FORMER GATSBY-ESQUE SPEAKEASY HITS THE MARKET Step back in time and experience Asheville at its best. Built in 1894, the former Sky Club was Asheville's hotspot for dancing, great food, and famous guests.

Originally Oliver Cromwell Hamilton's mansion, the Sky Club was bought and run by Gus and Emma Adler in the late 1930s. The Adlers would host dinner parties for celebrities such as Robert Mitchum and Grace Kelly while they visited Asheville to shoot their movies. The Sky Club was even called a "Gatsby-esque speakeasy" at the time.

In the 1980s, two local businessmen purchased the building and turned it into five condominiums. They planned for the building to have two apartment flats, a townhouse, and two penthouses.

The Art Deco architecture and design are complemented by endless views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround the city and can be seen throughout this exquisite home.

The spacious, newly renovated twobedroom condo was intentionally designed to accentuate the 1894 Art Deco building.

Throughout the home, you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors and custom built-ins, artwork from local artists and furniture selected to complement the space. Light fixtures have been carefully selected as functional art. The outside is no less impressive. Easy access to a private twocar garage and grounds that include a heated swimming pool, immaculate landscaping, and gated entrance. A place for all.

Excellent people skills, as well as her years of real estate experience, will help buyers and sellers get the most money from whatever side she is negotiating on the behalf of. Kim's art & design background provide the vision needed to both see the potential in a property, as well as list homes for sale with expert presentation. Luxury, land, and farms are her specialties, but she works effortlessly at all price points. A wonderful perk for her clients is that Kim does not limit her scope of work or mountain zip code.
