Elegant Old-World Residence in Colaba

About This Residence

Behind its façade in one of Colaba’s most storied buildings, the apartment retains the details that define true old-world Mumbai homes — coffered plaster ceilings, wood-framed casement windows with their original small square panes, and a round central column marking out the main living area. A dining room anchored by a long oval table and eight upholstered chairs sits ready for family gatherings, while a crystal-style chandelier and dark built-in cabinetry add a note of formality to the principal rooms.

The bathroom has been refreshed in grey-veined stone, with a glass-enclosed shower and a vessel sink set into a stone-topped vanity, while bedrooms retain solid wood-paneled doors and brass fittings throughout. It is a home that rewards a sympathetic restoration — one dedicated car park is included, a rarity in this part of the city.
