Lofts are cool!

There are many different floor plans in condos, but sometimes they just all seem the same. Bedroom here, bathroom there, some living area, a sprinkle of kitchen over there in the corner, and if you're lucky a deck. But at the building, 2720 Arlington Mill Dr. S, right next to Harris Teeter, there are some floor plans you don't see everyday. Lofts!

These floor plans aren't throughout the whole building. In fact, they can only be found on the first 3 floors. But that's 3 floors more than you find them in most any other building. They have ceilings over 10 feet tall. I didn't say 10 feet tall. I said over 10 feet tall. I'm talking 11/12 feet. That is cool! I'm kind of tall myself, so I love high ceilings. Heck, it doesn't matter how tall you are, high ceilings are something special. They really open up a room. Plus these loft style floor plans are designed to give it a cool urban feel. Many feel like one big room, even though there are bedrooms. There are exposed air ducts, and sprinkler pipes. There are huge windows that aren't quite floor to ceiling. More like knee or waist, probably waist, to ceiling. There is so much natural light I'd say you'd never really need to turn a light on. It's really great. I know, too much excitement, but that's what happens when you see something cool that's not normal.
