About 1372 Ocean Avenue

In the heart of Emeryville, this rare live/work loft embodies modern industrial design with architectural finesse. Set in an exclusive converted warehouse of just six units, it merges raw industrial elements with sophisticated warmth. Soaring wood barrel-vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights bathe the open-concept space in natural light. Cherry wood floors flow seamlessly, while the kitchen takes center stage with a Viking range and sleek island—pairing chef-worthy functionality with contemporary flair. A custom black steel and glass partition, designed by Matt Bear, defines spaces without sacrificing openness. A steel- staircase leads to the loft-style primary bedroom, overlooking the dramatic two-story gallery below. The gallery space, with its towering walls and architectural lighting, is ideal for creating or showcasing large-scale artwork. The private two-car garage, with deep steel shelving, extends the live/work ethos by accommodating everything from practical storage to sculptural creations. Just steps from the Emeryville Greenway, Berkeley Bowl, and major transit, this loft offers dynamic living for artists and entrepreneurs alike. Rare and remarkable, it’s more than a home—it’s a statement.
