Description
Some homes hold history in their walls. 1128 Carney Avenue is one of them! Designed in 1939 by noted architect Henry C. Gerlach, this Kasota stone-and-wood Colonial Revival has been thoughtfully restored by owners who truly understood its significance. Walk through the front door, and you feel it immediately, the warmth of original hardwood, the detailed original trim and doors that have greeted generations, along with a quiet confidence that comes from craftsmanship built to last generations. The formal living room is both warm and striking, featuring a white fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Step through the den, on original African Teak wood, to a richly paneled retreat with coffered ceilings, a billiard area, a granite wet bar, and French doors that open to the grounds. In the family room, a remarkable piece of the home’s history remains: an original artwork gifted to Harry Carney by architect Henry Gerlach, staying with the house as it has for generations. The 2018 custom kitchen renovation honors the home’s character while enhancing everyday functionality, featuring a farmhouse sink, granite countertops, a butler’s pantry, and high-end appliances, all centered around a timeless island. Outside, 1.15 acres unfold into something rare for in-town living: an apple orchard, raspberry patch, tended flower and vegetable gardens, mature trees, and room for a future pool. The property includes both an attached 2-stall garage and an extra-deep 2-stall detached garage with above storage. Additional features include an overabundance of storage, 2 cedar closets, laundry chutes on every level, in-floor heat in the mudroom, invisible fencing, and Class 4 architectural shingles. All original hardwood flooring throughout, along with all original light fixtures, except in the renovated custom kitchen. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property with a story to carry forward.
