Nestled among mature trees in the highly sought-after DeWeese-Ridgecrest neighborhood, this charming 1941 Cape Cod offers a rare combination of character, privacy, and convenience—just five minutes north of downtown Dayton. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Stillwater River valley, the home is surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, with incredible winter sunsets and a peaceful, wooded setting. Inside, you'll find 2,142 finished square feet, three bedrooms, and two beautifully updated full bathrooms, one on each level. Thoughtfully renovated while preserving its original charm, the home features refinished hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas range, updated plumbing, and two electric fireplaces. The southwest facing room over the garage is filled with natural light from the expansive windows and offers flexible space for additional living, dining, or entertaining. Upstairs, a bonus pass-through room adjoining one of the bedrooms provides possibilities for a home office, dressing room, or spacious closet. Recent improvements include a new water heater, newer furnace, and exterior painting with new shutters in 2022. Outside, the .33-acre lot offers a backyard patio, mature trees, and a sense of privacy that's hard to find, along with a two-car basement garage. The location is truly special. Enjoy easy access to Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark, the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, and the scenic Stillwater River bike path, which connects to the region's extensive network of approximately 350 miles of paved trails. With nature at your doorstep and downtown Dayton just minutes away, this move-in-ready home offers the best of both worlds. Timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional setting make this one you won't want to miss!
