About the Villa and Neighborhood This art deco heritage villa, owned for generations by the same well known family, is truly a historic and landmark property in the old and established neighborhood of Jubilee Park in Tollygunge, South Kolkata. It has recently undergone comprehensive repairs, restoration, renovation and painting and is a living relic of Kolkata’s Colonial past featuring among other things, 15 foot ceilings, unique red floors, antique Burma teak furniture, decorative items and books from across the world, bohemian crystal sconces and chandeliers, a beautiful manicured garden with a marble patio and flagstone pathway that is lit up each night and a covered car portico. The villa also offers modern day conveniences such as air conditioning in all the living spaces, hot water heaters in the spacious bathrooms and strong fiberoptic internet/wifi connectivity. The neighborhood is a mix of single family homes and apartments and boasts one of the city’s oldest mosques where if lucky one can hear excellent qawwali music typically every Thursday night. Being tucked away from the main road, the neighborhood attracts a variety of Kolkata’s quintessential street vendors who make their daily rounds selling fresh produce, household items, street food as well as a gamut of service providers like locksmiths, cobblers, upholsters, implement sharpeners and recyclers. There are also a host of small grocery stores, local cafes, and a full-fledged market within a 5-10 minute walk where you can find pretty much anything you need. The villa is located opposite the Tollygunge metro station and is very well served by all forms of public transportation including buses, taxis, rideshares, cycle rickshaws and three wheeler tuk-tuks. It is virtually across the street from the Tollygunge Club, a 5 minute walk to the Royal Calcutta Golf Club and a 15 minute walk to the famous Tollywood studios, the Japanese Consulate and the Sangeet Research Academy which is open to the public and routinely hosts some of the finest Indian classical music concerts.
