Lim Bahce — apartments in Cengelkoy, Istanbul

Lim Bahçe is a complex in Çengelköy on the Asian shore, minutes from the Bosphorus. Layouts run from 2.5+1 to 3+1 including a duplex, from 167 to 217 sqm — every apartment here is a large one. Around 2,000 sqm of landscaped grounds, and some apartments look onto the strait.

Location: about 12 minutes to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge and to the ferry pier, from which the Bosphorus can be crossed by boat or metrobus. Çengelköy itself is an old waterfront neighbourhood with a promenade and tea gardens.

Facilities: children's playground, fitness and spa, sauna, indoor parking for more than 100 cars, garden, water purification system, central heating, balconies and generous terraces, 24/7 camera security.

The partner's list of nearby landmarks contains a clear error: it cites Haramidere metrobus station and an E-5 slip road a couple of kilometres away — but those are on the European side, and this project is on the Asian one. Those distances have not been carried over here and need to be requested again. The partner marks the project as suitable for Turkish citizenship by investment: USD 400,000 held for three years, on the official appraisal.
