Sears Homes is my series of homes that were designed by Sears, Roebuck and Co. From 1908 to 1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. issued catalogues with house designs in them. Customers would choose a home and mail their request to the company. The company would then send all the supplies ordered (pre-cut lumber, lighting, doors, etc.) and the customer would build their own home! Now as I've said before I love more simple, classic homes and these are exactly that so you can imagine my excitement upon finding these lots. I was so excited in fact, I ordered three books filled with these homes so be prepared for a lot of homes in this series!

This lovely lot is entitled The Trenton, which was first published in 1932. The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:

In the Trenton a graceful roof line over a trim exterior tells its own tale of quiet good taste and pleasant living. Spacious, airy, well-arranged rooms with unusual built-in features afford utmost comfort. Living, dining and breakfast rooms face the garden, likewise all three upstairs bedrooms. Service entrance connect with the garage or any part of house.



This house has:
- 3 or 4 bedrooms and 3 baths

- partially furnished (all plumbing, lighting, some electronics, and counters)

All kinds of comments are welcome.

The houseplan is from one of the three books I bought and I have not found it online. So, I scanned the plans for you to see but you can't find them on the Internet.
