Lakeside Haven, Jayamahal

A heritage 5BHK bungalow on one of Jayamahal's quietest lanes, backing the Palace Grounds — where peacocks still call in the morning and the air feels two degrees cooler. The home sits on a 4,800 sq ft plot with a portico for three cars, a mango-shaded lawn, and a verandah that wraps around the living room. Inside, 4,200 sq ft of unhurried space: tall ceilings, Burma teak doors, Kota stone verandah and a kitchen that has fed three generations.

Owners have lovingly retrofitted the home — new plumbing and wiring (2023), modular kitchen with granite counters, and two bathrooms renovated with modern fittings while keeping the vintage character elsewhere. Three bedrooms upstairs, two down, plus a study. Separate staff quarter and a borewell with Cauvery backup. BBMP A-khata, EC clear since 1988.
