South Park continues to shine as one of Dayton’s most resilient and fastest-appreciating historic districts. Homes that blend modern updates with classic architecture consistently draw strong buyer interest, and the sale of 124 Bonner St. is another clear sign of the neighborhood’s rising trajectory and staying power in the community. This beautiful home ultimately closed at $227,000 on December 2, 2025.
A Showcase South Park Renovation
This restored 1905 bungalow hits all the notes South Park buyers look for: charm, walkability, tall ceilings, classic woodworking, and modern finishes in all the right places. The curb appeal alone sets it apart — mature landscaping, a welcoming front/side porch, and the kind of period architecture that continues to make the historic district one of Dayton’s most iconic neighborhoods.
Interior Character + Modern Comfort
Inside, the home blends two ornate original wood doors, tall 9–10′ ceilings, a massive bay window, and antique fireplaces with a renovated kitchen, refreshed flooring, and an expanded bath. The flow from the living room to dining room creates a bright, open experience — something increasingly rare in century-old homes.
The kitchen island, wine cooler, modern cabinetry, and updated appliances give the space a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The mudroom and laundry setup in the rear of the home add practical space — a huge perk for buyers in this price range.
Why This Sale Matters for South Park
Even with the shift from the original $250K list price, this sale reinforces an important trend: renovated homes in South Park continue to attract strong end-user demand and maintain meaningful value. Properties with strong architectural character and thoughtful updates remain competitive, and the neighborhood continues to benefit from its proximity to downtown, Miami Valley Hospital, Brown St. retail, and UD.
With each well-restored home that sells, South Park’s long-term appreciation story grows stronger.
