Calling all investors, rehabbers, and fearless DIY enthusiasts! 31 Pioneer Street is looking for someone ready to see the potential hiding underneath the “needs some love” category. According to public record, this Dayton property offers approximately 1,989 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms. The two-story home has a traditional exterior, covered front porch, gabled rooflines, and plenty of space to work with. In other words, the canvas is here—the next artist just needs to show up. This property is being offered as-is and will require work, so this probably isn't the house for someone whose renovation strategy begins and ends with picking out throw pillows. For the investor or buyer with the right vision, however, there is an opportunity to transform this property and give it a fresh start. All information has been obtained from public records and should be independently verified. Buyers should rely on their own measurements, inspections, research, and due diligence regarding square footage, room sizes, property characteristics, zoning, and all other pertinent information. Interior access may be facilitated upon execution of a Hold Harmless Agreement. Prospective buyers should use appropriate caution and conduct whatever inspections and investigations they deem necessary. Bring your contractor, your calculator, and your imagination. But for the right buyer, projects like this are where the potential gets interesting.

Some houses make you work to imagine living there. 45 Edgar Ave does the opposite. Walk up to the deep covered front porch and you can already picture the rocking chair and the morning coffee. Inside this 1915 Walnut Hills home, refinished hardwood floors, dark original trim, five-panel doors, and a craftsman stair rail - the woodwork nobody builds with anymore, really sets the tone. The nearly 23-foot living room flows into a dining room built for long-table holidays and a freshly updated kitchen with white uppers, green beadboard lowers, butcher-block counters, stainless appliances, and a pantry cabinet. A knotty-pine full bath and a screened back porch round out the main level. Upstairs are four bedrooms (one wears bold navy and pulls it off) and a fully renovated bath with marble-look tile and a soaking tub. The third floor is an oversized attic bedroom with vaulted ceilings and its own second room, making five very comfortable bedrooms in all and the one everyone will call dibs on. Out back: a fully fenced yard ready for a garden, fire pit, or very happy dog, plus a detached three-car garage and a full basement for laundry and projects. The location is the cherry on top. University of Dayton and Miami Valley Hospital are each about a mile, so a commute becomes a rounding error. Esther Price Candies is about a half mile away (dangerous, in the best way). Downtown Dayton, the Oregon District, Day Air Ballpark, and the Schuster Center are under two miles, with Sinclair and the Dayton Art Institute just beyond. US-35 is minutes from your door for a quick run to WPAFB. Add Kroger and the coffee and eats along Wayne Ave, Highland Park, and the river bike trails, and you'll leave the car parked more than you'd expect. A century-old house with new-house conveniences, minutes from nearly everything. Come claim that porch.
