You won't want to miss out on this beautiful 1930s Craftsman-style bungalow home that was built from a vintage Sears, Roebuck and Co. home kit!! It was most likely ordered from a catalog, and then all of the parts and material would have been shipped to this location! This 3 bedroom/2 bath home is perched on a corner lot surrounded by pretty landscaping and Elkader's river valley. The beautiful original wood flooring and woodwork stands out upon entering the front door. The kitchen has been remodeled within the past month with all new cabinets, countertop, vinyl plank flooring, and new appliances. The main floor bath has also been recently updated. The interior of the house has recently been painted and updated with new light fixtures. The smallest of the bedrooms would make a great den, home office, library, nursery or even a great laundry room. The home has a large covered front porch with an attached wood deck--a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine. There is lots of extra space in the unfinished basement with potential for an extra bedroom, workshop, or game/workout room. There is a partially finished room in the basement that has a new carpet remnant. There is also a great cold storage room for canning. The one car garage is tucked under the house. The newer (2016) windows and blinds are vinyl for easy maintenance, as well as the leaf guards on the gutters. The yard behind the house has nice space for a fire pit, playground, etc. This Sears, Roebuck and Co. home is your chance to own a piece of American history!
