#BostonLofts #BostonCondosIf you've ever wondered what exactly constitutes a loft residence, you're not alone. There aremore than one definition of a loft in the Boston real estate market.Some lofts consist ofone open space, while others have separatebedrooms. Some are decidedly industrial in style (think exposed vents and concrete floors) while others are what we commonly think of as the warmer "brick and beam" style. Still others are defined by clean, simple modernist lines. The one thing that tends to be fairly consistent among the various manifestations of the loft are an open floor plan and a flexible design. For those who like their living space to accommodatechanging purposes, such as entertaining or working at home, manyresidential lofts canfill thatneed.If you think you're a candidate for loft living in Boston, the downtown Boston neighborhoods have plenty ofloft building options.South Bostons Seaportneighborhood has severalloft style condo buildings.
