This 220 sqm four-bedroom is a genuine duplex, with a sunken lower level connected by an open staircase, visible from the main living room down to the kitchen level. It also has a real private ground-floor garden with a bamboo grove and a paved seating area, wrapped by greenery, a significant outdoor space rarely seen at this scale. The kitchen is a long galley with black granite counters and grey cabinetry, quality but understated. The primary bathroom has a marble vanity, grey tile, and a built-in bathtub. Bedrooms are simply furnished with grey bedding and warm wood floors; one room is set up as a reading nook with rattan bistro chairs by the window. Rent runs high for Zhoujiaqiao, and the duplex layout plus the private garden are the clear reasons: this isn’t a generic four-bedroom. Four bedrooms across three bathrooms is a comfortable ratio for shared living or a family.

A 9-minute walk to Loushanguan Road metro station, close to Changfeng Park, in Changning.
