This 4-bedroom home in the wonderful community of Mellen (in the heart of Ashland County) offers bright, comfortable living with the incredibly beautiful Bad River just across the (unused) railway right-of way. A forested rocky outcropping rises directly behind the property offering unmatched privacy while still within walking distance to stores, the baseball fields, and more. A beautiful improved garden with high quality soil and a two car garage complete the grounds. Inside, beneath the well installed metal roof, the main level features a nicely sized kitchen with appliances, with a separate large dining area that opens onto the newly constructed and generously proportioned deck. A sunny living room anchors this home with a well located, vinyl floored entry area. The large bay windows provide a beautiful view toward the river, visible before the leaves are on the trees. A full bathroom, a main floor bedroom, and a laundry room completes the lower level. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, including a spacious, light-filled room ideal as a primary suite. A partial basement holds updated mechanicals — 200-amp electrical, an electric water heater, and a gas boiler — with a solid, visible foundation. The crawl space area contains an installed moisture barrier. A two-car garage with power, electrical openers, and a good quality slab rounds out this solid property. Located near the Chequamegon National Forest, and with access within a few feet of the property line to the wonderful Bad River, this home blends small-town charm with easy access to the outdoors. Move-in ready and waiting for its next owner!
