Great opportunity in the Whitehall Mill Lofts, this hillside unit overlooks the Oconee River and park-like surroundings. Incredibly quick access to the east side corridor, UGA, five points, the Loop, and more. Seller ended up moving out of the country but not before doing extensive improvements. The entire interior has been freshly painted and features sleek concrete floors throughout, brick walls, exposed beams and artisan-crafted barn door style doors, which create a funky industrial yet contemporary vibe. Large front and rear windows fill the home with incredible natural light and the tall ceilings add an airy quality to the living experience. Seller upgraded the guts of the kitchen with new tankless water heater, fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and upgraded the plumbing to prepare for further kitchen renovations, which were paused until she could determine next moves and is fully functional yet ready for your personal touches. The handcrafted, lower-height "second island" (ideal for baking and food prep) will remain along with the colorful freestanding cabinetry near the entry. A tankless water heater was installed with flexibility in mind, allowing it to be relocated during future expansion. Owner's suite is accessed down the hall and can be visually separated from the rest of the flat with the placement of a large shelf/entertainment center for privacy and to create a living room space as well. Seller had a wall right there reinforced if you would like a full wall to create a completely separated space. Seller completely and very thoughtfully gutted and updated the adjacent primary bathroom to include an open shower concept, bidet, industrial chic vanity, artfully crafted and installed tile work, lighting, and everything else you see. Large walk-in closet is complete with custom designed built ins. The second bedroom en suite was converted into a craft/workshop space but can easily be returned to a traditional bedroom or make it an office/guest room with an incredible set of built-ins. Seller did some light updating in that bathroom as well. This bathroom also has private access to the hall laundry room (Brand new high-end Miele washer and dryer stay) and can be closed off if desired. Additional updates include added storage above the bathrooms and laundry area, electrical updates, custom wood window ledges, and more.
