This American Four Square home, built in 1924, is located on a quiet tree-lined street in the Historical District of Ashland. It is within walking distance of downtown stores, restaurants, the library, the Ashland Theatre, the Arts and Activities Center, the Ashland Amtrak train station, the local elementary school, Randolph-Macon College and the nightlife downtown Ashland offers. A brick sidewalk and shady trees divide the landscaped front yard. The wide steps and lattice trim make the porch an inviting spot to sit and listen for the trains! A foyer with a staircase and heart pine floors greet you when you open the front French door. Wood trim around the windows and doors in each room give the house that quaint Craftsman feel. And in that same style, the living room has a small window on each side of the fireplace where a gas log has been installed. The original French doors separate the living and dining room. Two built-in corner cupboards provide additional storage and display space in the dining room. The kitchen has a breakfast nook and handmade cupboards crafted by a local cabinet maker. A pantry off the kitchen offers more storage space and opens onto a deck in back. Upstairs, the master bedroom has two large French windows and a updated master bathroom that contains a jetted tub, handmade tile and a walk-in closet. The renovated hall bathroom has black granite countertops and a shower with subway tile in the basketweave style. There is a laundry room on the second level along with a hall linen closet and pull down access to a partially-floored attic above . Most of the windows contain the original panes of "wavy" glass. All of the rooms have Hunter-Douglas shades with the upstairs bedrooms featuring room-darkening shades and the downstairs rooms displaying custom window treatments in addition to the shades. Velvalume storm windows, custom made for each window (designed so they are not noticeable from the street and to help the house retain its 1924 charm), were added in 2016. (These are the same windows used in the Governor's Mansion and buildings in Colonial Williamsburg.) The ¾ basement has waterproof wall panels and a drainage system with a sump pump. A new upstairs A/C system with a 10-year warranty was installed in June of 2018. The exterior wood is original to the house and was last painted in 2018. The backyard has a garage and parking space. There is additional curbside parking for guests. The house sits on a 80' x 191.5' lot leaving space for a house addition and/or pool of any size.
