Sears Homes is my series of homes that were designed by Sears, Roebuck and Co. From 1908 to 1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. issued catalogues with house designs in them. Customers would choose a home and mail their request to the company. The company would then send all the supplies ordered (pre-cut lumber, lighting, doors, etc.) and the customer would build their own home! Now as I've said before I love more simple, classic homes and these are exactly that so you can imagine my excitement upon finding these lots. I was so excited in fact, I ordered three books filled with these homes so be prepared for a lot of homes in this series!

This lot was requested by Savannah42 because their mom had actually lived in this same model of house! Pretty cool, eh? Anyway, the Vallonia was first published in 1921 and here's an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:

The Vallonia is a prize bungalow home. It has been built in hundreds of localities. Photographs and many testimonials confirm the splendid features and value. Customers tell of saving as much as $2,500 on their Vallonia and often selling at a big profit. The Vallonia is favoured by a sloping, overhanging roof and shingled dormer which has three windows. Roof has a timber cornice effect. Sided with cypress (the wood eternal). Perfect harmony in all details marks the architecture of the Vallonia.



This house has:
- 4 or 5 bedrooms and 1 bath (you can easily convert the smallest room on the second floor into another bath)

- partially furnished (all plumbing, lighting, some electronics, and counters)

- style: bungalow

- Built with Numenor's AnyGameStarter

All kinds of comments are welcome.

The original houseplan is found here: http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1927-1932.htm

Please note the unfinished basement upon request by Savannah42 as well as the double garage in the back. personally, I prefer a single garage seeing as it gives you more yard space but use the lot as you will. Enjoy!
