About This Property
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.

About the Neighborhood
Homes for sale in 28801 place buyers at the heart of Asheville's most celebrated and architecturally significant urban core, encompassing Downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, and the historic Montford neighborhood, one of the most intact collections of Victorian and Arts and Crafts architecture in the American Southeast. The residential landscape in Montford features exquisite Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman homes on tree-shaded streets within walking distance of Asheville's legendary Lexington Avenue arts corridor, the Grove Arcade, and a nationally recognized independent restaurant scene. The River Arts District along the French Broad River has transformed former industrial studios into one of the Southeast's most vibrant working artist communities, with dozens of galleries and creative businesses anchoring the zip code's southwestern edge. Mission Health's main hospital campus and a dense concentration of creative economy employers make 28801 a genuine live-work destination. The 28801 real estate market commands some of the highest valuations in Western North Carolina, driven by irreplaceable architectural inventory, walkability, and Asheville's sustained status as one of America's most visited mountain cities.
