This vintage bungalow, acquired by her father approximately 30 years ago, holds significant sentimental value as it was lovingly designed and furnished by her parents. Kothari shared that while the property requires some repairs, its intrinsic charm remains evident through its intricate woodwork and antique decorative pieces.
Her mother, an art and antique enthusiast, played a key role in furnishing the bungalow with pieces collected over time, including a chest estimated to be 150 years old. The living space is adorned with wooden window panels and terracotta tiles, complemented by a cream sofa and blue accent chairs. The dining room echoes this aesthetic with its wooden table and distinctive wall-mounted china collection, a space where the family gathered.

The bungalow boasts a spacious terrace with a swing, offering serene views of a nearby lake. Kothari expressed a desire to restore the bungalow to its former glory and host friends there once renovations are complete.
