47 Illinois Avenue, Dayton, OH 45410

Character, space & potential — without the flipper finish! If you’ve been looking for a home with real character, generous space and room to make it your own, this one deserves a look! Built in 1910 and owned by the same owner for more than 30 years, this spacious 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home still features beautiful original woodwork and hardwood floors. And no, a flipper hasn’t white-walled this one! The character is still here. The cosmetic work is waiting for you, but the big-ticket items have already been taken care of: roof (2023), furnace (2024), A/C (2020), plus newer vinyl windows throughout. That means you can focus on the fun part—making the finishes your own. Inside, the square footage really shines. There are 4 true bedrooms, plus a fully finished third-floor attic offering fantastic flex space. Make it a playroom, home office, hobby room, studio or whatever works best for you. The full basement adds even more usable space, including two finished rooms totaling approximately 290 additional square feet. The current owner used them as playrooms years ago. And wait until you see the huge dining room—there’s plenty of room for the whole crew. You could be hosting Thanksgiving here! The large, inviting front porch is perfect for morning coffee or an evening cold one, while the deck and fully fenced yard give you even more space to enjoy. A privacy fence in the back and a 1-car garage add to the appeal. All appliances stay, and immediate occupancy is available. Location is another big plus! You’re conveniently close to the University of Dayton, Miami Valley Hospital and downtown Dayton, with easy access to the restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and entertainment that make the area so enjoyable. This is a home with history, character and plenty of space—and at a price that reflects the cosmetic work needed. Bring your vision, keep the character, and make this one yours!
