🏡 The 50th Tech House: Where Craftsmanship Meets Community
Nestled in the heart of Kearney at 5305 18th Avenue Place, this beautiful new construction home isn’t just another listing — it’s a milestone. Built by the students of the Kearney High School Construction Technology Program, this home marks the 50th house completed through the initiative, and it stands as a proud symbol of what hands-on education and community support can achieve.
A Program Rooted in Purpose
The Tech House program offers KHS students real-world experience in the trades, walking them through the homebuilding process from framing to finish. While some foundational elements like concrete work are contracted out, the majority of the home’s craftsmanship — cabinetry, flooring, painting, trim, and more — is completed by the students under professional supervision. The result? A home built with learning, pride, and precision in every detail.
At Rooted Realty Group, we are beyond honored to represent this project. As longtime supporters of Kearney Public Schools — with Ashlyne as a KHS alum and Wendy as a former school board member — we understand just how much this program means to our community, and we’re thrilled to help bring this special home to market.
Inside the Home
Spanning 3,428 finished square feet, the home includes:
- 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms
- An open-concept main floor with a gas fireplace, quartz countertops, and white cabinetry
- A luxurious primary suite featuring an Onyx shower with Moen Smart Shower controls
- A spacious basement with a large family room, 2 conforming bedrooms, and ample storage
- A 3-car garage with 220v electric car charging
- Energy-efficient features like a Lennox HVAC system, Andersen low-E windows, and on-demand water heater
- Durable LP Diamond Kote siding, composite deck, and top-tier construction throughout
Flexibility for the Future
The yard is in rough grade and appliances are not included — but the seller is offering a $15,000 buyer credit, giving the future homeowner the freedom to invest in appliances, landscaping, or other custom touches.
This home is not just thoughtfully designed — it’s a testament to what’s possible when education, community, and craftsmanship come together. It’s the perfect opportunity to own a piece of Kearney’s story.
