About this home
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.
The home was first owned by John Stemler, who worked at the Charles Glaw Manufacturing Company, makers of awnings, flags, and tents. One of those tents housed the Wright Flyer and traveled with the Wright Brothers to Kitty Hawk. When Stemler died at 100, his obituary noted his likely connection to what may have been the first airplane hangar built for 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. Multiple living spaces offer flexibility, while the updated kitchen features quartzite countertops and a gas range. The bathrooms include both a walk-in tiled shower and a traditional full bath.
Upstairs, spacious bedrooms provide comfort and character. A standout feature is the renovated third floor, offering a large bonus living space with kitchenette, perfect for entertaining, working from home, or creating a private retreat.
A multi-zone mini-split system provides primary heating and cooling, backed by gas forced-air HVAC, with both systems installed within the past two years. Outside, the 2-car garage includes a Level 2 EV charger.
Conveniently located near downtown Dayton, parks, and neighborhood amenities, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying modern comfort....
