This cottage has been in the same family for over a century and awaits its next chapter. Famously offered as a mail-order kit from Sears, the catalog described Model No. 7041 as "a neat, compact and comfortable little bungalow of pleasing design and low cost." As intended, its size and affordability made it the perfect summer retreat in the 1920s, when Emsworth was wooded land valued for its proximity to Camp Horne. At the time, there were few neighbors, Joseph Horne himself among them. 239 Allison has stood watch on its corner lot ever since, as the area around it evolved. With nearby amenities and convenience to the city, it didn't remain a secret for long. Now available for the first time ever, this home needs loving care to restore it, but its integrity remains. The roof was new in 2021 and the windows in 2020. Original hardwoods lie in wait under the carpet. All it needs now is an owner of vision with an improvement budget and a bit of whimsy. Opportunity knocks.
