Bill Clinton’s childhood home in Arkansas is up for sale for $345,000

Hot Springs, Arkansas, home where Bill Clinton rose is available for a modest $345,000. The listing marks the first time a property has been listed on the public market.

But the 3,708-square-foot house, known as the Birnbaum-Schubetz house, is in need of an update.

This six-bedroom abode is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a designation that may allow certain tax credits.

Clinton lived in this house during his teenage years, from 1954 to 1961, when he first defined his political aspirations. He subsequently became Governor of Arkansas and the 42nd President of the United States.

This building was originally built as a Queen Anne house in 1896. It was restored in 1938 to its current Tudor design.

The house is located almost on an acre, high above North Hot Springs Park in an uptown area. It offers a beautiful view of the mountains and a stable with four stalls.

Need work

Listing agent Chris Ricks, of the Rix Realty Advantage Team Realtors, owns the home and says the Clintons sold it to the previous owners. Unique legal circumstances left the house in limbo before he bought it.

“The husband’s health deteriorated and he passed away, while his wife was left with a lifetime of possessions,” Rix says of the previous owners. “He ended up stuck in a trust, so I went to court to petition to buy the property. At that time, vagrants lived in the house. I wanted to protect the house from further destruction.”

The space has undergone various conservation efforts over the years and is currently being renovated. Work has been completed to upgrade the electrical and gas lines and plans are in the works for two new kitchens with quartz countertops and soft close cabinets.

historic house

“I was very interested in the house, but I want to keep it,” Rix says. “The house was full of rubbish when I picked it up, but I cleaned everything. I have the floor and paint ready to go.”

The historic significance of the house encourages him to make sure the job is done right, and he hopes to do most of it himself.

“The city is very excited about this project,” says Ricks. “I should be able to do the work in mid-April-May. … I just want to be a good keeper or make sure the house goes to someone who wants to keep its history.”
