About this property

306swcondo-asheville - Historic Art Deco S&W Bldg Center of Downtown AVL

Located in the historic art deco S&W Building in downtown Asheville, this one of a kind artistic 1,000 sq ft one bedroom one bath condo offers modern luxuries in a premier downtown location. Dedicated local owners are also the managers of this property, providing personalized touches and service to ensure your stay in Asheville is top notch. Exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and large windows invite plenty of natural sunlight into the living room. You will be delighted with the gourmet kitchen, fully equipped with modern stainless appliances. The kitchen opens directly into the living area (which includes a super comfy queen sleeper sofa featuring a memory foam mattress); enjoy your meals at the kitchen bar or at the large metal dining table (seats 4) made by the owner. The bedroom offers a king bed with quality linens, an extra-large closet with organizers and a wall-mounted flat screen TV. The connected bath features a walk-in shower (dual shower head) and granite double sinks. This condo is immaculately furnished with local art, high end furniture and eclectic accents.

The first floor of our building features the S & W Market which showcases the best of Asheville’s local independent restaurants and beer. Highland Brewing taproom anchors the two-story space with first floor and mezzanine-level bars. Other eateries at the S&W Market include Bun Intended (Thai street food), Buxton Chicken Palace (award winning fried chicken sandwich), Farm Dogs (handcrafted sausages and hot dogs, and locally-made pretzels), Mikasa Criolla (fusion of Peru cuisine), the Hop (locally made ice cream), and The Times Bar (a craft coffee and cocktail bar that sits adjacent to the food hall). The reimagined food hall fulfills the market’s original mission by offering affordable, fresh fare, and the energy that made it an exciting destination so many years ago.

Loft #306 is located on the third floor of the S & W Building (56 Patton Ave) and provides a secure, keyless, coded exterior entrance and elevator to make your move-in safe and easy. You can go for days without using your car which can be safely and affordably parked in the city-operated Coxe Avenue Garage directly behind the building on Sears Alley. Parking at the garage is $12 for 24 hours.

Wonderful Hosts, beautiful & cozy property and amazing location
Karen, was extremely responsive, kind, thoughtful & accommodating. We were traveling with my Mom who has mobility needs and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She provided a bedside commode and shower bench which were very helpful in making the stay so much more comfortable. The condo is beautiful and was easy for my Mom to navigate with her walker &/or a wheelchair. Thank you Karen for helping to make our stay so special!!

5-Star Review for S&W Cafeteria Condo
Our stay at the S&W Cafeteria Condo was absolutely perfect! The location couldn't have been better, putting us right in the heart of everything we needed. From the moment we walked in, it was clear how much care and attention had been put into making the condo a welcoming and comfortable retreat. The space was beautifully appointed, with thoughtful touches that made all the difference—fresh roses in a vase on the table were an especially lovely surprise! It truly felt like a home away from home. Karen, our host, was exceptional. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Her kindness and attentiveness made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. We had such a wonderful time and can't recommend this condo enough. If you're looking for a place that's both cozy and convenient, with a host who goes above and beyond, this is it. A great time at a great place—thank you, Karen!

A perfect Asheville luxury hideaway
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this stylish beautifully appointed Condo. The amenities and detail to care was top shelf. During our visit, the elevator developed a malfunction, but our host communicated with us about it and kept us up-to-date as it was being repaired.. This downtown condo is perfectly located to enjoy all the downtown as to offer. Can’t wait to go back.

NEARLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
we tend to stay at private property rentals rather than hotels and have high standards. we absolutely LOVED nearly everything about this apartment, including any communication with karen. the only thing that brought the star rating down (which i hated doing): paper thin walls. even so, we would consider staying there again as it checked so many boxes. FABULOUS downtown location, ground floor food options, furnishings & decor, bedding, cozy chic factor, lighting options, soundproofing between floors (ironically). getting back to the wall issue, if you go in knowing it's there, it could help. you can actually hear every word from the neighbor and/or TV along one side of the apartment (living room/bathroom/bedroom). it normally stops by 11pm and begins again around 8am. aside from that, this is an ideal downtown asheville rental for a single person or couple.

A perfect, last minute booking!
After we found out one of our daughters wasn’t able to get off for Thanksgiving, the rest of us decided to go to her within a 24 hour notice! We own our own rental property on the coast, and I’m in the travel industry where I travel all around the world viewing luxury properties. That all to say, I have stayed in many places. I was so excited when I found this condo, in the middle of downtown Asheville, above the food hall, in a beautiful historic building. I would call this a boutique condo- exposed brick walls, very cozy, yet full renovated and so comfortable. The host responded to all of my questions immediately and went above and beyond to be sure I had everything I needed to cook and bake a full Thanksgiving meal for my family.the condo was in a safe location, and walking distance to all the great bars, restaurants and shops. I already told the host that we’d be back. We loved it! Thank you!

Close to everything!
We so enjoyed our visit to this downtown condo. The check in directions were thorough and very clear, and the condo was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Karen was an absolutely amazing host, giving us general tips as well as information on closures associated with the hurricane aftermath. All of her restaurant suggestions as well as bars and tasting rooms were fabulous, and we could not have enjoyed ourselves more. The food hall on the first floor of the building was fabulous, with the coffee and biscuit place, Flour, our absolute favorite. Asheville was definitely ready to welcome Visitors and this place was within walking distance to everything. Would highly recommend!

Everything about this place is first rate! The unit is beautiful and super quiet considering it’s in the middle of downtown.

We were in town for a show at rabbit rabbit. We chose this property due to its close proximity to the show and amenities. We were very pleased with the accommodations and attention to detail.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Moore & Robert Moore

Host profile image
We first visited Asheville in 2007 to attend a film festival and immediately knew the city was the place for us. We relocated to Asheville in 2013 from our hometown in upstate NY (Elmira) after our two children left for college. Although we are not natives, the friendly and welcoming community has made us feel as though we've lived here for many years. "We may not have been born in the mountains of western NC, but we got here as soon as we could, y'all!"

Why they chose this property

Located in the beautifully renovated art-deco style S&W Building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977), the spacious (1000 sq ft) #306 S&W Loft is situated in the center of downtown Asheville at 56 Patton Avenue. Everything is within walking distance so you don't need to use a vehicle.

What makes this property unique

Upscale loft in historic S&W Building * Exposed brick walls with high ceilings * Lots of sunlight * City & Mountain views * Fully equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances * Safe, coded building entrance * Elevator * No street noise * Parking Deck - one block away * Internet/SMART TV * Immaculately furnished * Large closets with plenty of space * Washer/Dryer * All linens/towels included * Central Air/Heat * First floor Cafe'/S&W market-food hall/brewery & Times cocktail bar * Location, Location, Location *

Within walking distance of the S&W Building there are too many fabulous restaurants to list. A great reference online would be the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association. Also consider our brew pubs; several are within a short walk, some of which have great food in addition to the beer. Another reliable treat is Asheville's Fine Arts Theater just a 3 blocks away. Something great is always showing and Tuesday night features $5 admission for all seats. If you enjoy art, consider a visit to Blue Spiral or the Haen Gallery, both a short walk. Pritchard Park is directly across the street from the S&W Bldg and Pack Square Park is two blocks away. Understand that when you walk in downtown Asheville, you will be entertained continuously.
