Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although the building dates to 1917, the unit has undergone an extensive modern renovation within the last 5 years. The kitchen is fully updated with high-end stainless steel LG appliances, quartz countertops, sage green shaker cabinetry, and floor-to-ceiling subway tile. The interior features contemporary light-colored flooring, updated light fixtures, and a clean, move-in-ready aesthetic that meets current market standards for luxury loft living.
Housed in the historic Besler Building, this unit features genuine industrial elements like exposed brick, steel beams, and soaring ceilings that offer a rare, non-cookie-cutter aesthetic.
The property is ideally situated near Berkeley Bowl West, Bay Street retail, and major transit hubs like MacArthur BART and I-80, providing exceptional convenience for commuters.
With 1,114 square feet and an additional enclosed room, the open-concept layout provides significant flexibility for creative professionals or those needing a dedicated home office.
At $710 per month, the association fees are relatively high for a one-bedroom unit, which may affect the overall monthly carrying costs for budget-conscious buyers.
Originally built in 1917, this industrial conversion may lack some of the modern energy efficiencies, soundproofing, or contemporary amenities found in newer luxury condominium developments.
This is not a condo pretending to be a loft. This is the real thing. Unit 114 at 4053 Harlan lives inside the iconic Besler Building, a former industrial warehouse reborn into one of Emeryville’s most coveted live-work communities. Think exposed brick that actually carries history. Steel beams that mean something. The space hits with that raw-industrial confidence: soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and an open layout that lets you design your life instead of squeezing into it. This floor plan provides one bedroom, one bathroom and one additional enclosed space. Outside your door, Emeryville is in full stride. You are moments from the waterfront trails at the Emeryville Marina, morning caffeine at Wondrous Brewing Company, groceries at Berkeley Bowl West, and walking distance to retail therapy at Bay Street Emeryville. Commuting is convenient with nearby access to MacArthur BART Station and I-80, putting San Francisco and the greater East Bay within easy reach. The Besler Building itself is a rare blend of grit and community. Creative energy runs through the halls. Artists, designers, founders, thinkers. It is the kind of building that feels like a secret until you live there.
