A commercial building zoned ENC (Eclectic Neighborhood Commercial) on a busy east-Dayton corridor — one block from US‑35. Offered with flexible owner financing for the right buyer.
This is a street-front commercial building on one of Dayton’s established east-side corridors — the kind of location whose real value is exposure. For a service or trade business, that means signage on a road thousands of people drive every day, with room to run your office and store equipment behind it. Its ENC zoning supports a wide range of commercial uses.
Direct frontage on S. Smithville Rd. with daily exposure to passing traffic and easy customer recognition.

Tip: a buyer can confirm exact daily traffic counts (AADT) for this segment of Smithville Rd. through the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission’s public traffic-count viewer.
