An historic gem in mint condition, this authentic 1936 Craftsman cottage-style Sears Kit house, called ''The Vallonia'' has been lovingly modernized and carefully renovated. Built between 1909 and 1942, Sears homes were known for their appealing designs and high-quality building materials, such as old-growth heart-fir floors and cedar siding. Set in the historic village of Brownsburg - established in 1793 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a Virginia Historic Landmark - the home offers a modernized kitchen with propane range, three bedrooms, three walk-in closets, two full baths, an open living and dining area, and a large basement, welcoming all from a generous Craftsman-style front porch. The well-landscaped, fully fenced backyard features a detached studio/office atop a springhouse garden room. Modern electrical and plumbing, along with insulated windows and a recent (2026) HVAC system, blend the functionality of the new with the appeal of a vintage home. This unique and distinctly American example of pre-WWII architectural history evokes a cozy, simpler lifestyle in a charming and timeless setting.
