A Nearly Completed Renovation: Our Family Villa in NeoGölpark, Arnavutköy

In the tranquil district of Arnavutköy, just on the outskirts of Istanbul, our family villa is undergoing a stunning transformation. Nestled within the secure and picturesque NeoGölpark residential complex, this villa is in the final stages of a comprehensive renovation project. With an impressive 1,000 square meter plot and a design tailored for privacy, elegance, and comfort, this property is being carefully prepared to welcome a large family of eight.

The renovation process, though still ongoing, has already redefined the character of the villa. From the outside, the house is surrounded by mature trees, providing complete privacy and creating a serene atmosphere where nature meets modern living. These tall trees act like natural walls, offering a tranquil and protected space for the future residents. The landscape is still being finalized, with the garden and outdoor relaxation areas currently under careful redesign. Once finished, the lush garden will complement the peaceful surroundings, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, or simply enjoying a morning coffee in peace.

Inside, the villa's renovation speaks volumes about attention to detail and refined taste. The interiors are being shaped with an elegant blend of contemporary design and functional luxury. One of the most remarkable features is the heated flooring system that has been installed throughout the house. This underfloor heating provides both comfort and efficiency, ensuring that every room is warm and welcoming even during Istanbul’s colder months.

Another standout feature of the villa is the lighting. Every room boasts a newly selected chandelier each one carefully chosen not only for illumination but also for its artistic and decorative value. These chandeliers contribute to the home’s distinctive character, with a mix of modern and classical styles, depending on the room. Some offer minimalistic elegance, while others are bold statements of craftsmanship, helping to establish a unique identity for each living space.

Functionality has been a major focus in the design process. The villa includes eight bathrooms, one in each bedroom, offering maximum privacy and convenience for a large family. Each bathroom has been fitted with high-quality fixtures, spacious showers or bathtubs, and stylish tiles that reflect both durability and aesthetics. Whether it’s the master suite or a guest room, each space ensures that residents and guests can enjoy their own personal comfort zone.

The entire project is being overseen and managed by my uncle, who has personally selected every element of the renovation. From the choice of materials to the smallest design accents, nothing has been left to chance. His vision has been clear from the beginning: to create a warm, welcoming family home that combines the beauty of luxury living with the practicality needed for everyday life. His involvement has ensured that the villa reflects not just good taste but also a personal touch that makes the space feel lived-in and loved, even before it is fully completed.

At the heart of the property lies a private swimming pool, perfect for summer relaxation. The pool area will be surrounded by greenery and possibly a wooden deck, creating an inviting space for swimming, sunbathing, or hosting poolside gatherings. Once the landscaping is complete, the pool will undoubtedly become one of the most cherished spots in the home.

Beyond its features, the villa’s scale and layout are designed with large family life in mind. With spacious common areas, wide hallways, high ceilings, and open-plan living spaces, the house can comfortably accommodate gatherings and celebrations while still offering private corners for rest and reflection. The kitchen, living room, and dining area are all being modernized, and we are particularly excited about the custom-designed cabinetry and marble countertops that are soon to be installed.

The NeoGölpark site itself enhances the value of the property. Known for its security, cleanliness, and natural beauty, the area offers peace of mind and a strong sense of community. Its proximity to natural landscapes such as lakes and green parks makes it an ideal place for families who want to live away from the chaos of the city but still within reach of Istanbul’s amenities.

We expect the home renovation to be fully completed in the coming weeks. The final touches to the garden, exterior lighting, and possibly a few pieces of built-in furniture are all that remain. Once done, the villa will be more than just a luxurious house it will be a sanctuary for our family. A place where grandparents, children, and grandchildren can all come together under one roof, enjoying comfort, nature, and the warmth of a truly personal home.

This renovation has been a journey an investment not only in property but in the future of our family life. With its thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and inviting atmosphere, our villa in NeoGölpark stands as a testament to what a home can be when built with care, purpose, and love.
