Description

It seems like we all work where we live these days. Make it official! 720 Gilman is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive tri-level live/work loft in Berkeley's historic Tannery Lofts. Originally converted in the mid-1990s from a former industrial building, this spacious and flexible condo blends character, volume, and functionality in one of West Berkeley's most dynamic neighborhoods. Featuring 2 bedrooms, a loft space, and 1.5 baths across three levels, the home offers soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open layout ideal for creatives, remote professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone seeking a unique urban living experience. The flexible floor plan allows for seamless separation between living, working, and entertaining spaces. The first floor welcomes you with a spacious living area, while the kitchen opens to the dining area and is complemented by industrial-inspired details, warm finishes, and dramatic architectural lines throughout. A lofted upper level provides additional versatility for a home office, studio, guest space, or reading retreat. The unit also includes in-unit laundry, multiple levels of living space, and live/work zoning for added flexibility. Located in vibrant West Berkeley near 4th Street shopping, cafes, restaurants, breweries, parks, and transit, this home offers convenient access to SF, Emeryville, and the greater East Bay. Easy access to BART, freeways, and bike corridors makes commuting simple while still enjoying the creative energy and community feel that define this neighborhood. A truly unique Berkeley loft with historic character, modern flexibility, and endless potential. HES exempt. Low HOA.
