510 5th Ave E

Ashland, WI 54806

Step inside a home on Ashland's east end where the original interior is still in place: stained woodwork that was never painted, wide cased openings between the living and dining rooms, picture rail, maple floors, and a staircase with its turned newel and open rail, all under the high ceilings of the period. The front porch carries a beadboard ceiling and its hanging swing. Five bedrooms sit within 1,968 finished square feet, one of them on the main floor behind a door of its own with the half bath beside it, and the other four upstairs with the full bath. The main bedroom is just under seventeen feet long; the smallest is a room the sellers use as a bedroom that will as readily serve as an office or a nursery. The kitchen carries a full run of oak cabinetry, a gas range, a dishwasher, a window over the sink looking into the back yard, and a door onto the deck. The detached garage is a shop: two stalls deep with room past them for a built-in workbench, both overhead doors insulated and each on its own newer opener, a sub-panel with capacity to spare, and above it a room with its own stair, wiring, insulation, and an electric heater. The deck off the kitchen is large enough for a dining table and steps down into a yard fenced on both sides and at the rear, entered through a substantial wood gate, with room for a fire pit and a dog. The house is framed on a concrete block foundation under vinyl siding, heated by hot water through cast-iron radiators, and served by city water and city sewer. The roof is a diamond-pattern cement shingle. Moss collects on these roofs in this climate and can be cleaned off. Downtown Ashland and the Lake Superior lakefront are both a short walk from the front steps.
