The Welsh Family Apartment In Shanghai

We tried to get pictures for the girls so that they could have an idea before we showed up of what the 'new house' looks like. We thought we would share them with you all.

As I mentioned in my last post, the place is 4 bedrooms (or 3 + study - which is how we will use it) and 3 bathrooms. It's 287 square meters, which is just a bit over 3000 square feet. It's on the second floor of one of the buildings in the Green Court compound. It's in the Jinqiao area of Shanghai, on the Pudong side of the river.

Here is the view as you enter the front door. The door you see on the right is the door to the guest bedroom.













Here is a shot of the living room. Just to the right of this picture - out of frame, but facing the TV you see, is a sectional couch. The sliding doors you see in the right half of the pictures exit to the balcony, which looks out onto the central courtyard.












The Bar - just to the right of the entrance and next to the dining room.












The dining room.












The kitchen is a galley kitchen, and the room just behind it is the rear entrance to the apartment - where there is an extra sink and space for storage of cleaning materials.













The Master Bedroom is really decent sized, with the little sitting area you see in the first picture and the glass wall that opens to an enclosed balcony on the right side (that you see in the 2nd picture).

  1. Barring the very nice orchids, this could as well be Seattle or New York, very nice. What's missing is the picture of the guest bedroom - ya know, where Shelly's gonna stay on her many trips to Asia. :)

  2. The apartment is gorgeous!!!! Seriously...it's huge, and I love the floors. :)

    I really hope Kieran and I can come visit...I'm going to try to swing a couple of trips in the next year.
