The Boatner House was built in 1835 and is listed on the National Historic Registry. It is a rare example of Creole architecture with beautiful Federal Adams mantels and two fully independent living spaces connected by porches — all on a half-acre lot along the main stretch in Clinton. The front house welcomes you with 12-foot ceilings, beautiful old wood floors, wood windows that flood the space with natural light, and a wraparound porch that's very inviting. The Federal Adams mantels and original baseboards give it that character you simply can't replicate. The full kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a built-in microwave, plenty of cabinets and lots of natural light. At the rear of the home are two rooms, one of which could be a bedroom and the other dining room or office. The rear house offers 10-foot ceilings, a generously sized living area, and a larger kitchen with a big island and barstool seating, refrigerator, and the property's laundry connections. Both homes are fully self-contained — one bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, living area — making this an ideal setup for multi-generational living, rental income, or live-and-rent flexibility. Updates include a roof replaced in 2018, interior renovations approximately 20 years ago, and a brand new AC for the front house in 2026. Both structures have central air and heat. The grounds are just as impressive — a stunning old LIve oak with low-hanging limbs frames the backyard, and the historic plantings give the property real presence. There are also two outside storage areas. History, charm, and income potential in one — properties like this don't come around often.
