Classic brick Georgian set on a large lot with views of Constitution Park. Across the street from 3 playgrounds, Willard Elementary School, sand volleyball courts, a winter ice rink and a large field. Does this sound idyllic? It is! This 4 bedroom home has been thoughtfully renovated and so well maintained. The family room with windows on 3 sides, the large yard with paver patio and fire pit, the wood burning fireplace in the living room and the warm and inviting kitchen complete with center island and walk-in pantry are all what makes this house a home. The bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors, all offering spacious retreats. There is a ginormous bathroom with tub, shower and linen closet on the 2nd floor just waiting to be made into 2 bathrooms, complete with walk-in closet. The architectural plans have been done and are ready to go. Not only is 1311 on the Memorial Day parade route, but it also carries a special history...Lawrence Welk lived there during the 1930's! So as he would say, in "Ah one, and ah two, and ah..." make your way to see 1311 Ashland today! DRONE video available thought the Virtual Tour link.
