Virginia Highland Units Blend Old, New The popular Virginia-Highland neighborhood boasts many rehabbed and restored multifamily units, with little room remaining for new projects. The combination of new construction and the sought after intown location is making the Greenwood Lofts condominiums a hot commodity. Tucked away at 680 Greenwood Ave., the 33-unit, four-story property is a blend of traditional loft designs with the latest in contemporary features. Granite counters and stainless-steel appliances share the same space as concrete and hardwood floors and Berber carpeting. Ceilings soar 10 to 20 feet high. Glamorous baths come with spa tubs, tile and separate showers. In addition, each unit is outfitted with Andersen windows and laundry connections. Prices start in the $140,000s for open floor plans, some with two levels of living space. The one- and two-bedroom configurations have 600 to 1,500 square feet. The 20-foot ceilings, oversized windows and panoramic views of a fourth-floor loft appealed to artist Howard Kurtzman, who works and lives in his one-bedroom unit. "I have these panoramic views of the Midtown, downtown and Buckhead skylines," said Kurtzman, who moved in six weeks ago. "And there's a wall of big windows for plenty of great natural light. With the high ceilings, I can hang my artwork as high as I can get the ladder to go." Kurtzman was living and working in a cramped studio condominium when he decided to start looking for bigger accommodations. "Now I have two full baths and two covered parking spaces, so I'm now living large!" he said. "I love Virginia-Highland and really wanted to stay in the neighborhood, but I also wanted something new, as opposed to a fixer-upper." "What I found was very limited. But when I ended up here, I found a great community within the community," he said. "We've had several parties to get to know each other, and everyone here is really nice." The property includes controlled-access covered parking, a dog-walking area, barbecue areas and bike racks. Restaurants and shops of the Virginia-Highland commercial district are a short walk away.
