What do you use your upstairs bonus room for? we use it as an office. Did you put in an upstairs bathroom? Closet spaces? Previous owners turned the front downstairs bedroom into an extra living room and put an arch doorway between it and the living room. Anyway-I'd love to compare interior pics.

It used to be located a few blocks down, but the current owner had it cut in half (really!) and driven to current location. They've since added on to it, so it's quite massive. (The owner is an architect.) I love that when you go inside, you can see the "seam" down the middle of the hardwoods. I'll link a picture of it for you. :) It's the fourth house down on this link.SweetTeaandLemonhttp://sweetteaandlemon.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/when-you-cant-flaunt-it-fake-it/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-53114948939278444632011-01-25T16:56:48.096-06:002011-01-25T16:56:48.096-06:00I just found your blog and "I love it"! ...I just found your blog and "I love it"! ...I also have a Sears house and I would love to have the paper work on our house ..Lucky you. ♥<br />I will be spending lots of time visiting your blog.<br />Hugz ..BettyBetty's corner of the worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215133466300173162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-685197898622494662010-11-13T22:27:45.341-06:002010-11-13T22:27:45.341-06:00Carol,

LOVE that you have the paperwork, that is amazing.<br /><br />Our last house was a Craftsman, but not a Sear --however, very similar to yours in general look. I LOVED that house. I enlarged the picture of yours --it is charming!!!<br /><br />Our Craftsman was right on a river, and so it's outside stonework, fireplace, etc., were made of the local river rock -- very rustic. The house itself was brick. <br /><br />My daughters still love Craftsman houses best -- I think they were imprinted as babies!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-62933523223838303022010-03-08T07:53:18.700-06:002010-03-08T07:53:18.700-06:00Carol,

How is would love this post. Miss him, as he has passed on. I LOVE it that you have the original receipt. How cool! Our little cape was built in 1939. One of the older neighbor ladies has told me that it was built for a whopping 3500.00. Can you imagine. It is built like a fort. I love old houses and the character. Thanks for taking the time to post all the pics of yours :)<br />RobinRobin@DecoratingTennisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896928242190026852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-8295519343813655552010-02-16T19:13:33.222-06:002010-02-16T19:13:33.222-06:00How funny, I love this house.

We restored ours - which is the Roseberry Model. Thought you might like this interesting note - Sears was so into the housing market and claimed that every customer was satisfied, that they went the extra mile for every homeowner and adapted floorplans to meet everyones wishes and in Carlinville since it was a new neighborhood with 156 homes in a 9 block area, they even sent two trees for the front yard of every home. These trees were sent in the second boxcar - each house required two boxcars on the C&A Railroad. I too have always been into old houses and have grown up in them my whole life.Laurie Florihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269128169656364559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-58380358084355051792009-10-17T11:38:44.610-05:002009-10-17T11:38:44.610-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurie Florihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269128169656364559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981559276902872127.post-82224188422281210492009-09-04T19:30:32.595-05:002009-09-04T19:30:32.595-05:00I love the idea of picking out a house from a cata...I love the idea of picking out a house from a catalogue and the fact that it would arrive on a train!
