515 N Ashley St, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

Imagine a lifestyle where your car is optional. So close to Kerrytown, Zingerman's & the Farmers Market, this Craftsman lives at the center of everything that makes Ann Arbor special. Visit nearby restaurants, shops & the energy of downtown, then come home to the kind of quiet that surprises you this close to it all. This home has been the backdrop for everyday joys & milestone gatherings. Hardwood floors, original woodwork, abundant natural light, & a living room with fireplace create a warm welcome from the moment you walk in. The 3-season porch with skylights invites you to settle in & watch the neighborhood come & go. The renovated kitchen blends contemporary convenience with timeless character: Cambria countertops, KraftMaid soft-close cabinetry, stainless appliances & deep sink built for weekday meals & dinner parties alike. The dining room, framed by a bay window & newer doorwall, flows onto a large back deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining under the trees. Upstairs, three bedrooms feature warm woodwork, new carpet, and a full bath. The finished third floor provides additional living space — square footage not included in the assessor's total — ready to use as you see fit. The fenced backyard is surprisingly spacious for this urban location, with a large deck, patio, fire pit, and room for play. The basement offers solid project and storage space with a workbench and a half bath (plumbed for a full bath). Practical updates add confidence: two basement walls replaced by Yadlosky and a recently painted exterior with 25-year Rhino-Shield ceramic paint. While the HERD score is only 1, old-world construction tells a fuller story — the exterior walls are double plaster (full plaster wall with lath construction inside and out) with an air gap between. The ceramic paint reflects UV light and limits air infiltration while allowing the building to breathe (Download HERD report on A2 HERD map). Plus Walk Score of 97! This is a home with soul, character, and one of the most sought after locations in Ann Arbor. Come see it.
