Property Description

Absolutely charming mill house in historic Whittier Mill Village. This darling home is perched on a large corner lot just steps from 17-acre Whittier Mill Park and nestled along the Chattahoochee River. This home lives large for a one bedroom with soaring ceilings, ample natural light, heart pine floors, 2 decorative fireplaces, and a spacious kitchen. A dedicated laundry room off the kitchen could easily pull double duty as a bonus area/office with a stacked washer/dryer & tankless water heater. A huge attic with high ceilings offers ample space for storage, and for savvy buyers, the perfect opportunity to expand. Outdoors, a rocking chair front porch overlooks the charming homes that dot Whittier Mill Village. The yard has been thoughtfully cultivated with edible landscaping and a mini-orchard, including nectarines and figs. Upgrades include new HVAC in 2021 and roof in 2018. Whittier Mill was established in 1895 as a cotton mill, and in 1925, underwent an expansion to provide housing to mill workers. Today, the remains of the mill tower and carpenter's shed are preserved in the beautiful park for neighbors to enjoy. Current owners have architectural plans that have been approved by the neighborhood historic board to build out the attic into an additional living level. Zoned for highly coveted N. Atlanta HS cluster and just minutes away from the shops and amenities of the upper Westside and Westside Park.
