About this home
This is your chance to own a piece of downtown Asheville history in the iconic Sawyer Motor Building! This gorgeous one bedroom, one bathroom residence features soaring 14-foot ceilings and heart of pine wood flooring throughout. Huge casement windows drape every corner of the space with natural light and frame year-round mountain and city views. The thoughtfully designed modern interior offers a spacious living area, a private bedroom, and generous closet space. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, granite countertops, and a natural gas range. The large bathroom feels like a retreat, with tiled floors, a spacious vanity, and a jacuzzi tub. A new HVAC system, installed in February 2026, means comfort and efficiency from day one, and an in-unit stacked washer & dryer provide everyday convenience. Beyond the unit itself, the Sawyer Motor Building offers something special: a close-knit, engaged HOA that takes real pride in the building. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, new hallway lighting, and a full replacement of the building's HVAC system. Regular community social events bring neighbors together, and with short-term rentals prohibited, you get the peace of mind that comes from a stable, owner-occupied building. You'll also enjoy secure indoor parking, a secure storage unit, and access to the beautifully appointed rooftop terrace with a new grill, fire pit, and multiple seating areas, perfect for sunny afternoons or evenings under the stars. Plus, you couldn’t ask for a better location — walk to dinner at Little Chango, stroll for a sip of sake at Ben’s Tune Up, or wander over to Asheville Yards for some outdoor music. This is a rare opportunity to own an outstanding home that reflects Asheville's history, unique style, and the pride of a community that truly cares. With Motivated Sellers and a recent price reduction, now is the time to make it yours!
