Own a Piece of Clinton's History
Marketing description
Step back in time while investing in the future at 121-127 S. Center Street in Clinton. Rich in history and timeless character, this remarkable property was constructed in 1856 and holds the distinction of being Clinton's first brick office building. Beautifully maintained over the years, the building underwent an extensive renovation in the late 1990s, thoughtfully preserving its historic charm while enhancing its functionality for modern-day use. More recently, the roof and gutters were replaced in 2021, providing added value and peace of mind for the next owner. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings that create an impressive sense of openness and grandeur. One side of the building features a spacious open floor plan, ideal for workstations, cubicles, reception area, or a collaborative office environment.

The partially finished basement expands the usable square footage with a meeting room, break area, second restroom, and abundant storage, making it well-suited for both employees and day-to-day operations. Upstairs, you'll find an exciting value-add opportunity with the potential to create two one-bedroom apartments, offering future rental income or the flexibility for live/work use.
