Welcome to the ultimate Asheville experience: a 2BR/2BA loft located in the bustling downtown shopping district, yet tucked away in a secluded one-way alley. Despite being in the heart of the city, this space offers a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere. Steeped in history and centrally located, this loft embodies the true spirit of Asheville.
Enter into Wolf Den Loft and prepare to be immersed in industrial loft-chic design. This home has been meticulously renovated and professionally designed to create a truly unique living space. The blend of old and new is evident throughout, with concrete walls and floors downstairs , juxtaposed with the contemporary finishes in the kitchen & baths, and timeworn wood floors supporting modern furnishings. Enjoy the afternoon light, overlooking Chicken Alley, with the downtown city scape as the back drop, setting the scene for the start of any Asheville adventure.
Every detail in this loft has been carefully selected to reflect the essence of Asheville. From estate sale finds to custom pieces, each item has been chosen with intention to create a space that not only pays homage to the city's history, but also speaks to the modern lifestyle. Vibrant colors and bold prints create a unique atmosphere, while partitioned walls allow for privacy without sacrificing the open, airy feel of the loft. This is Asheville living at its finest.
On Carolina Lane, there are is a 30 minute loading zone Monday -Friday, 9am-5pm, plus a couple parking spaces within 25 feet of the entrance to the loft. These are rarely available though, so plan your arrival accordingly with a quick drop off of a few things, then proceed to the parking space a block away. Vehicles should not be parked in a way that prohibit thru-traffic.
Wolf Den Loft includes one free off-street designated parking space one block away in a private parking lot.
You don’t need a car to enjoy downtown Asheville (our walk score: 93!), but if you bring one, here are your options:
Additional Parking Options
Parking Lots & Decks: Both the City of Asheville and Buncombe County operate safe, reliable and inexpensive parking decks. The first half hour is free and the full-day rate is just $20. There are several parking decks, as well as a few paid parking lots – pay from your phone with PassportParking or ParkMobile app, or by space / cash at the kiosk box (ask us for more details, if you need them) – within walking distance of Carolina Lane; we’ll send all the details with your booking confirmation.
On-Street Parking: While the road just in front of the loft is a loading zone, shimmy a short distance toward N. Lexington Avenue or on Broadway , there are more than 700 on-street metered parking spaces in downtown Asheville. All meters are for short-term parking (two hours or less, as marked), at a cost of $1.50 per hour. On-street metered parking is free on holidays, Sundays, and every day after 6 pm until 8am.
Loading Zones: If you’re arriving via taxi, Uber, or Lyft, feel free to unload in one of Asheville’s dedicated loading zones, limited to 30 minutes (or less, as marked). There is one 30 minute loading zone on Carolina Lane, and one on the corner of Woodfin St and Broadway.
This is an urban setting within sight and sound of busy bars, restaurants, breweries and music venues. If you are looking for a completely quiet location at all hours, this may not be a perfect fit for you. Carolina Lane is a one way alley, with limited public parking spaces. The one free designated space is included with Wolf Den Loft . We provided details instructions to nearby public parking decks, just a block away!
