222 Clinton Street Boone, IA 50036

Until recent years, this home was built, owned and occupied by the Hughes family (who helped to bring railroads to Iowa). Its understated grandeur has since been maintained and reinstated where needed to remain true to the spirit of its age and original design (while incorporating all of the modern necessities - updated electrical, central a/c, whole house fan, etc.).
The phrase 'They just don't build them like this anymore' couldn't be truer. Rock solid with character. Note the romantic front porch with scrollwork and uncommonly thick floor boards; ornate hardware, original unpainted woodwork & floors throughout and the true bonus room - a sleeping porch. Don't miss the parlor (game/family room?) off the entry and the den (potentially a 2nd full bath). The kitchen and dining room have pass-through cabinets that open between them to simplify setting the table.
Spectacular ever changing mature landscaping.
4- bedrooms; all with generous closets.
2- garages (each can house 2-cars; one with an additional area for a workshop and stairs to a loft area).
The over-sized lot is enhanced with a sweet gardener's shed or 3-season hobby house complete with electricity. This stand alone building is surrounded by windows which at one time had a wood burning stove for winter use and could again.
Located on the east side of Boone - easy access to HWY-30.
It was a gem back in the day... and that gem continues to shine!
