West Dayton’s momentum shows up in the blocks where renovated, move-in-ready homes find buyers at prices well past the old norms. At 4089 Klepinger Road in Harrison Township’s Valley Hi subdivision, a fully updated three-bedroom with a three-car shop garage closed at $198,000, ranking 41st among 246 sales in the past year.
A Renovated Valley Hi Home Closes at $198,000
Every neighborhood has a handful of sales that show where its market is heading. In Harrison Township, one of the latest is 4089 Klepinger Road, which closed on October 30, 2026 for $198,000. The asking price was $199,900, so the final number landed within $1,900 of list after 44 days on the market.
The home is a 1961 build in the Valley Hi subdivision, with three bedrooms and 1,475 square feet of living space. It sits on a lot of more than a third of an acre. The listing describes a full renovation: a new kitchen, new flooring throughout, tiled bathrooms, vinyl windows and central air. It also carries two garages, one attached and one oversized, with shop space.
The price is the headline. Across the last 12 months, Harrison Township recorded 246 sales with a median price of $125,750. This one closed 57% above that median and ranks 41st of 246. Only about 40 sales in the township’s past year closed higher, which puts 4089 Klepinger Road in roughly the top sixth of the market.
That ranking is a West Dayton story as much as a township one. Across the west side, buyers are showing they will pay for homes that need nothing on day one: updated systems, clean finishes and usable outdoor space. This sale is a clear, recent example.
What the Buyer Got Inside the House
The listing remarks lay out a thorough interior update, and the details explain much of the price. The kitchen has shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. That combination is what most buyers picture when they search for an updated kitchen, and it is the room where renovation shortcuts show fastest.
Flooring is new luxury vinyl plank throughout the home, which gives the interior one continuous surface from room to room. Vinyl plank has become a common choice for renovated homes because it handles daily wear well and reads as clean and modern in photographs. The bathrooms are finished with custom tile, a step up from the stock surrounds often seen in budget updates.
The home has three bedrooms and about 1,475 square feet. At $198,000 that works out to $134 per square foot, about 28% above the Harrison Township median of $105 per square foot. The gap is modest enough to read as a premium for condition, not a stretch, and it is what a fully updated house tends to earn over a tired one of the same size.
Mechanical and envelope details matter as much as finishes to lenders and insurers. The listing notes vinyl windows and central air conditioning. Those two items shape energy bills and comfort in a house built in 1961, and they make the home easier to finance, insure and live in for the next owner.
The result is a house a buyer can move into without a punch list. In a market where the median home sold for under $126,000, that readiness carries real weight. Many buyers shopping at this price level are stretching to purchase, and few have the cash left for a second round of repairs. A home that arrives finished removes that risk.
A Three-Car Garage, Shop Space and a Third of an Acre
The feature that sets this property apart from most Harrison Township listings is outside the main house. Along with an attached one-car garage, the lot has an oversized three-car garage with shop space. That is four vehicle bays in total, plus a workspace, on a single residential lot.
For a buyer who works on cars, runs a trade, or keeps tools and equipment, a shop is hard to find in a renovated home at this price. It is the kind of amenity that does not show up in a price-per-square-foot comparison, because the garage space is separate from the 1,475 square feet of living area. Part of what the buyer paid for was square footage the numbers do not capture.
The lot adds to this. The listing puts the property at more than one-third of an acre, a generous parcel for the Valley Hi subdivision. Behind the house is a large covered patio, which extends the usable living space through more of the year. A covered patio is a practical feature: it gives a buyer a place to cook out, sit outside or store gear without waiting for good weather.
Together, the garage, shop and patio give the property a different profile from a typical updated three-bedroom. It works as a home and a workspace, and for many buyers that flexibility is the deciding factor. It also helps explain why the price landed well above the area median instead of just near it.
The lot and the garages are part of the home’s staying power too. Interior finishes can be refreshed over time, but a three-car outbuilding with shop space and a third of an acre cannot be added later in most neighborhoods. That permanence is the kind of feature that holds value when the next appraiser looks at the property.
The Sale Against Harrison Township’s Numbers
Set against the township’s year, the result is easy to read. Harrison Township logged 246 sales over the past 12 months at a median of $125,750. The median price per square foot was $105, and the median home spent 36.5 days on the market. The highest sale in the period reached $545,000, which shows how wide the range runs in a township with a mix of housing.
