1922 Clay St, Saint Joseph, MO 64501

Buyers Agents Welcome Nestled at the crest of a gentle hill in the prestigious Harris Kemper Historic District, this 1890 Colonial masterpiece at 1922 Clay St welcomes you with timeless elegance and modern comforts. As you step through the grand 9' front door, an exquisite staircase and open walls draw your eye across the expansive first floor, where original features like a stately fireplace and clean, symmetrical lines evoke the warmth of a bygone era. This is more than a house—it’s a family haven, perfect for those who cherish historic charm and crave space to create lasting memories. The heart of this home is its breathtaking kitchen, transformed from three rooms into one magnificent open space. A 14' island and matching wall counter, paired with sleek IKEA cabinetry, make it a dream for hosting lively gatherings or quiet family dinners. Imagine holiday feasts, game nights, or casual brunches where loved ones spill into the spacious hallway or the versatile bonus room, currently a cozy home office. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows—signature of historic homes—flood the interior with natural light, while front and rear doors invite gentle breezes to flow through, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere. Outside, the magic continues on a sprawling lot that’s a paradise for family fun. A large patio sets the stage for summer barbecues, while a 25' above-ground pool, in-ground trampoline, playground, and basketball court promise endless adventures. Come winter, the hill transforms into a thrilling sledding course, where kids craft ramps and turns from top to bottom. A retaining wall garden below the pool adds a touch of charm, and an unfinished flagstone patio offers a canvas for your personal vision. With a shop/1-car garage, the possibilities are endless—room to grow, play, or simply savor the moment. Perched high, the upper windows offer serene views across treetops, connecting you to the beauty of the historic neighborhood where nearly every home on the street is owner-occupied, fostering a tight-knit community. Built around 1890, this Colonial’s simple yet striking design captures the eye and the heart, making it the ideal escape for a family who values space, history, and connection. Close to schools yet far enough to feel like a retreat, 1922 Clay St is ready to welcome its next chapter. Will it be yours?
