17 N Market St

A compact, historic boutique loft building erected in 1923 and renovated for upscale downtown living. The property is low-rise with a small collection of mainly two-bedroom residences arranged across a handful of floors and a limited total unit count that emphasizes an intimate residential scale. Architecturally the structure preserves period character—exposed reclaimed brick, original hardwood flooring, tall industrial-style ceilings and large multi-pane windows—paired with contemporary interventions such as modern kitchens with islands, built-in storage, walk-in closets and open floorplans. Common interior features include an elevator, entrance foyer, breakfast bars and pantry areas; select homes offer private terraces and panoramic western views toward the mountains and city skyline. Shared exterior amenities focus on a rooftop terrace with lounge seating, an outdoor fire pit and an indoor fireplace setting that extend entertaining and casual gathering space above the street. Practical conveniences include deeded secured underground parking offered to early purchasers, pre-wiring for EV charging, and an HOA that allows short- and long-term rentals. Located on one of downtown Asheville’s oldest brick roads, the building provides immediate pedestrian access to restaurants, galleries, boutiques and cultural institutions while delivering a blend of historic materiality and modern luxury finishes for urban living.
