About this home

Own a piece of Asheville history in this beautifully appointed corner residence at the iconic Kress Building. Unit 201 enjoys extra light and views from two exposures, filling the open living space with natural sunshine throughout the day. At 912 square feet, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo offers a comfortable, well-proportioned layout ideal for full-time living or a downtown pied-à-terre.

Inside, you'll find the hallmark character that makes the Kress Building so sought after — soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and gleaming hardwood floors that pair timeless architectural detail with everyday livability. The kitchen and living area flow together for easy entertaining, and the corner exposure means light and views!

Additional highlights include a private storage unit on the basement level — ideal for bikes, luggage, or seasonal items — and secure building entry for peace of mind. Furnishings are negotiable with an acceptable offer, making this an especially turnkey option for buyers looking to move right in.

Residents of the Kress Building also enjoy access to a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views of downtown Asheville and the surrounding mountains — the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or watching the city's fireworks from above.

Located on the corner of Lexington Avenue and College Street, this is downtown Asheville living at its finest. Step outside to find the city's best restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and music venues — everything that makes Asheville one of the most beloved small cities in the country, right outside your door.

As a designated National Register of Historic Places property, the Kress Building offers eligible owners significant historic tax exemptions, adding meaningful long-term value to ownership. Parking is available across the street at the Rankin Parking Deck and at Harrah's Cherokee Center.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a corner unit in one of Asheville's most iconic addresses.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. Christy can introduce you to lenders she trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
