156 Van Ness Avenue This charming property in Ashland's Skidmore Historic District offers a rare two-home setup on a flat lot just blocks from downtown. Grizzly Peak views are enjoyed from both residences, with Mt. Ashland views from the upstairs bedrooms of the main house. The 1, 444-sf main home features 3 beds and 2.5 baths and was fully remodeled in 2019 by The Downey Co., thoughtfully blending historic character with modern conveniences. The main level offers open living, a spacious kitchen with an island bar, a primary suite with a luxurious bath, laundry room, and a half bath, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. The 705-sf detached 2-bed, 1-bath single-level second residence at 158 Van Ness sits behind the main home and includes its own private yard with parking and alley access. Outdoors, the fully fenced property features garden beds, a large deck, mature trees, and a chicken coop. Additional amenities include a storage building and off-street parking for cars or an RV.
