West Dayton’s housing story keeps getting written one closing at a time, and Harrison Township is adding real chapters. The brick ranch at 3306 Burgoyne Drive in Valerie Estates just sold for $190,000, 52% above the township’s 12-month median.
A Brick Ranch in Valerie Estates Closes at $190,000
The numbers on this one are clean. The brick ranch at 3306 Burgoyne Drive in Harrison Township’s Valerie Estates closed on October 22, 2026 for $190,000, a hair above its $189,900 list price. That is a result 0.1% over asking, which in plain terms means the seller named a number and the buyer met it and then some.
The home is a 1966 build with three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, and 2,258 square feet of space. It works out to $84 per square foot. That figure matters, and we will get to why, because it sits well below the township’s typical price per square foot while the total price sits well above the township’s typical sale.
Harrison Township is part of West Dayton’s broader momentum, and sales like this one are how that momentum shows up in the record. Over the last 12 months, 154 homes have sold across the township. This one ranks 32nd of 154, which puts it among the stronger sales of the year in a market where the median home changed hands for $125,000.
What follows is a closer look at the house, the numbers around it, the nearby sales that give it context, and what the result says about where Harrison Township’s housing market stands heading into the end of 2026.
Inside the Floor Plan: Two Living Spaces and a Bonus Room
The first thing the listing emphasizes is the layout, and it is easy to see why. This is a single-level brick ranch built around two distinct living areas on opposite sides of the house, a plan that was common in the mid-1960s and still works well for buyers who want separation between spaces.
On one side, a sunken living room flows into a dedicated dining area. The step down gives the room its own character and defines it as the more formal of the home’s two gathering spaces, while the open connection to the dining area keeps it practical for everyday meals and for hosting.
On the opposite side of the house sits a separate family room with a fireplace wall as its centerpiece. Having a second living space with its own focal point changes how a home functions day to day. One room can stay set up for company while the other handles the television, the homework table or the weekend game.
Next to the family room is an additional bonus room. The listing describes it as flexible, suitable for a home office, a hobby space or extra seating, and that flexibility is the point. Buyers shopping a house of this size are often looking for a place to work from home or a corner for a craft or collection, and a room that is already defined and separate from the main living areas answers that need without a renovation.
The kitchen offers ample cabinet and counter space and connects easily to both living areas, so whoever is cooking is never cut off from either side of the house. A separate laundry room adds the kind of everyday convenience that rarely shows up in a price but shows up in daily life. Wood flooring runs through the main living spaces, which adds warmth and ties the rooms together.
The home has three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, plus an attached two-car garage. For a buyer, that is the combination that tends to decide a showing: enough bedrooms, more than one bath, indoor parking and room to spread out.
Courtyard Entrance, Covered Patio and a Fenced Yard
The exterior has a feature that sets the house apart from the standard ranch on the block. The front entrance is courtyard-style, which the listing credits with giving the home both privacy and curb appeal. A courtyard approach creates a small outdoor threshold before the front door, a defined space that most mid-century ranches simply do not have.
The brick construction is part of that curb appeal. Brick is a durable exterior material, and on a home built in 1966 it gives the front elevation a settled, finished look.
In back, a covered patio looks out over a large, fenced backyard with mature trees. Those three details work together. The roof over the patio extends the usable season, the fence defines the yard for pets or play, and the mature trees supply shade and a sense of enclosure that new plantings take years to deliver.
Valerie Estates is the subdivision this home belongs to, and the lot is a good example of what the established parts of Harrison Township offer. Buyers comparing this part of the Dayton area with newer construction often find that older neighborhoods trade smaller houses on bare lots for larger houses on grown-in ones. At 2,258 square feet with a large fenced yard and a two-car garage, 3306 Burgoyne Drive falls squarely on the generous side of that trade.
The covered patio and the family room’s location on one side of the house also suggest an easy flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining, which is how the listing frames the home: relaxing, hosting and everyday living, all on one level.
How $190,000 Stacks Up Against Harrison Township
The most useful way to read this sale is against the township’s own numbers. Across the past 12 months, Harrison Township recorded 154 sales with a median price of $125,000. At $190,000, 3306 Burgoyne Drive sold 52% above that median.
Its rank in the township is 32 of 154. In other words, only 31 homes in the township’s last 12 months of sales closed at a higher price. The highest sale in the township during that stretch was $545,000, so the market has a wide range, and this home sits in the upper tier of it.
