Welcome to The Dakota - Atlanta's crown jewel of mid-rise condo living. Prepare to be captivated by the rarity of this CORNER, 5TH FLOOR unit condo, a true gem floor-plan that has remained off the market for nearly two years! Nestled back off the main street and overlooking one of the many private courtyards, this exclusive residence is adorned with lush landscaping, creating a private oasis in the heart of the city. As you enter, you'll be greeted by an abundance of natural light that is nothing short of a showstopper. With an impressive total of 17 WINDOWS, including three bay windows, the residence becomes a haven of light and warmth! As you pass through the foyer, you will notice the beautiful, updated hardwood floors that span throughout the condo. The sprawling living room boasts custom-built-in cabinetry, glass shelving and a gas log fireplace encompassed by marble tile!! The kitchen has been updated with 42" cabinets, tiled backsplash, upgraded high-end KitchenAid appliances (gas range), a separate pantry and walk-in laundry room! As you move to the primary suite, you will notice the stunning bathroom upgrades from the dual, custom vanity with under-mount sinks to the extra spacious, wall-to-wall shower with two shower heads on each side lined in a beautiful, custom tile!! There is also a custom-appointed walk-in closet! As you make your way over to the opposite side of the condo, you will enter the very spacious guest suite area. This bathroom also has a beautiful custom vanity, newer tile flooring and upgraded tile surrounding the extra-large soaking tub/shower. This is a private guest retreat or a great office space! If that wasn't enough, the HVAC was replaced with a Trane system in 2022 and the hot water heater is only 3 years old!! There are TWO deeded parking spots right next to each other one floor below the condo, a newly updated rooftop pool, gym, community kitchen and grills all on the SAME LEVEL as the condo!! Positioned at the end of the hallway, tranquility reigns supreme in this haven. The ambient noise and foot traffic are almost nonexistent, offering a peaceful retreat where you could hear a pin drop. It's a sanctuary within the city, providing a rare and precious escape. The Dakota also has an exceptional on-site property manager and all the major projects for the entire property have been recently completed. This rare condo will go quickly!
