Looking for an affordable home with character, privacy, and room to make it your own? Set on .71 acres along a quiet, lightly traveled country road just 3 miles from the heart of Ashland, this artsy 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a peaceful rural setting with the convenience of year-round, on-grid living. For the age, this home has a surprisingly open floor plan! The kitchen opens to the dining room (where the w/d is tucked in), which is then open to the living room! All bedrooms are housed together on the 2nd floor. The current owner especially enjoys the inviting 3-season porch, beautifully finished with warm tongue-and-groove pine--a favorite spot to relax with a morning coffee, unwind after a long day, or take in the sights and sounds of the surrounding countryside. Important improvements have already been completed, including an updated roof and foundation, providing a solid starting point for future updates. While the home reflects its age and could benefit from cosmetic improvements, it offers plenty of potential for buyers with vision who appreciate older homes and the opportunity to add their own style and value. All of the appliances are included: range, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, dryer, and a 2021 Husqvarna riding lawn mower, wow! If you're searching for an affordable country property with good bones, a peaceful location, and the chance to create something special, this Ashland home is well worth a look.
