This mid-century Wagener Terrace gem has been tastefully updated in a way that retains the soul and authenticity of the original design with a recently built income producing ADU in the backyard added in 2020, as well as a new roof to main structure. From the street view, 930 Ashley Avenue radiates curb appeal with its crisp newly painted white exterior, brand new fence, and new entrance walk. From the front porch, you are welcomed into the stylish transition space into an open living and dining area. Original wood floors and stone fireplace surround provide period details that are accented with chic lighting updates and accent colors. Thoughtfully designed bar height cabinets frame the transition into the dining area and provide both storage, and countertop space for ease of entertaining.
A set of French doors lead from the dining room into an elegant front den/library with built-ins, perfect for a home office or TV/family room. The eat-in kitchen features a huge walk-in pantry, period-appropriate tiled countertops, retro appliances, and a newly added service portal into the dining area. A laundry and utility room are located just off the living room and offers additional cabinets and convenient storage space.
The central hallway leads to two generously sized bedrooms on the right that share an updated hall bath. The spacious primary suite is at the back of the home and offers an updated en suite bathroom. The home's original design features substantial closet space in each bedroom as well as in the hallway.
The modern ADU, recently constructed on the rear of the lot, provides an excellent income opportunity, guest space or home office. This incredibly efficient design by a local architect offers a glass nano door from the garden, a cozy living area with kitchenette, and a full bath located behind the kitchen and closet tucked underneath the stairs. The lofted bedroom has an acrylic railing to let in light as well as a small, round window. The ceiling beams are accented with the same charred cedar siding as the exterior as well as natural, tongue and groove wood detailing on the eaves. With its striking modern design and abundant natural light, the ADU is an elegant addition to the property and has been rented continuously by the current owner.
930 Ashley Avenue is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to call Wagener Terrace home, or an investor looking for great income potential with two rentable homes on the same property with plenty of parking and shared outdoor space for both houses. This central location is a short walk or golf cart ride to Hampton Park, Corrine Jones Park, The Harbinger Cafe, Rutledge Cab Company, Park & Grove Restaurant, Rodney Scott's BBQ, and many more popular upper peninsula restaurants and walking distance to the public Montessori Elementary School. Don't miss this opportunity to be the next steward of this thoughtfully updated, Wagener Terrace home!
