Across the Miami Valley, buyers keep rewarding homes that offer real square footage and a point of view. At 575 Eastdale Drive in Harrison Township’s Shiloh Meadows, a 1961 custom-built four-bedroom closed at its full $250,000 list price in 29 days.
A Full-Price Close in Shiloh Meadows
The house at 575 Eastdale Drive sold on November 5, 2026 for $250,000, exactly what the seller asked. There was no concession on price and no late-stage reduction. The home was listed at $250,000 and closed at $250,000 after 29 days on the market, a clean 0.0 percent spread between list and sold.
That kind of result tells you something about how buyers in Harrison Township are shopping right now. The home sits in the Shiloh Meadows subdivision and was built in 1961. It offers four bedrooms, three full baths and 2,715 square feet of living space. Those numbers put it at the larger end of what trades in the township, and the price reflects it. A sale at this level also lands in the upper tier of the neighborhood’s recent record, which we get into below.
Harrison Township is not a place that typically makes headlines for its top-end sales. Most of what closes there is modest, and the median over the past twelve months is a fraction of this price. That is what makes a full-price sale on Eastdale Drive worth a closer look: a home with distinctive design and generous space found a buyer who agreed with the number, and it did so faster than the typical Harrison Township listing.
What the Buyer Got: A 1961 Custom Build With Room to Spare
The listing describes the property as a custom-built home with a contemporary flair, and the specs back up the word "custom." At 2,715 square feet, it is a substantial house by any measure, spread across multiple levels. The main living areas, the bedroom level and a finished lower level each serve a different purpose, which is how many mid-century homes of this size were meant to work.
The sale price works out to $92 per square foot. That is a useful number because it shows how much house the buyer received for the money. The Harrison Township median over the last twelve months is $105 per square foot, so this home came in roughly 12 percent below the typical rate per square foot even though its total price is nearly double the median sale. In plain terms, buyers who need space often find that the larger homes in the township carry a lower rate per foot than the small ones, and this sale is a clear example.
The lot is another part of what changed hands. The listing points to an expansive yard with a high degree of privacy, with enough room for outdoor dining, gardening and recreation. Lot size wasn’t part of the facts we have, so we won’t put a number on it. But the way the listing frames the yard, as a private outdoor space with several uses rather than a leftover strip behind the house, is consistent with what buyers of larger homes tend to look for.
The Red Kitchen and the Woodwork
Every house that sells well has something people remember after the showing, and on Eastdale Drive that something is the kitchen. According to the listing, the kitchen has been updated and is finished in bold, high-gloss red cabinetry. It gives the main level a look that is hard to confuse with any other house on the market. In a period when so many updated kitchens settle on the same white-and-gray palette, a red kitchen is a deliberate choice.
The listing also highlights the woodwork throughout the home. Wood trim, paneling and built details give interior spaces a sense of depth, and in a house from 1961 they work as a signature feature rather than something to cover up. The listing leans into the home’s retro character, and the combination of dark, warm wood with a glossy red kitchen is a coherent design story rather than a patchwork of eras.
The bathrooms have been updated too. The listing describes tile work and contemporary features, which matters in a house this age because bathrooms are usually the first rooms buyers expect to redo. With three full baths in total, the house has enough bathrooms to avoid the morning bottleneck that comes with four-bedroom homes that have only one or two. The listing counts a half bath as well, bringing the total to 3.5.
Taken together, the kitchen, the woodwork and the updated baths made the house easy to show and easy to remember. A buyer walking through didn’t have to imagine a finished product. The sale at full list price suggests the home’s personality worked in its favor.
Four Bedrooms on One Level, Plus a Lower Level That Flexes
The floor plan is where the house earns its price. All four bedrooms sit on the same level, served by two full bathrooms. For households with children, for people who want a home office without giving up a bedroom, or for anyone who simply values keeping sleeping areas together, that arrangement is a practical advantage. Four same-level bedrooms are not a given in a house from this era, and they are often the first filter buyers apply when searching.
The lower levels add to the usable space. The listing describes areas for both everyday living and entertaining, which suggests rooms that can handle a family’s routine as well as a crowd on a holiday weekend. Importantly, the lower level includes its own full bathroom. The listing calls out the possibility of an in-law suite or a fifth bedroom, and the full bath is what makes that idea workable rather than theoretical.
