Welcome to 802 S Center Street, nestled in the heart of Ashland—fondly known as the “Center of the Universe.” This expansive .67-acre property features a charming Victorian—built in 1896. Some sources suggest the site was once home to the Brinton House Hotel and many long term Ashland residents recall attending Kindergarten in the current home. This remarkable home blends timeless architectural character with modern updates, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ashland’s heritage. Relax on the inviting front porch, restored by the current owner, and watch the town’s iconic passing trains roll by. Step inside the grand foyer and immediately notice the timeless details: original heart pine floors, bullseye trim, intricate moldings, soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and stunning stained glass (designed and lovingly made by the current owner). The front parlor features a beautiful bay window and an original fireplace with an electric insert, creating a welcoming space. Functional pocket doors lead into the dining room, offering both openness or privacy. The first floor also includes a remodeled kitchen with a large center island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an expansive pantry. A bright morning room/dining area, cozy family room with built-in and fireplace, versatile utility room (ideal for a studio or workshop), and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, a large walk-in closet, an oversized laundry room, a full bath, and a walk-in storage attic—providing ample storage. Finishing this special home are the two detached storage sheds, a side deck, a private back patio and ample parking for family and guests. A few of the notable updates include: Large Shed Roof (2022), 2nd Level Bath remodel (2019), Kitchen remodel including appliances (2018), Upstairs Replacement Windows (2014), 50 Year Architectural Roof (2005) and more! Own a piece of Ashland history with all the modern conveniences—this one is truly a gem.
