Property Information

Step into a masterpiece of Asheville’s architectural heritage. 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. Timeless Architecture Meets Modern Luxury: Unlike any other home in the region, Kells Castle features original cinder block construction, a bold and innovative choice for its era that has provided a fortress-like foundation for nearly a century. The home has been lovingly and meticulously restored, ensuring every modern convenience is seamlessly integrated while honoring the property’s deep historical roots. Key Features of this Remarkable Estate: The Cathedral Living Room: The heart of the home is a magnificent, soaring living space with vaulted ceilings and architectural details that capture the essence of Ellington’s dramatic style. 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. 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.
