About this home
A rare opportunity - be a part of History — Authentic Sears Catalogue Home.
Step into a piece of American architectural history. Homes with documented connections to the Sears catalogue era are an intriguing part of American residential history, and this property offers the opportunity to own a home where that history can still be seen in the structure itself. From the original plaster to the visible numbered rafters, the details tell the story of a 1942-era Sears-built home while the updated floor plan and updated systems provide comfortable living for today. A portion of this distinctive home dates back to 1942 and is believed to have been built from a Sears catalogue house kit, modeled after the Sears Lexington. Historic details remain, including visible framing numbers on the rafters and original plaster walls, offering a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and construction methods of the era.
The Original Sears Lexington Layout consisted of: The original main house was thoughtfully designed around a spacious center-hall floor plan. Plans were as follows;
First Floor Center Hall: Approximately 7 feet wide, creating a classic division between the two sides of the home. The entry features a vestibule and the main staircase.
Living Room: Extends the full depth of one side of the house and features a central fireplace, with access to a side porch or sunroom.
Dining Room: Positioned at the front corner opposite the living room and designed for formal entertaining. Kitchen: Located directly behind the dining room and accompanied by a pantry.
Second Floor: Central Landing/Hall: The staircase opens onto a central hall that mirrors the organization of the first floor. Primary Bedroom: The largest bedroom extends the depth of one side of the home, directly above the original living room. Bedrooms 2 & 3: Two additional bedrooms occupy the opposite side of the upper level. Full Bathroom: Located toward the rear of the central hall. Bonus Alcove: A small space at the front of the center hall was often designated as a Sewing Room or Den, depending on the Sears catalogue edition.
Today’s Living Spaces: The home has evolved thoughtfully while retaining elements of its original character. The main level now includes a bedroom with a private full bathroom, a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room with a built-in cupboard, and a galley kitchen that steps down into the family room. A convenient powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, the home offers a primary bedroom suite with private bathroom and attached sitting room/office, two additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom.
A full basement provides abundant storage and utility space, plus laundry; while an attached two-car garage offers everyday convenience. Heating, Cooling & Mechanical Systems: The home is equipped with a heat-pump HVAC system, along with a mini-split system dedicated to the second-floor primary bedroom. An existing steam boiler serving the radiators is currently inoperable but may be readied for use if desired. Exterior & Parking The exterior features a distinctive stone front, refreshed front steps, an asphalt driveway, and an attached front-entry two-car garage.
Inside, refinished hardwood flooring enhances many of the home's key living areas.
Property taxes: The property on .40 of an acre is expected to be reassessed, with taxes estimated at approximately $12,000....
