Listing Remarks
4053 Harlan Street #315 is a character-drenched, 3rd floor loft perched atop the historic 1917 Bauhaus-style Besler Building in vibrant Emeryville. Residents are a diverse, eclectic community of artists, designers, techies, entrepreneurs, & other professionals—each exploring their creativity in an iconic building, legally zoned live/work. The vintage freight elevator, large enough to carry the steam cars built here during WWII, provides a movie-like experience & makes moving a breeze. Step into this nonpareil unit w/ its singular, funnel-shaped floor plan, spotlighting soaring 14-foot ceilings & opening wide to 40 feet of north-facing casement windows. The loft combines industrial aesthetics w/ a tree-house vibe and contemporary comforts. The floor plan is infinitely customizable to match creative expression & artistic touch. This top-floor unit, with some of the best views in the Besler Building, is flooded w/ sunlight & offers a panoramic view of the Bay Area, including San Rafael, North Berkeley, Pixar, & the Berkeley Hills. On a clear night, one is immersed in epic sunsets (the seller is the first owner in the building and chose this from all of the lofts). The loft features artisanal, hand-painted concrete floors evoking the elegance & old-world charm of historic Tuscan patios. The shimmering floor surface, divided into 5' x 5' squares, mimics the natural aging of handcrafted Tuscan palazzo tiling, characterized by warm, earthy tones, stone veining, and weathered textures. Other Unit 315 features include: an industrial chef’s kitchen with a stainless steel restaurant sink, cabinet-depth stainless steel refrigerator, recently installed subway tile & cabinets, & new Forno range; A spacious upstairs loft that offers bonus square footage & multiple uses, including a bedroom, walk-in closet, lounge, & office with its own dedicated staircase; A main-floor enclosed room, ideal for a music or art studio, private office, or deluxe pantry; Recently refreshed full bath with combination shower & tub; & northern exposure providing a cooler climate and a cherished lack of street noise in this well-insulated unit.
