Description
Originally offered through the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog, this beautifully restored Auburn model is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Crystal Lake's architectural history. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully redesigned by Crystal Lake interior design studio Caitlin Pappas Home, led by a lifelong Crystal Lake local, this historic residence seamlessly blends timeless Craftsman character with the comfort, beauty, and functionality of modern living. Fresh exterior paint, lush landscaping, and a nostalgic white picket fence create exceptional curb appeal. Inside, abundant natural light, tall ceilings, original architectural details, and designer-curated interiors create a home that feels both welcoming and timeless. The picturesque living room flows effortlessly into a stunning chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, an elegant backsplash, and a statement range with custom hood. Designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen opens to a breathtaking dining room surrounded by walls of windows and anchored by period-inspired lighting. The main level also features a charming bedroom with custom built-ins and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. The luxurious primary bathroom showcases premium finishes and timeless design. Just beyond the kitchen, a newly added scullery elevates both form and function with laundry, an auxiliary sink, generous storage, and additional workspace. The partially finished basement offers a comfortable lounge area and abundant storage. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms continue the home's legacy of quality craftsmanship with solid mahogany Craftsman doors, original hardwood floors, oversized windows, and beautiful natural light. The front bedroom features custom built-ins, while the expansive middle bedroom offers flexible space for a playroom, reading nook, or home office. A beautifully renovated full bathroom serves all three bedrooms. Additional highlights include original hardwood flooring, substantial wood trim, graceful arched openings, all-new lighting, and a new electric fireplace. Outside, enjoy a two-car garage, a storage shed with loft, and a private, fenced-in backyard with patio that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Located just blocks from downtown Crystal Lake, top-rated schools, the Metra station, restaurants, boutiques, and year-round community events, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the area's most beloved neighborhoods. Thoughtfully restored from top to bottom, this Sears Original Auburn honors its architectural heritage while embracing the way today's families live. Every finish, fixture, and design decision has been intentionally selected to create interiors that feel collected, cohesive, and effortlessly livable. A rare opportunity to own not just a beautifully restored home, but a piece of Crystal Lake's history.
