About This Home

As of October 2012

This home was built in 1880 on land that Abel Helman gave his daughter as a wedding gift. At the time, this house 'was' Ashland. Today, this charming vernacular cottage is the new Ashland with modern updates the Helmans could only have dreamed of, including granite, hardwood, gas appliances, copper plumbing, with central heating and air conditioning. A mere three blocks from downtown, this home is central to Ashland's engaging community life. Of special note, the main floor Master Bedroom opens to a spacious back yard with mature trees, raised garden beds, grape arbor, and deck. The property has expansion potential for more residences with its R-3 zoning (see the City Planning Office). Live, and own, a bit of Ashland history today in this well located, sweet cottage, zoned for growth.
