About This Home

As of December 2024

Bauhaus beauty and urban convenience come together at unit 213 of the historic Besler Building. A huge wall of windows and high ceilings offer fabulous natural light throughout this 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom loft.

Living and dining room connect out from there for an ideal entertainer’s flow. The under-loft area, with lovely sliding closet doors and a good-sized bathroom, can serve as an office, library, music studio—your flex space. Upstairs—an ideal sleeping area—exudes both industrial chic and aesthetic warmth with its blend of concrete columns and appealing carpet. One parking permit for a nearby lot is included. Prime location with 91 Walk Score and 95 Bike Score. Near numerous shopping and dining districts, including 40th Street, Emeryville’s Public Market and Bay Street, plus close to parks, Pixar Studio, BART, and easy freeway access.
