Step into timeless character with this beautifully preserved Queen Anne home in the heart of Grafton Hill, one of Dayton’s most admired historic neighborhoods. Built in 1903, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence carries a remarkable story from its very first owner, and that story begins with the Wright Brothers.

Today, that same spirit of craftsmanship fills every room. The inviting front porch and mature landscaping welcome you inside, where original woodwork, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and a beautiful staircase and foyer showcase the home’s historic appeal. Just off the kitchen, the first-floor full bath has been beautifully remodeled. Originally converted from the butler’s pantry, it retains the original cabinetry.
