Home For Sale near Truman Lake

Step back in time with this remarkable historic home built in 1900, once considered among the most beautiful residences in Clinton. Located at 413 S Orchard Street, this property now extends to include the adjacent corner lot at 415 S Orchard, creating a rare, nearly one-acre in-town setting just two blocks from the Historic Square. This property offers exceptional flexibility--perfect for an investor looking to restore the main home and potentially add a second residence, or for a single-family buyer dreaming of expansive gardens, outdoor entertaining, or simply the luxury of space rarely found this close to downtown. The home is being sold as a fixer-upper, yet it is currently livable and was owner-occupied for the past five years while thoughtful improvements were underway. The character is undeniable, with beautiful original woodwork, a stunning staircase, and hardwood floors in great condition--a true testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era and an inspiring foundation for restoration. The sellers have begun revitalization with mini-split systems upstairs for heating and cooling, along with updates to much of the plumbing and electrical, allowing the next owner to continue enhancing the home while comfortably living in it. Outdoor amenities include an in-ground pool, cement patio off the back of the home, privacy fencing, and a detached four-car garage with alley access and two roll-up doors--features rarely found together in an in-town historic property. Located less than a mile from Truman Lake and Missouri Conservation land with miles of hiking trails, and under an hour from downtown KC, this property offers a unique lifestyle--historic charm, outdoor recreation, and small-town living all in one. If you have imagination, appreciation for history, and a vision for what this home can become, this is your opportunity to bring a classic Clinton treasure forward into its next century--a home you can live in now while restoring over timee dream with me.
