Welcome to Kirkwood School Lofts - Where History Meets Modern Loft Living. Originally built in 1910 and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the iconic Kirkwood School has been thoughtfully transformed into one of Atlanta's rare architectural treasures. These intriguing and unique loft-style residences blend the building's historical purpose with stylish, contemporary comfort. Located on the top floor, previously classrooms, Unit 20 showcases authentic loft character with soaring 11-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork, and full walls of 8-foot cased windows that flood the space with natural light. A truly special feature, the original slate chalkboards wrap two walls and down the hallway, including an original pull down world map, preserving the soul of the former classroom. Even the original schoolhouse doorway with glass transom window remains intact, adding to the unit's historic charm. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, a spacious and open layout, and generously sized bedrooms with room for a sitting area, workspace, and extra-large closets. The kitchen offers a perfect blend of function and style, with a large island bar ideal for gathering and entertaining. The property includes lots of common outdoor space including a seating area and firepit where you will often find neighbors gathering. Enjoy the vibrant Kirkwood Village lifestyle-just 3 blocks to neighborhood shops, dining, and community events. Kirkwood School Lofts spans a full city block with private off-street access, open green space, mature trees, and a designated off-leash dog area for your four-legged companions. This unit includes assigned parking for two cars, plus ample guest parking. A rare opportunity to own a piece of preserved Atlanta history-this is true loft living in a class of its own.
