Property Description

BEAUTIFUL SEARS CATALOG HOME Sometime in 1926, a Mr. Peterson of Batavia, IL perused a Sears Modern Homes Catalog and chose his family's new home. Everything he would need to build this home would arrive on a rail car from one of Sears' own lumber mills. Sears even went as far as including two small trees, to be planted in the front yard. Eighty-three years later, this home still stands proudly on Main Street in Batavia. In this digital age, it's truly amazing to think folks actually picked out their homes from the pages of a catalog... The current owners have lovingly maintained the historical significance of this home. Featuring the original gleaming hardwood floors and wide molding and trim, the home is updated for today's living needs. The owners have transformed 2 small first-floor bedrooms and combined them into a master suite with full bath and a walk-in closet. The original main bath has been restored with new fixtures including a period-correct pedastel sink. The open front porch is now enclosed, and a large storage closet has been added to this space. The spacious living room has recessed lighting, and the separate formal dining room has a lovely faux stained-glass lighting fixture and windows on 2 sides. The kitchen is totally reconfigured, with new Craftsman style cherry cabinetry and stainless appliances. Upstairs you'll find 2 additional bedrooms, and a newly finished bonus room that is a must-see. Several steps down from the kitchen is another newly finished space with sliding glass doors leading to the rear patio. This space would make an excellent office, or dinette area. There is a full, dry basement with above-grade windows and a detached 2.5 car garage for plenty of storage. Electrical and plumbing have been recently upgraded, and a newer HVAC system installed.This is a move-in ready home, located a short walk from charming downtown Batavia, one of Money Magazine's top 100 small towns in America! Take a look- you'll love it! MLS# 07340347.
