Cool local history: Restored 1910 Sears Kit Home in Crystal Lake (Open House Saturday!)
​
Long before online shopping, Sears shipped entire pre-cut "kit homes" across America by railcar! The "Auburn" Craftsman bungalow was celebrated for its handcrafted quality and timeless lines.
This home at 84 S. Caroline Street in downtown Crystal Lake preserves that original history—solid mahogany doors, period woodwork, and built-ins—seamlessly blended with a high-end custom redesign (custom chef’s kitchen, scullery, board-and-batten fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom & bath).
