IF WALLS COULD TALK...This 1921 Sears & Roebuck Catalog Home could tell quite a story! Originally purchased for a colonel in the military, it was brought in on a rail car & assembled on site. The home looked much different then! Many improvements have taken place over the years; the first being the addition of the sunroom & kitchen expansion. Around 1968, the home was purchased by the Koch family (Scotty's Drive-In owner) & their 8 children. The very skilled Mr. Koch made several more improvements to the home including the addition of the MASTER BEDROOM RETREAT & the oversized, heated & insulated garage. Numerous arts & crafts woodworking details are added throughout the home to include custom moldings, built-ins & a custom writing desk. The basement was dug & carried out in 5 gallon pails & since has been completely finished! Some recent improvements include newer carpet in the upper level landing, updated 200 amp elec service, PVC plumbing, newer roof, vinyl windows upstairs.
