Live the life you want by the river, where indoor and outdoor living come together beautifully. This one-bedroom loft at Whitehall Mill Lofts offers privacy, historic character, and a peaceful setting on the North Oconee River. Located within one of Athens' most significant historic sites, Whitehall was home to one of Georgia's earliest textile mills and became the state's first mill village. The open living area ends with a full glass overhead door that brings the outdoors in, filling the space with natural light and the peaceful energy of the river. Step outside onto the expansive and remarkably private deck to enjoy sunsets, entertain, or simply relax to the sound of the water. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed steel beams, wood-plank ceilings, original brick, rare factory windows, concrete floors, and a distinctive masonry and river rock wall reflect the history of the original mill. Designed with functionality in mind, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a Wolf range with grill insert, an oversized island, Silestone quartz surfaces, and thoughtfully organized cabinetry with abundant storage. The riverfront primary suite opens directly onto the deck, allowing you to wake each morning to the North Oconee River.

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. Whitehall Mill Lofts offers low-maintenance living with the HOA fees covering water, trash, sewer, fire insurance, exterior maintenance, and landscaping. Experience the serenity of being on the Oconee River while not having to sacrifice the convenience and vibe of in-town Athens living with the bustling Eastside corridor, UGA Vet School, Botanical Gardens, and more being a stone’s throw away. This is an opportunity that doesn’t come often, so plan your tour today.
