Minimalist Cabbagetown Loft was Claimed in Three Days

It's like Elsa's icy-white castle meets the "Home on the Range" barnyard in a newly available condo at the Fulton County Cotton Mill Lofts in Cabbagetown. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom minimalist stunner looks like something straight out of the Meatpacking District in Manhattan with soaring ceilings, old timber beams and a metal spiral staircase. Maybe it's the crisp listing photos, but it somehow seems airier than other units at this groundbreaking conversion of a circa-1880 mill. Listed just this weekend, the unit's status is already showing as "pending" for $249,900. While downtown may be a bit more sluggish on the residential real-estate front, this activity suggests Cabbagetown is riding the same wave as surrounding in-town neighborhoods like Old Fourth Ward — which is where the listing erroneously says this property is — and Grant Park. Located next to Oakland Cemetery, with walkability to a healthy number of restaurants and shops along Carole Street and Memorial Drive, it's proof that location (and jaw-dropping design) still get the job done.
