A rare opportunity to own one of North Asheville's most iconic historic estates. Originally built in 1909, the renowned Albemarle Inn blends neoclassical architecture, rich history, and gracious Southern hospitality in one of Asheville's most sought-after neighborhoods. This grand historic home is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is currently a Select Registry Inn.
Offering 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, the estate includes 11 beautifully appointed guest suites, each with its own private bath, as well as a separate caretaker's apartment—creating exceptional flexibility for a luxury private residence, boutique bed & breakfast, corporate retreat, or multigenerational estate.
Historic craftsmanship is showcased throughout with elegant gathering spaces, inviting porches, and remarkable architectural details that honor the home's storied past while offering endless possibilities for its next chapter.
Perfectly positioned just moments from the iconic Grove Park Inn, the estate enjoys one of Asheville's most desirable walkable locations. Stroll to Charlotte Street's vibrant collection of locally loved restaurants, cafés, boutiques, parks, Pilates and fitness studios, and neighborhood favorites. Downtown Asheville is just minutes away, offering acclaimed dining, shopping, galleries, and entertainment while preserving the quiet charm and character of this prestigious neighborhood.
Steeped in history yet perfectly suited for modern living or hospitality, the Albemarle Inn is more than a property—it's a legacy. Opportunities to own a landmark of this caliber in the heart of North Asheville are exceptionally rare.
