About the Home

Step back in time-without sacrificing modern convenience. This beautifully preserved 1928 Sears "San Jose" kit home is one of only three authenticated examples (according to the Sears House Seeker National Database of Sears Houses in the U.S.) in existence. Originally offered for just three years through the iconic Sears Modern Homes catalog, this gem of a home is as rare as it is charming. From its stucco exterior and arched interior doorways to the wrought-iron grill insert in the signature tower alcove, every detail reflects the distinctive architecture of a bygone era. Inside, you'll find two bedrooms conveniently located on the main floor, a generously sized living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and period charm throughout. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the location blends tranquility with unbeatable access: Caraluzzi's Market, Heibeck's Ice Cream Stand, Route 7, Wilton schools, Town Center, and commuter routes are all just minutes away. Whether you're a historic home enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the character and craftsmanship of a true original, 48 Own Home Avenue offers a rare opportunity to live in a piece of architectural history.
