live in the thick of it. Someone who looks out at the sea in the morning and is right where everything happens by afternoon.
