It was a pleasure to see this home. You’ve done a great job preserving the historic elements and details. A very fine home indeed. Greetings from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😊
We have a Sears Home. We didn't know when we first moved in, but a TV showed different homes, and WOW. We are only the second family to live in this house. I love it!
Your home is gorgeous! I love the Sears homes, the quality can't be beaten. Congratulations on your family's lovely find. Sending love from Memphis, TN~
My parents house was built around 1912 and still has the original pillar display cases as well as identical moulding above and around the door jambs, just like in this video! It wasn't a full Sears house, but many parts are the same as the catalogue parts. That green stained glass window is DIVINE!!
This house is absolutely adorable! I would love to have a house like that.i love all the oak, vintage fixtures and stain glass windows. I saved this video to my *favorites* ^_^
I am pretty sure I lived in a kit house in Easthampton, MA and just learned there are several Sears kit homes in that town. The original owner was a carpenter. He built the house and was know for riding a bicycle, carrying his ladder and tools to jobs. The house was arts and crafts style,was very small, but had beautiful wood floors with a pattern that formed a diamond between the living room and dining room.
I believe I have the Sears Winona circa 1913. The dining room has the pillars like what’s in this video and also has the wood work in the dining room. I find interesting is the dining and living rooms are top to bottom whereas mine is side to side. Looks like the original homeowner changed the layout. I love my quirky Sears home.
Wow, what a gem! Amazing that the original millwork, dining room built-ins, wainscoting and (bonus!) light fixtures are in such great shape. I'm a fan of Sears kit homes, and this one is fantastic.
Love those old houses. Currently designing my own and trying to incorporate some "old" features like an old fashioned breakfast nook like Sears used to do and a fireplace nook.. Like to see the basement though!
Thanks for the tour. What a beautiful home. You did a great job at restoration,,,a labor of love, no doubt. The only Sears Catalog home I've seen is at White's Bog, an old cranberry farm off of Route 70 in New Jersey. Unfortunately, it has been left to go to pot. I think it is wonderful that you have given this sturdy old home new life. Curious to know if the original came with central heating.
According to the plans this home could be purchased with Hot water boiler heat. I believe that is how this home was purchased. Not all the radiators are original but there are some that seem original to the home. I have replaced the old hot water boiler with an energy efficient hot water boiler.
The exterior architecture is so unusual, and really quite eye-catching. I think the steam hot water heat was very desirable back then as it allowed for an even heat and was cleaner then a furnace that would be coal powered. It's not so desired today since you can't do central air with it.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing this beauty. Your love for this home. My respect sir. We're the stained glass and option, from original plan? Maybe builder special order. Replace fireplace with glass. ☮️ HTGDE.
Love the house but the camera man could slow down a bit so as to allow us more time to see without the blurring caused by turning the camera so quickly. The woodwork is beautiful glad you kept the original stains
Sometimes it pays to be prudent... says every old casino nut that don’t know how to maximize value on their strong hands. Same holds true with real estate.
It is truly sad that you can't Still buy these kits. It would make Homelessness as lot less and put more families in homes. I blame Unions and stupid Regulations
Please explain. Seems quite incoherent to blame Unions and regulations for the bad choices made by a corporation, which would be made worst by the tail of effects left by the Depression. The US has more houses than it needs to house its population. Homelessness is not about the absence of houses, it is about realtors/renters pricing people into the streets with their (unregulated) greed.
So cute, THIS is what people want, not huge ceilings that echo, not open kitchens you can't cook in, THIS.
I love houses that look cottage-like outside and then seem magnificent when you get in❤️
You treated that house with respect, and it shows. Lovely house and great style.
It’s beautiful! I wish Sears or someone would do this again...the quality is absolutely amazing!

The styling and attention to detail is wonderful. Just lovely.
Too bad Sears didn’t start making these again. Could have saved them.
I don't think so
Newer simpler designs and modern materials would make this concept of a kit home viable.

Wow! Your house is stunning. I don't think I've seen that many stained glass windows in one house before. They are beautiful.
I love your house! I just discovered these types of homes and I'm totally enamored. Thank you for sharing. :)
Love the stained glass. Looks more like a European size house than the current oversized US houses.
'Used to live in a house with this design. Was a nice place.
Such character! Wish houses these days were made like this
Beautiful home. Thank you for the tour.

What a beautiful example of Americana, just lovely 😊
You are so very fortunate to be able to live in a Sears Kit home that is so intact. Enjoy your time there!

What a fabulous house! You did such a good job in bringing it back to life!
Absolutely beautiful! I was able to identify all of your stained glass windows and millwork etc in my millwork catalog from 1915.
This is just a sweet little dream home 💕

Your house is so cool. I really like the parlor and living room; and the stain glass is amazing. It was built the same year as mine.

My grandfather was the Edmund Fitzgerald, so I fully understand this video~
Love the house but the camera man could slow down a bit so as to allow us more time to see without the blurring caused by turning the camera so quickly. The woodwork is beautiful glad you kept the original stains
Your Phoenix is spectacular! I linked to your website in my blog. :)
Where do you live?
To much stuff in the 🏠 but love the design of the woodworks no c-fan
I think my grandma's home is a Sears home! Her living room has a similar design!

Interesting, but spinning around with a camera makes the viewer seasick.
Yes, the video is a bit difficult to watch when the camera is swinging around.
