185 Macon Avenue A7 Unit A7 Sold

A rare opportunity to steward a singular residence within the historic Longchamps building. This light-filled, two-story condominium is the only residence of its kind in Longchamps, a distinguished 1920s Gilded Age, Normandy-style manor designed by renowned local architect Ronald Greene. Greene’s enduring legacy helped shape Asheville’s architectural landscape and includes such landmark works as the Jackson Building, Claxton School, and numerous other civic and residential structures still defining the city today. Longchamps is an intimate boutique condominium with just two residences per floor, served by both elevator and stair, offering a level of scale, height, and privacy rarely found in historic conversions. This exceptional home thoughtfully preserves its architectural integrity while incorporating modern amenities for contemporary living. The interior is defined by dramatic, original architectural elements, including a two-story barrel-vaulted ceiling, graceful arched doorways, and enclosed sun porches on both levels—features that speak to the craftsmanship and European influence of the era. Generous windows draw in natural light and frame verdant, tree-canopied views, creating a seamless connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Ideally situated within walking distance to Grove Park Inn and just minutes from downtown Asheville and the cultural offerings of the Charlotte Street corridor, the location provides effortless access to world-class dining, live entertainment, the Donald Ross–designed 18-hole golf course, the Omni Grove Park Inn’s subterranean spa, and a curated collection of boutiques and galleries. The residence includes one deeded garage parking space, along with additional shared parking conveniently located in the front lot—an exceptional amenity for a property of this vintage. Outdoor garden areas shared by tenants.
