Centrally located in the heart of downtown Asheville, this expansive loft is part of a collection of industrial spaces that cover an entire block of former turn of the century factory buildings. Situated within the bustling city center, the location is perfect for accessing the town on foot. Located at the corner of the aptly named “Chicken Alley,” the street was a former farmers market stop with a butcher, stables and chickens roaming the alleyways.
Deftly renovated to achieve maximum space, light and comfort, the interiors benefit from the spacious open plan design with exposed brick, cool concrete flooring and the remnants of it’s former industrial life.
A labor of love, the building was designed and renovated by the owner and longtime Asheville resident whose background in property development combined with her world travels have influenced the way she creates her homes.
Eliminating much of the interior walls created a blank canvas for the chic urban theme. Laid out over two stories, the upper level features vintage hammered tin ceilings and luminous whitewashing with bright and airy lounging and dining areas adjacent to the open plan kitchen and a large double bedroom space with a full bath partioned off from the rest of the floor. Downstairs, the dormitory style sleeping areas are also partitioned off for privacy and can accommodate up to eight guests.
Stylish, distinctive and unique, this loft is a great way to immerse yourself into Asheville’s thriving downtown scene.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Wifi, Apple TV, complimentary gourmet coffee, teas and condiments, laundry facilities, and toiletries. One parking space available for each unit in nearby lot.
