This is a spectacular 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 3-level authentic loft townhome at South Park Lofts in Atlanta's historic Reynoldstown neighborhood.

This unit is one of 2 townhomes that jut out from the main structure -- providing privacy and the extra amenity of parking just outside your front door! Inside, the floorplan is open and the finishes are a mixture of industrial and contemporary for a very chic aesthetic. The front door opens into a large living room with multiple sets of patio doors with transoms for great light. A spiral staircase from the living room leads up to a one-of-a-kind bonus party loft that doubles the entertaining space of this unit! The living room also has a short flight of stairs up to the main level which features a contemporary kitchen open to a large dining room (this space has 20'+ ceiling); a big laundry room with pantry storage space; and the spacious guest bedroom suite with walk-in closet and private full bathroom. A dramatic longer staircase leads from the main level up to the master retreat which is screened from the rest of the loft by a custom fabric and steel divider. The master suite includes a large bedroom with skylight, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious private full bathroom with oversized vanity and a fully tiled European-style wet room with jetted tub and separate shower. The South Park Lofts development also has a swimming pool.
