New Listing Spotlight: A Lease Opportunity That’s Truly One-of-a-Kind
I don’t always send out blog updates like this, but when a space as special as this comes along, I know it’s worth sharing — not just as a real estate opportunity, but as a moment where historic charm meets modern-day flexibility.
Let me introduce you to 1 W Main Street in Spring Valley, OH — a newly renovated, mixed-use lease property that’s truly unlike anything else in the region.
A Home with History — and a Vision for What’s Next
This two-story brick beauty was originally built in the 1850s, and it’s been lovingly refreshed with new windows, fresh paint, updated kitchen and baths, and energy-efficient upgrades — all while maintaining the charm of its original black walnut staircase, high ceilings, and cozy fireplaces. SEE MORE DETAILS HERE
But what really sets it apart is this:
You can LIVE, WORK, and RELAX all in the same space.
Yes, it’s zoned for both residential and commercial use — opening the door for a variety of unique tenant possibilities.
Who This Might Be Perfect For:
-
A traveling nurse looking for quiet, character-rich short-term housing
-
An entrepreneur ready to launch a boutique, gallery, or therapy studio downstairs while living upstairs
-
Someone looking to host creative workshops or events in a charming small-town setting
-
A small business owner needing office visibility and walkable foot traffic
-
Or even a couple just wanting to live in a home that feels like something from a storybook

I LOVE that we can find information at the touch of a button, with our phones or computers – and at any time. However, sometimes – you do need to VERIFY that the information is current, legit and or accurate. When looking for housing (rental or to purchase or to sell) and / or commercial properties – did you know that the services of a LOCAL REALTOR could be invaluable?! Let us be your eyes and ears on the ground, your resource and for verification purposes.
Our Downtown Dayton Partnership has a phenomenal website that is user friendly. If you browse thru and see anything you would like more information on, we are here to help! http://www.downtowndayton.org/downtown-living/housing-options/
