501 S 2nd St, Clinton, MO, 64735

In 1913 a young man attending the Clinton Public Schools took home a free set of eggs to hatch his very own flock of chickens. What does this have to do with this property? Maybe you've heard Clinton referred to as the “baby chick capital of the world”? This is why… Mr. booth became known for establishing one of the largest hatchery businesses. Because of the his success he was able to build this very prominent home. This Tudor style brick home is nestled into a corner lot with shade trees and surrounded by brick & wrought iron fencing. Entering you are greeted by the beautiful arched doorway and walk right into a formal entry area. To the left you will find a large living room with a fireplace, doors that walk out onto the patio area as well as a large screened in porch. The large formal dining space with a Dutch style door leads out onto another large screened in porch. You will fall in love with the butler’s pantry area that you have to walk through to get to the kitchen. Also, on the main floor you will find 2 bedrooms, a full bath & 2 1/2 baths. You will soon discover there are more modern amenities than you might realize for a home built in the 1930s; ample closet space w/ 2 closets in almost every room, automatic lighting in most of the closets, and much more. On the 2nd floor you will find the remaining bedrooms and a very nice office space with built-in shelving and a private porch area. Another unique feature of the home is the space that is currently the home’s attic but has the potential to be converted into even more living space. The basement living room with fireplace is not finished anymore, but boasts the potential for you to bring the space back to life. Something worth noting is the fact that several big components of this home have been recently upgraded including the HVAC, water heater, roof and foundation supports. With many lilacs along the West and South side of the property and a brick patio area, this is the garden of anyone’s dreams.
