This 140 sqm three-bedroom has an unusually industrial edge for the compound: an exposed concrete ceiling beam runs through the open kitchen and dining area, paired with a green herringbone-tile kitchen backsplash and a marble waterfall island with bar seating. The living room has a brown leather sofa with teal accent pillows beneath a large abstract painting, and a woven blue-grey rug. The primary bathroom continues the high finish level: dual vessel sinks, a freestanding tub, and floor-to-ceiling dark tile with a window. A second, smaller bathroom has a heated towel rail and dark mosaic flooring. Central ducted air conditioning runs through the bedrooms in addition to wall units. One bedroom has a teal accent wall and a built-in bookshelf nook set into the wardrobe wall. Rent runs high for Tianping Road, and the finish level here, exposed beam, marble island, dual-sink bathtub suite, is the clear reason why. The tagged balcony isn’t visible in the supplied photos, so confirm it directly at viewing. Three bedrooms share two bathrooms.

A 4-minute walk to Zhao Jia Bang Lu metro station, close to Shanghai Library and Zhongshan Hospital, in Xuhui.
