Julu Road Lane House | Studio | 60 sqm | Live-Work Space | Prime FFC Location

This is a 60 sqm lane house unit that works well for a studio, small office, or home. The location is central. Julu Road is one of the three streets that make up the Ju Fu Chang area, known for its tree-lined streets, boutique shops, and cafes.

Actually, it is a bit different from most of what we list, and worth being upfront about: it’s a blank canvas. Every room is empty — no furniture, no fit-out beyond what’s built in — which either isn’t for you at all, or is exactly what you’ve been looking for if you’d rather bring your own furniture, set up a proper home studio, or shape the space around how you actually work and live rather than around someone else’s sofa.

What you’re working with is genuinely good bones. Dark wood strip flooring runs through every room, laid with the kind of care you don’t see in newer builds, and a dark wood trim band circles each room at picture-rail height — a small heritage detail that immediately reads as older Shanghai rather than a generic modern flat. The windows throughout are dressed in proper plantation shutters, and one room has a decorative brass-and-glass chandelier left in place; another keeps a ceiling fan. Little touches, but they add up to a space with real character rather than a blank box.

The layout is described as a studio-style live/work unit, and the front door backs that up — it opens straight onto the street through its own small gated garden, rather than into a shared stairwell. That kind of independence is unusual to find at this size and price, and it’s worth seeing in person to understand what it actually offers: your own entrance, your own pace, no building lobby to pass through.

The kitchen is compact and straightforward — a narrow galley setup with a gas water heater and a small ensuite shower just off it. Nothing showroom-glossy, but everything works, and it fits the honest, unfussy character of the rest of the unit.

Changshu Road Station (Lines 1 and 7) is about a 10-minute walk. Jing’an Temple Station (Lines 2, 7, 14) is also nearby.

The rent is 14,000 RMB per month.
