About this home

4 Beds | 1 Bath | 0.223 Acres | 2-Car Detached Garage Welcome to “The Lake,” one of Ashton's most historic homes. Madame Lake's Pleasure Emporium was built in 1907 by the Union Pacific Railroad for railroad workers and Jackson Lake Dam builders. Across from the big house were the baseball fields, where Madame Lake and her girls discreetly watched games from the balcony in deep centerfield. Built with premium materials—including 2x12 fir board walls and real Baltic Birch paneling in the living room—this home has stood strong for over 100 years. After Madame Lake's era, Sheriff Broc Sparkman bought the home. It was later owned for 60 years by a multigenerational Ashton family with deep local roots. They filled it with family celebrations, piano music, and laughter, while the large backyard hosted neighborhood kids at play. This well-maintained home features four spacious bedrooms, a freshly waterproofed basement, a 2-car detached garage, and a 0.223-acre corner lot. Recent updates...
