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, once the site of The Brinton House Hotel, features a charming Victorian—built in 1896—which at one time served as a primary school. This remarkable home seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ashland’s heritage. Relax on the inviting covered 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 warm and welcoming space. Functional pocket doors lead into the dining room, offering both openness and privacy when desired. The first floor also includes a fully 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 space for comfortable living. 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), Architectural Roof (2005) and more! Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Ashland history with all the conveniences of modern living—this one is truly a gem.
