90 Fairlie Lofts

Nestled in Atlanta's Historic Downtown district is 90 Fairlie Lofts. On a side street surrounded by restaurants and shops, as well as area attractions, this wonderful loft building is a quiet secret. Although it does not have all of the bells and whistles as some of the newer loft developments with amenities, it has its own uniqueness and charm.

I had the opportunity to view one loft in this building the other day. Being a loft lover, I can say I usually like most lofts. However, the one I saw was very impressive. The size alone (2,600 square feet) was an attention getter. Add to that a gigantic circular kitchen of beautiful cherrywood cabinetry and top of the line stainless appliances, and I was immediately drawn into wanting to see more. Being an end unit, it had a wall of windows in it's large living area and master bedroom with various views of the City. Although there was no exposed ductwork, it did have the staggered cement ceilings to remind you that you were in a loft. Hardwood flooring throughout which made this already expansive space appear even larger. Cherrywood cabinetry continued through the bathrooms and the master bathroom had a very large walk-in shower with an added bonus of it's own private sauna. How cool is that?


The rooms in this unit were of a generous size, adding to it a dining area, as well as a divided space that would be perfect for an office.

I did wish that it had a balcony that you could sit out on. That would have just made it perfect! It did have a Juliette balcony, but I was hoping for an outdoor space. Time constraints preventing me from checking out the roof decktop, but I am sure that makes up for any lack of personal balconies.

Two things of my own personal taste that I would do to this unit. I would restain the flooring to the cherrywood. I have a personal love of that color for it's richness and quality. Second, I would add red bricks to the entire wall of windows. I have a fondness for red bricks, especially in lofts, and I feel that would not only enhance the windows, it would create an even greater loft feel. Again, it is all selective and that is just my own personal tastes.

I have to say, this unit impressed even me! I would even consider buying it. I am anxious to go back and check out more units, as well as the rooftop deck. I'll update my post with more info after I do that.
