Property Description

Some homes hold history. This one invites you to become part of it. Set on 5 acres in the heart of Clinton, the renowned Powers-Wheat House is a historic treasure dating to circa 1845. Carefully preserved & restored, this classic example of Greek Revival architecture pairs 180 years of history with modern updates. Beginning with a deep front porch are fluted columns and a sky-blue ceiling open into the grand hall showcasing the original hand-carved mahogany staircase, 13-foot ceilings, & wide-plank pine floors. Tall windows fill the rooms with natural light, while substantial moldings, transoms, & wide baseboards add to the home's architectural character. The 3,600sf main house offers 4 bedrooms & 2 baths, with 2 bedrooms downstairs: the primary & a second bedroom (currently used as a formal dressing room.) Both the primary & upstairs bathrooms have been renovated. Fireplaces anchor the formal living room & den, where a vaulted ceiling & built-in cabinetry create a warm gathering space. The kitchen features granite countertops, a Dacor gas cooktop, extensive cabinetry, & a large island with seating. Inside laundry completes the main house. The 1,200sf guest house was completely redone in 2022, featuring 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, laundry, marble countertops, & surround sound. Its living area includes a fireplace & an expansive wet bar with illuminated display cabinetry & bar seating, a covered patio w/ an outdoor kitchen, & a newly resurfaced heated pool, hot tub, sun shelf, & a fire pit.
