47G – Ferreira House

More than 200 years old, this house is the ancestral property of James Ferreira. James and his mother Thelma, 86 years of age, are now the only residents of this house. Initially, James’ parents Owen and Thelma lived here, where they brought up their children Susan, Owen, Michelle, James, Merise, Ian and a pair of twins – Greg and Gary. Before Thelma married Owen and came into the house, she had the entire house and painted – which took almost two years to complete.
James still has a vivid description of the decor – soaring flamingoes on the walls of his living room, scampering bunnies and fawns adorned the nurseries and million of silver stars shone down from the ceilling of the master bedroom. A fashion designer by profession, James works from home. He restores old furniture and the house is full of his magnificent antique collection. His terrace garden that he has planeted himself is one of his favourite places.

James,
Wow, this is amazing to see. What an excellent job. Neville Fernandes just gave me and Joe (D’Cunha) the site and we went through all the pictures and felt nostalgic. Oh good old Khotachiwadi. However, what happened to Celine’s place 47D no mention has been made is it in ruins????
Best wishes to you and your mom.
