This 130 sqm two-bedroom has a genuinely curated interior: sage-green accent walls, a vintage red lacquered nightstand, acrylic ghost chairs at a round wood dining table, and a mid-century-style pendant lamp. One bedroom has a sunken sleeping nook set into a backlit alcove, an unusual built-in detail. The terrace has a classical stone balustrade and full tile flooring, genuinely substantial outdoor space with a skyline view. Central ducted air conditioning runs throughout. Rent runs high for Tianping Road, and the curated furnishing and terrace are the clear reasons: this isn’t a generic renovation.

A 3-minute walk to Zhao Jia Bang Lu metro station, close to Xujiahui Park and Shanghai Library, in Xuhui.
