Don't miss this perfectly situated property right in the heart of town, close to everything, but located on a lovely residential street. Zoned for Potter Gray and BGJH/BGHS, this cottage is a piece of Americana history. Ordered direct from Sears, Roebuck and Co. in 1950, the house was delivered by truck, arriving in pre-built wall sections (measuring roughly 4'x8' to 8'x8') that were bolted together on-site. Sears Co sold fewer than 3,000 of its Homart Homes between 1948-1951, with this gem being one. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1979, passed down through 3 generations coming to WKU for school and getting their start in life. It's now ready for you. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a large living room, spacious kitchen, and separate laundry area, the property has been refreshed with new flooring and paint in Aug 2026, plus replacement windows over the years and the electric panel updated to a breaker panel in 2012. An attached carport allows for plenty of off street parking, and the rear yard is perfect for gardening, entertaining, or kids toys. You'll be setting yourself up right for a first-time home, investment property, or a college kid looking for off campus housing at this price. Call today! Sold AS-IS.