Against that backdrop, $198,000 is a strong mid-upper outcome. It sits about $72,250 above the median, and its 41 of 246 ranking means it beat roughly five of every six sales in the township. For an owner in Valley Hi or the surrounding blocks, that is a useful number: it shows what a well-finished home on a large lot can command.
The sale also closed close to its list price. The home was listed at $199,900 and sold for $198,000, a difference of 1.0%. A tight gap like that suggests the asking price was set in line with what buyers were willing to pay, and it points to a market that is pricing renovated homes with confidence.
The time on market fits that picture. At 44 days, the home sold only a little beyond the township’s median of 36.5 days, even though it was priced about 57% above the median home. In other words, a price well past the typical sale did not mean an unusually long wait. Buyers at this level are comparing finished homes carefully, and this one cleared the bar within about six weeks.
Reading the Close Comparables
The most useful comparison is the nearest match in size. On October 27, 2026, a three-bedroom home on Old Riverside Drive with 1,411 square feet sold for $134,000. That house is only 64 square feet smaller than 4089 Klepinger Road and has the same bedroom count, yet the Klepinger sale came in about $64,000, or roughly 48%, higher. Old Riverside works out to about $95 per square foot, against $134 here.
That spread is the value of condition and extras. The listing for 4089 Klepinger describes a full renovation, a three-car garage with shop space and a lot over a third of an acre. Those are the differences a buyer pays for, and the market clearly valued them.
Other recent sales fill in the range. On October 30, 2026, the same day as this closing, a three-bedroom on Ontario Avenue with 1,060 square feet sold for $105,500. Two smaller two-bedroom homes closed on October 28: one on E Melford Avenue with 912 square feet for $126,000, and one on Lodell Avenue with 820 square feet for $119,900. All three are smaller than this home and closed well below it, which is what the size difference would suggest.
The sale on Judy Lane is worth a look because it points the other way on size. That five-bedroom home, with 2,832 square feet, sold for $170,000 on November 2, 2026. It is nearly twice the size of 4089 Klepinger Road and closed for $28,000 less, a little over $60 per square foot. Size alone did not set the price. Condition, finish and the type of space mattered more, and that is the pattern this sale confirms.
Taken together, the nearby sales show a market with a clear split. Updated, move-in-ready homes are trading at a premium, and the sale at 4089 Klepinger Road now sits at the upper end of the recent comparables. Anyone pricing a renovated home in Harrison Township has a fresh, well-documented data point to use.
How the Sale Moved: 44 Days and a Price Within 1% of List
The timeline is straightforward. The house came to market at $199,900, drew a buyer over the course of 44 days, and closed on October 30, 2026 at $198,000. The difference between list and sale was $1,900, a small adjustment for a transaction of this size.
That kind of result usually reflects a realistic starting price. When a home is priced where the market will meet it, the negotiation is short and the final number stays near the ask. For sellers in the township, it shows that pricing a renovated home near the top of the local range can work when the home delivers on condition and features.
It is also worth noting how the days on market compare to the neighborhood. The township’s median was 36.5 days, so a sale at 44 days is in the same range as a typical closing, even at a price 57% above the median. The premium did not require an extended wait.
For buyers, the takeaway is the reverse. In Harrison Township, a finished home with garage space and a large lot is not sitting unnoticed at a bargain. Buyers are competing for these properties, and the final prices reflect that. The numbers around this sale, including the $134 per square foot and the 41st-of-246 rank, show a market that rewards condition.
What the Result Means for West Dayton’s Momentum
West Dayton’s progress is built from sales like this one: a home updated from top to bottom, priced with confidence, and sold at a number that raises the bar for nearby sellers. The details are specific. A 1961 house, a subdivision called Valley Hi, a three-car shop garage, and a closing price that landed in the top sixth of the township’s past year.
Each of these sales adds to the comparable data that appraisers, lenders and future sellers rely on. A $198,000 close in a township with a $125,750 median gives the next owner of a renovated house a reason to invest in finishes and systems, because the market has shown it will pay for them. That kind of evidence is what sustains reinvestment over time.
It also shows how varied the housing stock is across Harrison Township. The recent nearby closings run from about $105,500 to $170,000, and the township’s best sale of the year reached $545,000. That range means buyers can find very different homes at very different prices, and 4089 Klepinger Road sits in a strong place within it.
For the people shopping, selling or watching the market, the message is practical. Condition, usable land and garage space are being valued, and the price a home earns follows from them. This sale is a clear, local example of that principle at work, and it adds one more solid result to West Dayton’s growing record.
