The Arkansas home President Bill Clinton lived in during his teenage years is on the market for $345,000.
The listing marks the property's first time on the public market, Realtor.com reports. The home's owner is not denying that the 3,708-square-foot home, known as the Birnbaum-Shubetz House, needs an update.
The six-bedroom residence in Hot Springs is on the National Register of Historic Places, which could afford certain tax credits to the purchaser.
Clinton lived in the home from 1954-61, the period when he reportedly first identified his political aspirations. The young man later went on to be the governor of Arkansas and the 42nd President of the United States.
Built in 1896, the structure was originally a Queen Anne-style home. It was renovated to its present Tudor Revival design in 1938, Realtor.com states.
The home offers mountain views and a four-stall stable and sits on nearly an acre high atop North Hot Springs Park Uptown.
Chris Rix, listing agent and owner, says the Clintons sold it to its previous owners. The home had been in limbo due to legal circumstances before he purchased it, he says.(snip)
Renovations underway include electrical and gas-line updates, as well as two new kitchens with quartz countertops and soft-close cabinets.
"I have had a lot of interest in the home, but I want to keep it preserved," Rix said. "The house was full of trash when I got it, but I cleaned it all up. I have the flooring and paint ready to go."
Rix said he should have the work done by mid-April to May and wants to make sure the home goes to someone who wants to preserve its history.

“Renovations underway include...two new kitchens”
Doesn’t sound like Bill grew up in humble circumstances, contrary to what I recall him saying about his early years.
Hits the market? Better put some ice on that.
I’ve never heard of a house having two kitchens. That house does not look so grandiose either, is it old? Was that something they did back then? Why?
Does that $345,000 price include an exorcism, or as that extra?
The article doesn’t say.
The link also shows a photo from the back of the house. It’s a good size house.
The living room and one bedroom come with vintage Astroturf.
They need to check for bodies under the house!
