Property Description
Step into timeless elegance with this 1886 Queen Anne masterpiece, perfectly situated in the heart of Dayton's historic McPherson Town District — one of the city's most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods. Just a short stroll from the Schuster Center, Riverscape, the Dayton Art Institute, and River's Edge Montessori School, this location blends historic charm with modern convenience. Encompassing 3,445 square feet of architectural splendor, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home marries late 19th-century craftsmanship with contemporary livability. From intricate woodwork and soaring ceilings to extensive wall-to-wall bookcases, every detail tells a story. The exterior, painted in five complementary hues, highlights the home's ornamental details and rivals the finest Painted Ladies found anywhere. Inside, the first-floor library features a full wall of floor-to-ceiling bookcases, with walls sponge-painted in five rich shades of burgundy. Original sliding doors allow the space to be closed off for quiet reading or study. Upstairs, a second-floor front room with large bay windows and another wall of built-in bookcases provides an ideal home office or study bathed in natural light. Inviting first- and second-floor porches are perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation, while a rare three-car detached garage offers exceptional convenience in a historic district. Sun-filled rooms, preserved period features, and grand entertaining spaces echo the grace and beauty of the era. Whether you're a history enthusiast, book lover, or simply someone seeking character and charm, this home delivers in every way. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Dayton's rich history — a true Queen Anne Painted Lady gem awaits your arrival.
