    What's special

    Special gas fireplaceSoaring ceilingsLarge fully fenced backyardBeautifully renovated kitchenInviting front porchReclaimed antique doorsGranite countertops
    Welcome to magical, historic Whittier Mill, where this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends modern updates with the kind of character you just can't recreate. Step onto the inviting front porch and into a spacious living room filled with warmth and personality-soaring ceilings, gleaming refinished heart-of-pine hardwood floors, and a special gas fireplace that immediately sets the tone. Freshly painted inside and out, the home feels bright, polished and completely move-in ready. The beautifully renovated kitchen features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of space to cook and gather. The oversized primary bedroom is spacious, while the secondary bedroom is made extra special with incredible built-in bookshelves. Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful details that celebrate its history-from reclaimed antique doors to doorknobs that feel like they could tell stories from 100 years ago. There's even a dedicated laundry closet, a rare and practical bonus for this floor plan. Out back, a huge deck-partially covered for year-round enjoyment-overlooks the large, fully fenced backyard. A matching detached shed with electricity offers endless possibilities as a workshop, studio, home office or the perfect "she shed." A pea-gravel parking pad adds easy off-street parking, while the level, fenced yard offers plenty of room for gardening, play, pets or simply relaxing outside. Just steps away is beloved Whittier Mill Park, known for its green space, playground and historic ruins, with access to trails along the Chattahoochee River. Nearby, the historic Old Brick Company site is being transformed into a riverfront park, bringing even more trails, green space and connection to this already special pocket of Atlanta. And while Whittier Mill feels tucked away like its own little village, you're still incredibly connected to the city. Bellwood Coffee, Westside Provisions, Star Provisions, Atlantic Station, the Battery, Silver Comet Trail and favorite local spots are all within easy reach, along with Westside Reservoir Park, Midtown, the airport and major highways. This is more than a house-it's a home rooted in history, shaped by care and surrounded by a community that feels personal and timeless. A place where the past is honored, the present is beautifully lived, and the future unfolds gracefully. Urban convenience wrapped in storybook charm.
