About 4053 4053 Harlan St 114
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.
