Full Service/Luxury Loft Living: What's It All About?
Urban homebuyers are increasingly finding that loft condominiums offer the location and opportunities of city life with far more space than traditional condos units.
The primary benefits of loft living are:
- Large wide-open living spaces that allow you to live and move how you want, rather than having your movement defined by a permanent floor plan of walls, doorways and rooms
- Lofts are generally found in core urban neighborhoods centrally located amid all the excitement and cultural opportunities of the big city
- Being centrally located in the heart of a city can also mean a shorter commute to work
Traditional features of converted warehouses and factories for loft living are:
- High exposed ceilings
- Large multi-story windows
- Open floor plans
- Exposed "brick and beam" construction
- Cast-iron framing
- Hardwood or cement floors
The added amenities available in a full service luxury loft vary by building. Some common features of full service buildings are:
- 24-hour concierge
- Valet parking
- High-end kitchen and bath interior finishes as well as appliances
- Direct access elevators into units
- Gyms and pools
