500 Means St., Atlanta, GA 30318

This beautiful free-standing loft sits just minutes from Georgia Tech and offers a rare mix of industrial character and warm design. Tucked behind hand-forged iron gates, the home welcomes you with a short private drive leading to its front deck and entrance, giving it a sense of privacy that’s hard to find in the city. Inside, the updated kitchen features granite and quartz countertops, oak hardwood floors, and hand-tiled mosaic details. Barn doors crafted from Thai fishing boats open to a spacious bedroom filled with skylights, original windows, and historic steel trusses dating back to 1886. There’s also a separate office area that could easily function as a second bedroom. Step out the back door and you’ll find a private patio, plus access to a shaded rooftop deck with city views, a dog run, gym, storage unit, and additional storage beneath the porch. Guest parking is free, making it easy for friends to visit. If you enjoy spaces with history, character, and a little privacy in the middle of the city, this one might be worth a closer look.
