Known historically as the Alonzo and Mary Mercer House, this Queen Anne on Ashland’s historic Chapple Avenue has been well cared for and still shows the craftsmanship of its era. Original woodwork carries through all three stories, starting with the original wood banisters in the entry. Stained glass windows and plenty of natural light warm the rooms, and the formal dining room is made for holidays and entertaining. Outside, perennial flowers return each spring, and there’s a detached one car garage. A new gas line has been run to the house. Lake Superior and downtown Ashland’s shops, cafes and grocery stores are all within walking distance.
