River Home Off Market

Imagine living in a favorite, yet ever-changing painting, and you'll get a sense of what this spectacular town-house style loft at Whitehall Mills is all about. Unit 21 offers a feast for the senses, from the artistically inspired de?cor to the sound of the water on the North Oconee River shoals, this is an oasis that will inspire your creativity and soothe your soul. Two units have been combined, making this a one-of-a-kind living space, and the only Whitehall Mill loft with an upper sun deck and lower covered deck for enjoying nature, friends, and a beautiful life. Enter through the downstairs deck - but stop a moment for the fantastic river view -- and into the large eat-in kitchen and dining area. Home cooks will love this kitchen with its huge island with a six-burner stove, open shelving, and European farmhouse sleekness. The river is never far away in this condo - the best views of the river are from the kitchen windows and front door. Look up as you head to the living room to see the most unique feature, located in the heart of this condo: A metal catwalk! This intriguing feature is crafted from antique furnace floor grates, allowing the skylight to shine through, and connects the 2 main upstairs living areas. It gives you an idea of the attention that went into the design of this condo. The downstairs is rounded out with a laundry and a full bath with a uniquely designed clawfoot tub, also an unusual feature for the main level. - Upstairs is accessible by two different sets of stairs with an overhead skylight. The main set takes you a large, light-filled bedroom with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and full bath. Take the catwalk across to the current owner's art studio - easily converted into a second bedroom, large home office or anything your imagination can dream up, even a client-based yoga studio. As a bonus, this space also includes the former second unit kitchen, making the second floor deck the perfect place for dinner parties or to enjoy warm nights with a glass of wine and the sights and sounds of the river's wildlife. From the herons and other birds to the beavers and otters, nature always puts on a show in this corner of Georgia paradise. Living in Whitehall Mill lofts offers access to more than 30 acres of property along the North Oconee River and a variety of onsite amenities. HOA fees include water, trash, sewer, fire insurance and a termite bond. The best of Athens shopping, dining and entertainment is also a short drive away.
