Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Commuter Access: Situated in the heart of Emeryville, one block from Pixar Studios, with immediate access to cafes, dining, shopping, and major highways, BART, and public transit for effortless Bay Area commuting.
Distinctive Live-Work Loft Design: Features industrial charm, contemporary comfort, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and an open layout within the iconic Besler Building, offering a unique aesthetic.
Versatile Mixed-Use Zoning: Explicitly zoned for live-work, providing significant flexibility for entrepreneurs, artists, or business owners to customize the space for both residential and professional needs.
Abundant Natural Light: Expansive windows ensure the unit is 'flooded with natural light,' enhancing the open and airy feel of the loft.

Cons

Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The $697 monthly association fee is relatively high for a 1-bedroom unit, adding a significant recurring cost to ownership.
Limited Bedroom Configuration: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, its appeal is primarily limited to single occupants or couples, potentially narrowing the prospective buyer pool.
Potential for Missing Modern Conveniences: While not specified, older loft conversions may lack certain modern amenities such as central air conditioning or dedicated, deeded parking, which could be a consideration for some buyers.
