Sears Homes - The Oakdale

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 is entitled The Oakdale, first published in 1925. The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the lot:

One of the most popular types of homes is the five-room bungalow. When it is as pretty and homelike as the Oakdale, it commands a good rental or selling price in any neighbourhood. And when its rooms are of such comfortable size and arrangement as these, with a convenience in almost every corner, it makes a home to which a family becomes more attached as time passes.



This house has:
- 2 bedrooms and 1 bath

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

- style: bungalow

All kinds of comments are welcome.

The houseplan is from one of the three books I bought and I have not found it online. So, I scanned the plans for you to see but you can't find them on the Internet.
