Property Description

This charming 3Br/2Ba Cape Cod Home has been completely updated and lovingly prepared for the new owner(s). This home offers loads of architectural history, as it was purchased and built back in 1940 as a Sears, Roebuck, & Company "Kit Home." Sears, Roebuck and Company sold kit homes from 1908 to 1940, offering a wide variety of designs that were ordered from the catalog and shipped as bundles of precut lumber and other materials. These Sears Modern Homes provided an affordable way for middle-class families to achieve homeownership by simplifying the building process, with buyers receiving everything from hardware and nails to paint and varnish to assemble their homes according to detailed instruction manuals. The homes were shipped by train to locations across the country, and though Sears' own records are lost, it is estimated that 70,000 to 75,000 houses were sold before the company exited the business due to the Great Depression and World War II. Enjoy the gleaming hardwood floors throughout, a covered front porch, and fresh paint inside and out. Some of the modern updates include replacement windows, gas HVAC, central air conditioning, 1-car garage with opener. Some of the more recent updates include fresh paint throughout, a new roof in 2025, updated light fixtures, and extensive kitchen and bathroom renovations. The 2nd floor offers an additional den/playroom/office or 4th bedroom option with a gorgeous full bathroom and bedroom.The landscaping has just been refreshed, and several trees have been removed and/or trimmed to show off the exterior of the home. The large driveway, storage shed, and deep lot complete this amazing home!
