Offer deadline Monday 7/20 at 5pm. Own a true piece of American history with this authentic 1915 Sears Catalog Home, beautifully preserved while offering the comfort and functionality today's buyers desire. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, first floor laundry, and a detached 2.5 car garage, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic character with everyday convenience. Built with the exceptional craftsmanship and old-growth lumber Sears homes are known for, this residence showcases original Southern Pine flooring throughout most of the first and second floors. Even more original flooring remains preserved beneath the carpet in the upstairs bedroom, den, and front living room, offering the opportunity to reveal even more of the home's timeless beauty. The spacious detached 2.5 car garage is a dream for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or anyone needing extra storage, complete with built-in extra deep shelving integrated into the structure and convenient pedestrian entry doors at both the front and rear. Situated on an expansive 0.41-acre lot, the property offers room to spread out while maintaining practical outdoor spaces. A separate fenced area is perfect for pets, while the remainder of the yard features mature Black Walnut trees, wild black raspberry bushes, and mulberry trees, creating a picturesque setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Located within the highly acclaimed Troy School District, Smith Middle School is visible from the backyard, while Martell Elementary is just around the corner. Backing to a quiet residential cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a peaceful neighborhood feel while remaining close to shopping, dining, parks, and everything Troy has to offer. Rarely does an authentic Sears Catalog Home become available with this combination of preserved historic details, modern conveniences, generous outdoor space, and an unbeatable location. This is an Estate and is being sold As-Is.

R-1B
One-Family Residential District
The Master Plan recognizes that single-family residential neighborhoods are vital components of the City, and comprise the majority of the land area within the City. The intent of the R-1A through R-1E Districts is to provide areas for single-family dwellings with the primary distinction being a range of densities, implemented through varying lot sizes. The R-1A through R-1E Districts are further intended to preserve and improve upon the quality of residential neighborhoods while permitting a limited number of other compatible uses which support residential neighborhoods.
