Looking to own in Athens, but don't care to be inconvenienced by a lawn to cut, flowerbeds to maintain, or leaves to rake? Prepare to enjoy the effortlessly elevated 21st century lifestyle that this well-maintained studio loft has to offer! This limited end unit is nestled within the desirable Urban Lofts luxury condominium community, located less than 2 miles from UGA. Distinguished by professionally maintained landscaping and modern industrial architectural aspects such as simple shapes, intentional asymmetry, large windows, exposed brick, and metal features, the community aesthetic is unlike anything else you'll find in town. Experience the convenience of low maintenance living starting at the front door, featuring ground level entry, sleek keyless locks (never fumble with keys again!), and a Ring Video Doorbell. Stepping into the foyer featuring upgraded black marble tile, you'll be greeted by welcoming home decor placed in the adorable built-in wall niche. Take a moment to imagine the decor you would use to express your own personality and welcome your own guests. From the quaint foyer, you'll move into the spacious open floor plan of the main level, featuring a two story great room, a dine-in kitchen, and a half-bathroom. Features such as bull-nosed drywall corners, lots of recessed lighting, and bamboo hardwood floors are continuous throughout the home. Soak in the natural light pouring in through 6 large windows running the length of the two-story great room wall. Maximize space by using the built-in study nook under the stairs, featuring a granite desk top and wall shelving for books. A small coat closet is also tucked under the staircase providing additional utilization of the space. From the great room, enter the kitchen featuring granite countertops, high top bar seating, pendant lighting, sleek modern high gloss black cabinets with pull-out shelving, glass mosaic tile backsplash, glass top range/oven combo, over the range microwave, stainless steel refrigerator, and a center island complete with a dishwasher, a double sink, and matching cabinets for additional storage. The dining area is complete with black marble tile floors that gleam in the sunlight peeking through the rear double french doors. Exit the rear doors to access the 140 square foot balcony. A pergola appointed with bistro lighting and privacy screening creates an instagrammable morning cup of coffee experience! The half bath featuring a fully glass mosaic tiled wall and a glass vessel sink, is tucked in the rear corner of the home, providing maximum privacy for guests. Access the second level via the staircase featuring industrial black metal handrails, staircase lighting, and bamboo treads. At the top, you'll reach the spacious loft bedroom boasting a mezzanine balcony view, 9'+ tray ceilings, and an ensuite full bathroom that will not disappoint. Sit back and relax in the extra deep whirlpool tub after a long day, or opt for the tiled walk-in shower. Open the blinds in the morning to allow natural light in during your morning routine, and enjoy the convenience of the double vanity complete with granite countertops and high gloss black cabinets. Double doors within the ensuite provide access to the large walk-in closet featuring stacked LG washer and dryer bought in Aug 2021 and a floor to ceiling custom closet system of rods, shelves, and drawers with upgraded hardware for those that love to stay organized. Located on the Athens bus line and an easy walk to UGA, downtown, North Oconee River Greenway Trail, and The Firefly Trail.
