These houses are the examples built with Hımış and Bağdadi techniques. Generally, they are side-by-side, terraced houses. Yalıboyu Houses represent the most attractive examples of them. active the coast of the Yeşilırmak are these houses, built active the historical ramparts of the castle with sun-dried bricks and the roofs covered with grooved tiles. They carry wholly the features of traditional Ottoman houses and are in harmony with Amasya’s historical identity.
These houses are built active basements as one otherwise two-storey buildings. In some houses ‘Şahniş’ is built either on the first floor or active the second floor. They usually have courtyards also gardens. The garden is in the middle, also the rooms are separated as male and female rooms. The inner piece of the house is closed to passer-bys. This state of organism closed in other buildings is sometimes made inclusive of high garden walls.
The second floors of the houses are generally bay windowed. As a effect, these windows both maintain the symmetrical structure of the house and create more room. On the other hand, these houses are enlarged by props put into the walls called ‘eliböğründe’ and in this method the inner parts pf the houses are provided with comfort and universe.
Thanks to these props , the second floors which are made more outward, wider and brighter encompass more windows in proportion to the first floors. The windows are projecting and each is into groups of three. In front of the windows are wooden cages to prevent the inner piece of the house since being seen. Daily existence is spent inside the rooms called sofas. In these rooms are overall fireplace, anything used intended making drinks such as tea, coffee or sherbet (a Turkish traditional sweet drink), built-in cupboards, shelves and platform used as a sofa. Besides these things, there are not any baths into most of the houses except a few ones.

Apart from the units inside the houses, there are some units , essential for daily life into the garden and into the courtyard. Among these are water-wells also furnaces.
