This 180 sqm three-bedroom has a striking modern linear fireplace built into a marble ledge along the living room wall, an unusual design touch for the compound. The dining area is styled with a bold abstract painting and a reclaimed-wood dining table. A private balcony off the bedroom has a hanging egg chair and glass balustrade with a view over the neighbourhood’s rooftops. Central ducted air conditioning runs throughout. Rent runs high for Huamu, close to Century Park and Kerry Parkside, with the fireplace and balcony as the clearest reasons for the premium.

A 13-minute walk to Ying Chun Lu metro station, close to Century Park and Kerry Parkside, in Pudong.
