Ashland’s Whistle Stop – In the heart of the Center Of The Universe
Come and enjoy this beautifully remodeled and quaintly decorated 3-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home that will enfold you in the look and feel of the Town of Ashland. Come and enjoy the custom décor that celebrates all that Ashland has to offer, such as the Train Room, the
Randolph Macon inspired bedroom, and the Center of the Universe Billiards Room.
Located just blocks from Downtown Ashland and Randolph Macon College – choose your mode of getting around – many attractions are walkable such as the YMCA or Town Pool. If you prefer biking, there are many quiet, safe, tree-lined streets that end up at the center of town where there are many restaurants and shops. Catch a movie at the recently renovated Ashland Theater then stop in one of the local eateries for live music and a cold beverage.
Community events like street parties, fun runs, bicycle rides, Holiday parades, the Strawberry Fair and of course, the Biennial Ashland Musical Variety Show as well as Randolph Macon College sports and campus events help make Ashland a very lively, fun, and friendly place to be.
