    Overview

    Historic Dayton Restaurant and Inn

    The Thomas House Restaurant & Inn, located in historic downtown Dayton, Virginia, presents a turn-key opportunity with all furniture, fixtures, and equipment included. This property offers excellent live/work potential as the steward of a piece of Shenandoah Valley history. The original dwelling was built in 1815, with an addition in 1854. The Thomas House Restaurant addition was added in 1960 and has been open continuously since. The property, operating as the Thomas House Inn, features 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a 1 bed/1 bath apartment. An unfinished basement with a private entrance and bath (rough-in), formerly a 2nd apartment, is also included. The Thomas House restaurant has ample seating and utilizes private rooms in the home for serving groups and parties. Built in 1818 by Alexander Herrington, the property has historical significance. Herrington’s grandfather, Lord Benjamin Herring, was an English nobleman who settled in the Shenandoah Valley in 1737. Their daughter, Bathsheba, married Capt. Abraham Lincoln, grandparents of President Abraham Lincoln. In 1942, Lottie Thomas opened the Thomas House bakery, which became the Thomas House restaurant, and operated the house as a boarding house. The property is zoned B-2 Business (General) and has a lot size of 0.46 acres. The building size is 8244 square feet.

    Realmo Value Estimation

    Realmo estimates a property’s market value using a proprietary methodology that incorporates public data and user-submitted information. This cumulative value is generated by integrating a variety of conventional and innovative methods. 

    Disclaimer

    These figures are not official appraisals and should not be used as a substitute for a valuation performed by a licensed appraiser.

    Actual market value may differ due to factors not captured in the data. Estimates are offered for informational purposes only, and users should conduct independent research before making financial or investment decisions.

    By using this feature, you acknowledge that Realmo is not responsible for actions taken based on these estimates.

    AI approach

    Realmo AI Method estimates property value using machine learning models trained on millions of comparable listings, transactions, and market signals. It analyzes property features, location intelligence data, and current market dynamics to predict the most probable market value in real time.

    Cap approach

    Capitalization Method calculates value based on estimated net operating income (NOI) and applying a market-based capitalization rate (cap rate), we estimate what a typical investor might be willing to pay for it.

    Comparable approach

    Comparable estimate is based on recent sales of similar nearby properties, adjusted for factors like size, condition, and location.

    Relative

    Relative property class coefficient uses factors that account for typical price differences between various asset types (e.g., retail vs. industrial) to provide a more accurate market-aligned estimate.

    Geo

    Comparable Sales Method, enhanced by Geo coefficients — location-based adjustment factors that reflect differences in price levels across neighborhoods, cities, or regions ensuring a more accurate, market-sensitive valuation.

    Alternative use

    Estimate considers the property’s potential value if used for a different purpose-based on zoning, demand, and market feasibility.
