The living room is the real centerpiece here — at over 37sqm, it’s a genuinely large space, laid with marble-look flooring and opening onto a wraparound balcony filled with greenery. Floor-to-ceiling windows on both the living room and bedrooms bring in a lot of natural light, and several rooms look directly out onto mature trees, which is a nice touch for a central location.
The bedrooms are a good size by Shanghai standards — Bedroom A at 16sqm has room for a proper work desk alongside the bed, and Bedroom B has a distinctive patterned accent wall and its own built-in wardrobe wall. The dedicated study is a useful extra room for a home office or guest space, and there’s a separate 4.2sqm storage room, which is a genuinely rare find in an older apartment.
A dedicated sunroom/reading nook off the main living area — bathed in natural light with a view onto the surrounding trees — currently serves as a peaceful spot for plants and a home library, and could easily be reworked into a home office or breakfast nook.
A note on current condition: the apartment is currently owner-occupied, so photos reflect a lived-in home rather than a staged one — expect the finished, professionally photographed version to look considerably tidier once the owner moves out or the space is prepared for showings.
