The architecture of most Boston apartments ranges all the way from the brick apartments and multifamily homes of Brighton and Allston to the brownstones and luxury condos of Boston’s Back Bay.  Somewhere in the middle of the diverse Boston buildings lies the loft apartment.  Lofts are rare in the Boston area but have been coming to the forefront of hip luxury real estate.  We have compiled a list of advantages to choosing a luxury loft in order to help make your decision a bit easier

1. High ceilings provide an open, spacious atmosphere.

One of the most popular features in a loft apartment is the height of the ceilings.  They allow for an airy environment that is near impossible to recreate in a traditional apartment layout.  The height of the walls creates an opportunity for larger light fixtures and ceiling fans that don’t hug the ceiling.  There is also significantly more wall space for decorating.

2. Natural sunlight will seep through the XL sized windows.

Those high ceilings come with an added benefit: high windows.  Ounces of natural sunlight will pour in to the loft apartment, leaving the space feeling even more Zen and open.  No artificial light has ever been able to recreate the glow of sunlight, and luckily a loft apartment won’t require all that much due to the wall sized windows.
3. You are given complete control of defining the space.
The open floorplan of a loft allows for complete creative control. From dividing the rooms to deciding on a décor theme, a loft apartment is the ultimate blank canvas of architecture. A traditional apartment or house comes with the rooms already defined, leaving very little room for change.

4. Many loft apartments come with rich history and design to match.


While a bare loft may seem quite plain at first glance, many renovated Boston lofts retain some of their original charm.  Exposed bricks and pipes often lend very well to a contemporary décor style with sleek lines and natural materials.  This juxtaposition is quite stunning.  Those same architectural elements match well with rustic, antique styling.

5. Lofts are very, very cool.

Without fail, almost every visitor you have over to your loft will comment on the unique architecture and layout.  Your family and friends will be very impressed with the contemporary, trendy styling.  Lofts are just simply, cool.  If you are looking for a trendy, impressive condo, a loft might be just for you.