That flexibility is a quiet selling point. A buyer can use the house as a conventional four-bedroom with a large entertaining space downstairs. Another can treat the lower level as separate quarters for a relative or a guest, or as a fifth bedroom with a bath attached. The home doesn’t force a single use, and in a market where life changes faster than floor plans, that kind of adaptability tends to widen the pool of interested buyers.
Add the private yard, and the house offers the full set: bedrooms together, bathrooms to spare, rooms for gathering and a place outdoors to spread out. The sale price, at $250,000, reflects all of it.
How $250,000 Stacks Up Against Harrison Township
The numbers for the last twelve months in Harrison Township give this sale useful context. There were 246 sales in the township over that period, and the median sale price was $125,750. At $250,000, 575 Eastdale Drive closed about 99 percent above that median, which is to say nearly twice what the typical Harrison Township home brought.
Ranking tells the story even more clearly. Of those 246 sales, this one ranks 24th, putting it inside the top 10 percent of every sale the township recorded over the past year. That is a strong showing in a market where most closings are for smaller, more modest houses. It is one of the stronger sales Harrison Township has seen in the period, and it came from a home that has been standing since 1961.
Speed is the other half of the picture. The median home in Harrison Township spends about 36.5 days on the market. This one went from listing to closed contract in 29 days, a bit more than a week faster than the typical pace. A higher-priced home that sells faster than the median is a sign that demand at this price point was real, not just theoretical.
Then there is the price per square foot, $92 here versus the township median of $105. Put the three measures together and the picture is consistent: a buyer paid a significantly higher total price than most in the township, but got more house per dollar than the typical buyer, and the seller got full asking price without a long wait.
Recent Nearby Sales Put the Result in Perspective
The most useful comparison for 575 Eastdale Drive is the sale closest to it in size. On November 2, 2026, a five-bedroom home on Judy Lane with 2,832 square feet sold for $170,000, three days before Eastdale Drive closed. The two homes are close in footprint, with Judy Lane slightly larger and carrying an extra bedroom. Eastdale Drive brought $80,000 more, roughly $92 per square foot against about $60 on Judy Lane. That gap tells you buyers were paying for something other than square footage alone: the updated kitchen, the refreshed bathrooms, the same-level bedroom layout and the lower-level full bath all fit into that premium.
A second reference point is Klepinger Road, where a three-bedroom home with 1,475 square feet sold for $198,000 on October 30, 2026. That home is barely more than half the size of 575 Eastdale Drive and came in $52,000 lower. It works out to about $134 per square foot, which shows that smaller homes in the township can command higher rates per foot, while larger homes like Eastdale Drive deliver more total space at a lower rate.
Closings on Williamson Drive and Ontario Avenue, at $134,900 and $105,500, sit closer to the township’s median and involve houses of roughly 1,000 square feet. Seen alongside them, Eastdale Drive occupies a different tier of the market, defined by size, finish and flexibility. Appraisers and agents looking at the next large Harrison Township listing will now have a recent, full-price sale at $250,000 to point to when they build their comparisons.
What This Sale Means for Harrison Township
What it does is add a strong, well-documented data point to the upper half of the range. A 2,715-square-foot home sold at full price, in under the median number of days, for close to twice the township’s median sale. That is meaningful for owners of similarly sized homes in Shiloh Meadows and across Harrison Township who are wondering what the market will bear for a larger house with a clear identity.
It is also a reminder of what drives price in this part of the Miami Valley. Buyers are not simply chasing the lowest number. They are weighing space, layout and condition, and when those line up, they are willing to meet a seller at the asking price. Four bedrooms on one level, a lower level with a full bath, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a private yard are the pieces that added up here.
For sellers, the lesson is that pricing a distinctive home at a level that reflects its features can work, and that 29 days is a reasonable timeline when presentation and price align. For buyers, it shows that larger homes in Harrison Township still offer a lower cost per square foot than the median, even as total prices rise. And for the neighborhood as a whole, each close like this one helps establish what a well-kept mid-century house with real room to live in is worth.
The 1961 custom build at 575 Eastdale Drive found its next owner at exactly the price it asked. That is a good outcome for the seller, a sound purchase for the buyer and a useful comparable for the next Harrison Township home that comes to market.
Recognizing the Professionals Behind the Outcome
Listing agent Toni Donato Shade of Coldwell Banker Heritage brought the home to market, and Christopher Phares of Redfin Corporation represented the buyer. Results like this come from careful pricing, strong presentation and steady work through closing, and both sides of the deal deserve recognition.
