Inside Sachin Tendulkar's Rs 100 Crore Bandra Home: The Mansion With A 50-Car Basement And A Temple For His Bat

Long before this property became cricket's most photographed address, 19-A Perry Cross Road in Bandra was known as Dorab Villa - a bungalow built in 1926 and owned by the Wardens family before it changed hands. Sachin Tendulkar bought the property in 2007 but moving in was not quick. Architect Prakash Sapre was brought in to rework the structure to the family's specifications, and it took four years of renovation before Sachin and Anjali finally moved in, in 2011.Also Read: Inside Kangana Ranaut's Rs 30 Crore Manali House: A French Colonial Retreat in the Himalayas Which She Calls Kartikeya Niwas The heritage shell stayed largely intact even as the interiors were rebuilt. And way before anyone knew, the heritage villa was reimagined while its

architectural character was preserved, giving the home an unusual mix of pre-independence bones and contemporary fittings. The finished bungalow spans more than 6,000 square feet across three floors, with two basements and a large terrace, and looks out over the Arabian Sea, one of the reasons the stretch counts among Mumbai's most coveted addresses.

Rooms That Also Work As A Scrapbook

Step past a dark wooden door carved with geometric patterns, set off by marble flooring and potted plants on either side, and the house opens into a living room built around restraint. It has been done up in white and brown, with plush earthy couches, colourful cushions, glossy cream marble flooring, a large leather armchair, and ivory lamps.

A more formal sitting area in the home boasts terracotta sofas, soaring arches, Turkish carpets, and vibrant artworks in green and yellow hues. This is where modern design meets Indian heritage - with a little brass sculpture flair for good measure.High above the bustling streets of Bandra lies a serene terrace. This is where Sachin starts his mornings with yoga and ends them with meditation. Arjun often joins him for a workout, because even cricket royalty need their daily dose of stretches and squats.

Spirituality gets its own corner too: A dedicated temple room where Tendulkar keeps his cricket bat alongside religious idols. Outdoors, the mood shifts entirely. The garden - reportedly his favourite part of the house - has rows of palm trees, a small pond, tropical plants, and cane furniture where the family gathers, while the terrace, lined with palm trees and vines and finished in grey, is set up as a calm space for yoga or meditation.

The Basement Out-flexing The Garage

If the living space is all about family life, the basement speaks to a different obsession. It is built to park close to 50 cars, and the collection inside backs up the number - reports list a custom red BMW i8 worth around Rs 2.6 crore, a Porsche 911 Turbo S valued near Rs 3.35 crore, and a BMW X5 M50d imported specifically for him as the first of its variant in India.

The property's value has moved as fast as its owner once did between the wickets. What was a Rs 39 crore purchase in 2007 is now estimated at over Rs 100 crore, and Tendulkar is believed to have spent an additional Rs 25 crore on interiors alone. The Bandra house is not the only Tendulkar address in the city, either - the family also owns a 1,600 sq ft apartment in Rustomjee Seasons, BKC, bought for Rs 7.15 crore in 2018 and registered in Anjali's name, with interiors designed by Singapore-based David Tay. The Bandra home, however, remains private: it's not open for public tours, though fans can view the exterior from Perry Cross Road.
