Realtor Comments
Ashland is a community central to central and northern Aroostook County. Close to rivers, lakes, the Northern Maine Woods, as well as handy to Presque Isle, Caribou, and Fort Kent areas. Inside is a bright & cheery glassed in entry porch. From there, plenty of heated hallway/mudroom. The 1st floor also includes a living room, a den w/a fireplace, a dining room, and the kitchen. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, the brand new full bath, and a generously-sized room that would be an ideal home office. Not being completely converted from the commercial use yet, this gives you the perfect opportunity to decorate as you’d like without having to pay for someone else’s taste. Don’t miss the good buy on this New Englander, call TODAY!
