About This Home

As of November 2025

Nestled on a spacious lot in a desirable Ashland neighborhood, this 1940-built home offers a rare opportunity to create your dream space. While the property does need updates and repairs, it features strong bones, character-filled details, and several key improvements including an updated furnace, newer windows, and a professionally installed TripleSafe sump pump system with battery backup. The home sits on a large parcel, offering generous outdoor space and privacy. An area off the first-floor bedroom appears to have been prepped for a potential future bathroom addition... offering flexibility for buyers looking to customize. This property is perfect for those with vision who are ready to roll up their sleeves and restore a classic home to its full potential. Property is being sold as-is. Don’t miss your chance to invest in location, land, and lasting value!
