Known historically as Kells Castle, this iconic residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s soul. Located in the heart of the prestigious Grove Park neighborhood, this home is a testament to the visionary work of Douglas Ellington, the famed architect behind Asheville’s most beloved landmarks.

Restored Excellence: Extensive renovations have preserved the historical nature of the woodwork, masonry, and layout while updating the core systems. Spacious Living: The floor plan now boasts 5 generous bedrooms and 4.5 elegant bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests.

This home is perfect for multi-family living. Unbeatable Location: Situated on one of Asheville’s most coveted avenues, you are just steps away from the Grove Park Inn and a short drive to the vibrant energy of downtown. Live the Asheville Legacy: From the intricate stonework to the storied halls, 24 Kimberly Avenue is more than just a house; it is a landmark.

Enjoy the perfect balance of a quiet, historic enclave with immediate access to the world-class dining, arts, and outdoor adventures that define the Asheville lifestyle. Discover the magic of Kells Castle—where history is preserved and luxury is redefined.
