THE HOUSE THAT 'SEARS BUILT'. Step into this 4 bedroom cape cod home featuring a formal dining room, kitchen with pantry, and beautiful oak hardwood DIAMOND PATTERN FLOORING throughout that quickly captures your eye. This home was originally a 'Sears & Roebuck' catalog home shipped by rail to Diamond, OH Depot and then by horse to Edinburg, its current location. This home is one of just over 70,000 sold during the 1900's. History reveals that these homes were made from top-quality materials and assembled by experienced Sears carpenters. Owner has replaced the house roof, furnace, and central air. What an honor to own a part of American History! Picture yourself in this iconic home, on 5 acres, in addition to a fabulous bank barn, with a huge attached, heated workshop, large overhead doors, floor drain, and more. Not to mention the large machinery shed to store equipment or house farm animals. The property is rolling with many trees and a running creek. Surround yourself with a bit of peaceful country living to call your own. Property is not far from West Branch, Lake Milton, Berlin Reservoir, bike/hike trails, boating, jet skiing, picnicking, hunting, shopping, airport(s) places of worship, hospital(s), and more. Inspections are welcome but for buyer knowledge only. Inspection report(s) not accepted by seller or agent. Seller selling as-is without repairs. Sellers will entertain offers that would include 6117 Tallmadge Rd, Rootstown, OH 44272 (MLS # 5034592)
