This listing is the historic Carnes House, former home of Jack and Gressie Carnes. Gressie Carnes was a Democratic Committee woman for years and was quite active in Democratic Party business. Jack Carnes ran, among other things, Camark Pottery, currently one of the more collectable American potteries. The home was built in the Mediterranean Town House Style, a private estate for the Carnes'. Facing California Street is a concrete stem-wall, topped with a substantial cast Iron fence. The concrete driveway is curvilinear, as it enters the property to reduce driveway speed. On the passenger side of the driveway, there is a concrete receiving area with steps that lead to the open terrace, and covered Gallery. Also from California Street is a wide walkway leading to the covered Gallery. The Front door is solid wood, with leaded beveled glass. As you enter the Parlor, to your right is a wood-burning fireplace with Italian tile front: to your left, through solid wood beveled glass pocket doors is the Library: and ahead of you, again through solid wood, beveled glass pocket doors is the formal dining room. The clearing hall is accessed from the Library, Dining Room, and Kitchen. In the Kitchen area there is a Breakfast area, an array of solid wood knotty-pine cabinets, a Cedar-lined Butler's Pantry and a door leading to the Utility Room and north back entrance. Just outside of the Kitchen, in the Clearing Hall, to your right, is the south back entrance, accessed through an energy-saving double-door exit-hall. Two large Bedrooms with private Bathrooms can be accessed from the Clearing Hall, which also contains storage closets, a wine rack, and basement access. The Master Bedroom and Bathroom are private, upstairs. There is a burglar alarm that was installed in December of 2012. The Basement contains a Game Room, Wine Cellar, Mechanical Rooms, Bath Room, and Storage Rooms. From the Basement is an outside exit to the backyard. In the back yard there is a Summer House, with wood burning fireplace, a Green House and a large grass area for entertaining.
