They don’t build them like this anymore. (And honestly… they can’t.) Originally built in the early 1900s as one of Asheville’s first true downtown “flats,” this granite-clad beauty has seen the city evolve from quiet mountain town to the cultural hub it is today. Now fully reimagined from top to bottom, it delivers the best of both worlds: historic architecture with none of the historic headaches. Inside, it’s all clean lines, natural light, and a layout that just works. The kitchen pulls its weight with a full GE appliance suite—counter-depth fridge, induction range, dishwasher, microwave—paired with modern cabinetry and polished finishes that feel equal parts timeless and current. The vibe? Easy. Elevated. Uncomplicated. Bedrooms are calm, baths are quietly luxe, and every finish has been thoughtfully selected to complement the building’s original character without trying too hard. And because downtown living should actually be easy: secured basement storage (6x6 per unit), a dedicated bike garage, all-electric systems, and efficient split systems with central air—so you can spend less time managing a home and more time enjoying the city. This isn’t just “historic.” It’s one of the few remaining early residential buildings downtown—listed on the National Register and still standing for a reason. Step outside and you’re in the middle of it all—restaurants, galleries, coffee, cocktails—Asheville at your doorstep. Old soul. New everything. Zero compromise. This unit comes with one deeded parking spot. Storage available for each unit in the basment. Please see agent remarks.
