Every month you wait is another month of rent with nothing to show for it, and at 1113 Creighton Ave in Dayton's Walnut Hills neighborhood, 45420, the math starts working in your favor for $125,000. This 1.5-story home offers 1,092 square feet, with two bedrooms upstairs carrying real period character, wood trim, vintage tile, and sloped ceilings from the era Walnut Hills was built. Downstairs currently functions as a 1-bedroom, 1-bath because the washer and dryer sit in what was built as bedroom two downstairs on the main floor. The basement already has plumbing in place for laundry, so relocating it downstairs is a straightforward path back to a true 4-bedroom home, without adding more square footage. Let's be straight: this home is dated and needs work. The kitchen, the bathroom, and the finishes throughout reflect their age, and the price reflects that too. That is exactly what makes it work for the buyer ready to build equity with their own hands, or the investor who knows the numbers only work when you buy right. Walnut Hills is one of Dayton's original neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets and early 1900s bungalows, a short distance from Slyder's Tavern, serving burgers and drinks since 1948, spend a Saturday at 55-acre Belmont Park with its trails, tennis courts, and disc golf course, or get outside on the 19-mile Iron Horse Trail just minutes away. With rates and rent both working against buyers right now, a home priced this honestly, with this much upside, just needs the right buyer. Schedule your showing today at 1113 Creighton Ave.
