Baolian Building 2BR with Balcony
Shortlist notes
A renovated two-bedroom home with a separate kitchen, built-in oven and useful fitted storage. The second bedroom has a raised platform bed, so check whether it suits the intended occupant. The living room is relatively narrow, and both bedrooms share one shower bathroom. Best compared by room proportions rather than floor area alone.
Features
Description
At Baolian Building on Quyang Road, this 96 sqm apartment puts two bedrooms and a separate kitchen alongside a compact living and dining arrangement. The source describes a recent renovation. Pale cabinetry, dark timber flooring and a restrained grey palette give the photographed rooms a consistent finish, while the two bedrooms have quite different proportions and furniture arrangements.
The living room is long rather than especially wide, with a sofa facing the opposite wall and glazing at the far end. A round dining table sits beside built-in cupboards, so meals have a defined place away from the sofa. This division should suit a couple who eat at home and want to keep the main sitting area clear. Someone planning a large television wall or a much larger sofa should check the available width.
In the main bedroom, the bed faces a broad window with curtains and a city outlook. The smaller room uses a raised bed platform with storage and shelving beside the window. It could work for a child or occasional guest, but the platform arrangement deserves a closer look if you need two equally sized adult bedrooms. The balcony adds a separate glazed edge to the apartment; confirm its usable depth and ventilation when viewing.
The kitchen has worktops on more than one side, upper and lower storage, a full-height refrigerator and a built-in oven. It is separate from the reception area, which is useful if cooking smells matter to you. The bathroom contains a shower enclosure, vanity and toilet. There is only one bathroom for both bedrooms.
With a quoted rent of RMB 13,000 per month, this home is worth comparing for its fitted storage and practical kitchen rather than oversized entertaining space. Check the smaller bedroom's dimensions, the renovation handover condition and the inventory of appliances before agreeing the tenancy.
