Savannah lofts: Most lofts can be found in the Central/Downtown areas
in Savannah. A true loft for Savannah (or "hard" loft) is: a conversion
of a vintage factory or warehouse, having a harder edge of either
concrete construction, or "mill" construction of exposed
brick and original wood posts, beams and floors. Ceilings should be
over ten feet high at least. This is increasingly very important for
loft purchasers, as developers are now building condos with slightly
higher ceilings than in the past. It is the height that helps give
a loft the feeling of air and space. Larger windows and open concept
layouts also help. Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts
are exposed. Do not expect to find a 1,000 square foot loft divided
up into two bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen
and a bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room,
which you can work with and use according to your own functions and
needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine
level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of
loft. The other great thing about lofts is that most of them are zoned
live/work, which makes it easier to operate a business out of your
home. Check whether there are Georgia or federal tax advantages or
write-offs available. Another type of lofts in Savannah are newly constructed
lofts (or "soft lofts"), which are for the most part "Condos
With High Ceilings", and are examples of Savannah condo developers
trying to cash in on the popularity of lofts. Most Savannah lofts built
from scratch have very little character, and in most cases, the ceilings
aren't even all that high. The quality of construction is sometimes
disappointing, and quite often the location is really the only selling
point, since vintage lofts are usually a little off the beaten track,
not in the best neighborhoods of Savannah.
