			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most all dictionaries define a loft as a storage area or attic.  This can cause some confusion, so I scoured the Internet to find out everything I could to provide the true definition of a &#8220;livable loft.&#8221;  In real estate terms, all lofts feature ceilings 10&#8242; or higher, and with very few exceptions, large windows measuring 6&#8242; or higher.  Lofts can also be classified into three styles; <em>New York Lofts</em>, <em>Industrial Lofts</em>, and <em>Modern Lofts</em>.</p>
<h2>Examples of Lofts</h2>
<p><strong>New York</strong> &#8211; Also referred to as the &#8220;true&#8221; loft, the most common trait among this style is the lofted bedroom.  This design also has very high ceilings of 15&#8242; or higher, and traditionally excludes interior walls.  New York style lofts typically sell at a premium compared to others because the 2nd story is commonly more desirable.</p>

<p><strong>Industrial</strong> &#8211; This style of loft may or may not include a 2nd story, but strictly refers to industrial or commercial structures that have been converted (usually by the addition of full baths and kitchens).  It&#8217;s also very common for this style to include exposed brick walls and/or ductwork.</p>

<p><strong>Modern</strong> &#8211; This style falls into the definition of a loft because of ceiling and window height.  However, it&#8217;s common for this style of loft to have interior walls separating rooms.  This type of design has also become a popular trend in new construction and will typically have a less industrial feel.</p>
