I agree with Fletch on the style, especially of the kitchen. That was my first clue that it was southern or midwestern. The chrome and bathroom fixtures are also dated looking. I don't think it's a great investment, I guess it would depend somewhat on the area, but I could see having trouble unloading this style of property in Atlanta. It seems like it is designed to look like a New York loft, but they sort of missed the mark and it looks contrived. That aside, I think the culture of home buying in a city like Atlanta is probably centered on "get as much house as new as possible for the money". I know gated communities and subdivisions are very popular, and there is a very strong emphasis on brand new construction. That crowd would find anything approaching a loft style to be weird and unappealing. For that reason I would be chary of buying it, I would be worried that I could not resell.
Edited to Add: I realize how this comment could come off, so before you decry "EAST COAST SNOB", know that I grew up in the rural Midwest.
