Overview

Presenting a remarkable standalone heritage villa in the historic 永安别业 (Yong’an Bieye) compound at Lane 357, South Xiangyang Road – in the heart of the Hengfu Historical Area within the Former French Concession.

This property features a main building plus an annex structure (主副楼结构) , offering a total of approximately 300 square meters of flexible space complemented by a generous 100 square meter private courtyard.

Constructed in 1934,永安别业 is a protected heritage lane house community. Lane 357 holds significant historical importance: it was once home to Xu Kan (Minister of Finance and President of the Central Bank) and Lou Zhaoli (Republican-era major general). The compound is located near the intersection with Yongjia Road, surrounded by the tree-lined elegance of the FFC .

The property is offered as a flexible lease suitable for a wide range of uses, including office, showroom, clubhouse, creative studio, or live-work residence. Commercial registration is available (可注册) , and parking can be arranged (可配车位) .

Search Highlights & Property Context:

Yong’an Bieye was built in 1934 and consists of approximately 43 buildings in a brick-wood structure . The compound is situated close to Huaihai Road, IAPM, Jiashan Road, and Yongjia Road . The building has a vintage, nostalgic atmosphere, described as having the elegant character of an old Shanghai lane house .

Xiangyang Road (formerly Route Tenant de la Tour) was constructed between 1918 and 1921 and has maintained its quiet residential character for over a century .

At 58,000 RMB for a 300 sqm main+annex building with a 100 sqm courtyard, this property is positioned reasonably compared to other area listings: a 160 sqm unit on the 3rd floor is available for 35,000 RMB/month . The significantly larger footprint (nearly double the space), plus the private courtyard, annex building, and commercial registration capability, justifies the premium pricing.
