A rare opportunity to enjoy the space and character of an Oakwood home with the convenience of apartment living!
Located in an intimate four-residence building in the heart of Oakwood, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers more than 2,200 square feet of living space - far larger than a typical apartment and thoughtfully updated while preserving the character and generous proportions of the original home.
The residence features a completely updated kitchen with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, wine refrigerator, and reverse-osmosis drinking water system. Spacious living and dining areas, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and generously sized bedrooms provide plenty of room to live, work, and entertain comfortably.
Both bathrooms have been refreshed with contemporary finishes and smart mirrors, while updated lighting and carefully selected finishes give the residence a clean, modern feel throughout.
Beyond the apartment itself, residents enjoy amenities rarely found in a small Oakwood property, including a private resident fitness center, elevator access, garage parking, additional storage, controlled building access, and high-speed Wi-Fi provided as a convenience. A large private outdoor patio/balcony provides additional living space.
With only four residences in the entire building, 121 E. Schantz offers a quieter and more personal alternative to a large apartment complex.
The location is equally exceptional - close to Oakwood restaurants, coffee shops and neighborhood amenities, with convenient access to Miami Valley Hospital, the University of Dayton, downtown Dayton and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Spacious. Renovated. Private. Exceptionally located.
For those looking for the space of a home without the maintenance and responsibilities that come with one, 121 E. Schantz offers something genuinely difficult to find in Oakwood.
Private showings available by appointment. Professionally managed by DANAX Dayton LLC.
