Perfect starter home on Ashland's west end, complete with a detached garage, extra-large lot, and a welcoming covered front porch - the classic columned kind, perfect for morning coffee under the towering pines. Inside, original hardwood floors run throughout, and the freestanding Lodi stove is a truly exceptional addition, ready to supplement your heat through northwoods winters. The important upgrades are done: newer roof, newer electrical panel, a furnace that appears relatively new, plus many newer windows, and new kitchen and bathroom flooring. A solid foundation and straight, sturdy construction mean this home will grow in value as you maintain it. The oversized 140x97 lot offers privacy and room to garden - the feel of country living just minutes from town. The detached garage makes a great workshop, and alley access pairs nicely with the ramp to the rear entry, in great condition and handy for bringing in groceries, or anyone who would prefer zero-steps. Don't let the need for a coat of paint throw you off - a little light updating turns this sleeping beauty into a charmer for years to come.
