Overview
Tucked away on historic Yuyuan Road – one of Shanghai’s most beloved streets – this third-floor lane house apartment offers a rare combination of space, character, and modern comfort. Situated on the Jing’an/Old Xuhui border, the property benefits from the best of both districts: the charm of the Former French Concession and the convenience of Jing’an.
The unit is a “一门关” (yī mén guān) – a private, self-contained apartment within a larger lane house compound, with its own entrance and no shared circulation with neighbors. This provides exceptional privacy while maintaining the character of historic Shanghai living.
Stunning 5-Meter High Ceiling
The apartment’s most dramatic feature is its 5-meter high ceiling (挑高5米) in the main living area. This soaring height creates:
An extraordinary sense of space and volume
Abundant natural light from tall windows
Possibilities for mezzanine, loft-style living, or dramatic art display
A feeling of grandeur rarely found in lane house apartments
North-South Cross Ventilation
The 南北通透 (north-south through ventilation) layout is a highly desirable feature in Shanghai. Benefits include:
Natural airflow that cools the apartment in summer
Fresh air circulation throughout
Reduced need for air conditioning
A bright, airy atmosphere in every room
Private Terrace
A private terrace provides outdoor space for:
Morning coffee or evening drinks
Container gardening
Relaxation above the tree-lined street
An extension of the living space during pleasant weather
