About This Home

916 Lorain Avenue

Own a piece of Dayton history with this one-of-a-kind fixer-upper known as the Honeymoon Cottage! Built by a skilled Dayton bricklayer as a wedding gift for his daughter, this charming home showcases distinctive brickwork, unique architectural details, and custom-made moon-shaped stained glass windows. An incredible opportunity for an investor or buyer with a vision, this home has been taken down to the studs, with drywall installation already underway and several major improvements completed. Updates include a professionally repaired foundation, replacement of most floor joists, a professionally waterproofed basement, a new roof with 4-inch foam insulation (2020), a new HVAC system with two A/C units (2025), new vinyl windows (2025), PEX plumbing, and new gas lines and meter. New fencing has also been installed along two sides of the yard. Water, gas, and electricity are currently on at the property. Adding to its charm, the upstairs bedrooms feature walk-in closets, a rare find in a home of this era! With much of the major work already completed, this unique property is ready for its next owner to finish the interior and bring the Honeymoon Cottage back to life. Bring your vision and make this historic gem shine once again! Agent is related to seller
