A photo of a downtown Atlanta’s loft interior. — Where atypical decor abounds.

On Marietta Street, between Centennial Olympic Park and Georgia Tech, this offering at the coveted Gasket City Lofts has no shortage of inimitable character.

But for some buyers, it could fall short on the sort of privacy provided by walls.

Liberally described as a one-bedroom, the third-floor property includes city views, bountiful natural light, and oodles of colorful, cozy decor—all fit for a bartending hipster or Atlanta’s coolest single grandma.

One interesting facet here, per the listing, is the option to install a private deck on the roof above the unit, presumably accessed via a spiral staircase. As the communal roof space shows, the views are spectacular, and they illustrate the proximity of this circa-1945 building to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the aforementioned park, concert venues, restaurants, and more.

Beyond the gorgeous brick and hardwoods, perks include the rather large kitchen, a separated laundry area, and a walk-in closet described as “dreamy.”

The square footage is apparently top secret.

Nonetheless, predicts the listing agent, “this one won’t last long!”
