Award-Winning Art House | Historic Charm | House in Balıkesir
4 Bedroom House in Ayvalik, Balıkesir
Welcome to one of the most extraordinary homes in Ayvalık.
Located in the heart of Küçükköy, this remarkable historic stone house is much more than a place to stay—it is a living expression of art, history, and creativity. Once the studio and exhibition space of a renowned artist, the house has hosted numerous exhibitions, creative gatherings, and cultural events over the years.

Guests are invited to enjoy the artwork throughout their stay, and selected pieces are also available for purchase if something particularly captures your attention.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its custom-designed kitchen bar, handcrafted as an artistic centerpiece that reflects the creative identity of the property.
Another exceptional detail is the collection of 14 original historic wooden doors, carefully preserved during the restoration. Each has its own character and history, adding another layer of authenticity to this one-of-a-kind home.
