185 Macon Ave

Longchamps Private Residences is a landmark 1925 Normandy/Tudor–inspired chateau in Asheville, a masonry boutique condominium with multiple stories reached by both a historic elevator and a spiral stair turret. Units are primarily two-bedroom plans—some combined into larger doubles or duplex penthouses—and retain period details such as original oak hardwood floors, substantial moldings, paneled wainscot, coffered or tray ceilings, and marble finishes. Individual homes frequently feature formal dining rooms, sunrooms, gas or marble fireplaces, built-ins, walk-in pantries/closets, and updated kitchens with islands and high-end appliances. Common areas and services emphasize low-maintenance, lock-and-leave living: rooftop terrace, small shared garden and patio, onsite storage, laundry facilities, lawn maintenance, and deeded garage parking for select units. The building enforces residential lease minimums and prohibits short-term rentals. Sited on Macon Avenue near Grove Park Inn and Sunset Mountain, it offers immediate access to resort amenities, walking paths, shops, restaurants, and quick routes to downtown and the Blue Ridge Parkway, combining historic craftsmanship with modern systems and climate control upgrades.