The price per square foot tells the second half of the story. The township’s median is $105 per square foot. This home sold at $84. That gap is a function of size. A buyer who paid $190,000 for 2,258 square feet got a lot more house per dollar than the typical Harrison Township purchase delivers, even as the total price cleared the median by a wide margin. Larger homes in the township can reach higher totals without reaching higher per-foot rates, and this sale is a clear example.
That combination is good for the neighborhood in a specific way. A sale that is high in total price but moderate per square foot shows buyers will pay real money for space and layout, and it does so at a price per foot that remains accessible. It supports values without pushing the market out of reach.
The market also gave this home time to find its buyer. The township’s median time on market over 12 months is 33 days. This home took 152 days, a longer run than typical, and it closed at its asking price anyway. We will come back to what that means for sellers.
The Closest Comparable Sales
Recent closings in and around Harrison Township give a sense of where this sale lands among its neighbors, and the clearest comparison is the one closest in size and bedroom count.
On Greenhill Road, a three-bedroom home of 1,897 square feet sold for $255,000 on October 19, 2026. That is a higher price on a smaller house, and it shows the top of the range for a three-bedroom of this general size in the area right now. 3306 Burgoyne Drive offers about 360 more square feet than that Greenhill Road home, which accounts for the difference in per-foot pricing: roughly $134 per square foot there against $84 here.
At the upper end, a three-bedroom on N Main Street with 2,858 square feet closed the same day as this sale, October 22, 2026, at $440,000. That home is about 600 square feet larger and sold for more than twice as much, which marks the ceiling of what larger three-bedroom homes are commanding at the moment. It is a reminder that the township’s market has real depth at higher price points.
At the smaller end, a three-bedroom on Rosewood Drive with 1,019 square feet sold for $102,500 on October 19, 2026. The Burgoyne Drive home has more than twice the square footage and sold for about 1.85 times the price, another way of seeing the space a buyer received for the money.
A two-bedroom on Coronette Avenue with 948 square feet closed the same day as this sale at $125,000, exactly the township’s 12-month median. It gives a useful anchor for what the typical Harrison Township sale looks like, and it shows how far above that typical sale a well-sized, well-kept ranch can land.
Taken together, the nearby sales show a market with real spread. Homes are closing at all price levels this month, and a three-bedroom ranch of more than 2,200 square feet at $190,000 sits comfortably between the small-home sales and the larger, higher-priced ones.
152 Days on Market and a Price That Held
The sale took 152 days on the market. That is longer than the township’s 33-day median, and the seller’s decision to stay at the number is part of why the result reads as a win.
The home was listed at $189,900 and closed at $190,000. There was no cut along the way and no concession reflected in the final price. A sale that lands slightly above list after five months tells you the asking price was grounded in what the house is worth, and that the right buyer was out there.
Long marketing periods are not unusual for homes at higher price points. Houses above the neighborhood median draw from a smaller pool of qualified buyers, and larger homes with two living areas appeal to buyers with specific needs, such as a home office, a second gathering space or room for a larger household. Finding that buyer takes patience, and it paid off here.
For other sellers in Harrison Township, the lesson is practical. A home priced in line with its size and condition can hold its number even when it takes longer than the median to sell. The comp that results is cleaner for everyone who lists afterward, because it records what the market actually paid rather than a discounted figure.
What the Sale Means for Harrison Township
One closing does not make a trend, but it does add to the evidence. Harrison Township logged 154 sales in 12 months, and the range runs from small homes in the double digits of thousands to a top sale of $545,000. In that field, a $190,000 sale ranking 32nd is a data point appraisers, lenders and the next seller will see.
For West Dayton, the value of a sale like this is that it lives in the middle of the market, not at an outlier extreme. It is a mid-century brick ranch in an established subdivision, selling at a price that is well above the township median and still modest per square foot. That is the profile of a market with room to grow: buyers recognizing the space and layout available in neighborhoods like Valerie Estates and paying for it.
The home itself also reflects what holds value in older housing stock: a practical single-level plan, two living areas, a bonus room, hardwood-style warmth in the main rooms, a two-car garage and a big fenced yard. None of those features is exotic. All of them are things buyers look for, and the price shows they were noticed.
As more homes in Harrison Township close at or above their asking prices, the comp set for the whole area rises with them. The sale of 3306 Burgoyne Drive is another entry in that record, and it is one that supports the next homeowner who decides to buy, sell or improve a property here.
