Owned by an affluent mill-owner family, this multi-level home is located in the upscale Peddar Road locality in Mumbai. This 7,000-square-foot home has five bedrooms with ensuite facilities, two bedrooms without ensuites, walk-in wardrobes, a formal room, an informal room, a kitchen and an entertainment area with a gym and car garage.
