Property details
About 1400 E 3rd St
Constructed in 1896, this two-story architectural marvel offers over 5,500 square feet of timeless elegance and character. A Rare Opportunity Step through the front door and into one of Dayton’s most remarkable homes — a meticulously preserved 19th-century estate filled with rich history and bold charm. Once owned by E.W. Hanley, a prominent civic leader and early advocate for community growth in Dayton, this grand residence carries the legacy of someone who helped shape the very streets we walk today. Living here means owning a piece of the city’s proud heritage. Original Craftsmanship Meets Bold Character You’ll immediately discover soaring ceilings, intricate woodwork, and breathtaking architectural details that are nearly impossible to replicate today. Stained glass windows filter warm light across a majestic staircase. Every built-in, every panel, every corner has a story to tell — because it’s all been here since the beginning. Location, Location, Legacy Nestled at the edge of the rapidly revitalizing Huffman Historic District, this home places you just minutes from the Oregon District, downtown Dayton, local breweries, and the city’s most vibrant community events. 1400 E Third offers not only timeless beauty, but a front-row seat to Dayton’s next chapter. This isn’t just about buying property — it’s about becoming a steward of history. A chance to preserve, restore, and live boldly within one of Dayton’s true architectural gems. Mixed-Use Zoning, Endless Possibilities Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property offers incredible flexibility. Currently operating as a photography studio (photographer will vacate at closing) with the upstairs rooms previously rented out, it’s a turnkey setup for a live/work lifestyle or investment opportunity. However, with its grand layout and original charm intact, it could just as easily be transformed back into a spacious, single-family home.
