101 Drummer Ave Dayton, OH 45403

On the boundary of Newcom Plain and St. Anne's Hill sits an outstanding example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was built in 1893 for a well-known and successful businessman, Leonard Daut. Upon completion, he moved his grocery business and family from the smaller building across the street to this new home. It was his business location and family home for over 40 years until his death in 1935. The extensive stonework, the cornice details and the 5 tall chimneys all speak to Leonard's wealth and sense of style. Leonard's former grocery storeroom makes for a large (500+ Sq. Ft.) and dramatic "Great Room ". This 3,800+ square foot building has 11 rooms (5 bedrooms), 2.5 baths, a walk-up attic and a full, deep basement. There are two newer HVAC systems: one for each floor. The electrical system (200 amp) and plumbing system (mostly copper) have both been updated. All 3 bathrooms have been updated. About half the flooring on the 2nd floor has been veneered with new, factory-finished hardwood; the balance being carpet. The first floor is mostly original wood flooring. The house roof was inspected by Sheriff-Goslin on July 24th. They estimate its age to be 15 years or less. The garage roof is new. The chimneys were all tuck-pointed last year. The wood double hung windows are original and some are in need of repair; the storm windows are about 10 years old and in very good condition. There is a vacant lot (lot #4185) directly across the street on the SE corner. If you want it included, the asking price will be increased by $5,000.
