Hunan Road is one of Shanghai’s 64 never-widen roads . The street is lined with plane trees and preserved garden villas. Lane 296 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful lanes in the Former French Concession .

The property was built in 1928 and belongs to a group of buildings at 14-26 Lane 296 that are protected as Shanghai Excellent Historical Architecture . The design is distinctive. The annex building features arched colonnade details that evoke old European courtyards .

The Unit

This property is actually two buildings.

The main building is a garden villa. The unit is the entire first floor. It has a double-bay south-facing layout, which means both main rooms face south. Natural light comes in all day.

The annex building is separate. It has a garage on the ground floor and a suite on the second floor. You could use the annex for a live-in helper, guests, or a home office.

The garden is 150 square meters. That is large for central Shanghai. The space is private.

The layout has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across both buildings.

The Neighborhood

Hunan Road runs between Huaihai Road and Wukang Road. Lane 296 is close to both. You are steps from Wukang Road, Anfu Road, and the cafes and boutiques that make this area famous.

Shanghai Library Station (Line 10) is about an 8-minute walk. Changshu Road Station (Lines 1 and 7) is about 10-12 minutes.

The building was renovated in 2021 as part of a city heritage restoration project . The exterior and common areas were professionally restored.

The property includes a garage space in the annex building. Parking is rare in this neighborhood, so this is a significant advantage.
