From the Zillow listing:

 

Step into Clinton’s history with this remarkable 1900 home, once considered one of the city’s finest residences. Situated on nearly one acre with the adjoining corner lot included, this rare property is just two blocks from the Historic Square and offers space seldom found this close to downtown. Major improvements have already been completed, including approximately $20,000 in professional foundation repairs with a new steel beam, support jacks, and leveling of the home. A brand-new roof will be installed prior to closing with an acceptable offer, providing added value and financing confidence. Inside, you’ll find timeless craftsmanship with beautiful original woodwork, a grand staircase, and hardwood floors that showcase the home’s historic character. The home has been owner-occupied while improvements were made, including upstairs mini-split heating and cooling, plus updates to much of the plumbing and electrical, allowing the next owner to continue restoring this classic home over time. Outdoor amenities include an in-ground pool, concrete patio, privacy fencing, and a detached four-car garage with alley access and two overhead doors. The adjoining lot offers endless possibilities for expanded outdoor living, gardens, recreation, or future development (subject to city approval). Located less than one mile from Truman Lake and Missouri Department of Conservation land with miles of hiking and outdoor recreation, and under an hour from the Kansas City metro, this property offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern improvements, and small-town living. If you’ve been searching for a historic Missouri home with character, land, and many of the major structural improvements already completed, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
