The real estate agent’s description of this house in Holcomb, Texas Kansas, is charming: hardwood floor, fireplace, built-in china hutch, sunny breakfast nook, etc. (Notice they omit one important fact?)
But, the real reason it’s in Neatorama is because it’s the Clutter home. You know, the Clutters as in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood [wiki]. Creepy.

It’s Holcomb, Kansas (not Texas).
I’d have a a hard time spending too much time in that basement.

Wow, that is scary – $275,000 for a house in Kansas?!? Even with 7 acres? You can buy a condo in Chicago for that money and live in civilization.

A 2-bedroom condo with no yard 
the real estate market is crazy, huh?

I, like many, are too fascinated by such a blood and gore story like In C.Blood. I read in my browsings some months ago, that the house was for sale. so, I suppose it hasn’t sold. I’m amazed that someone hasn’t re-done it completely, or burned it down by now.
But some large family has lived there happily for a long time up until it went for sale last yr.
I guess Hollywood needs to buy it for even more movies to be made about it.
After all Lizzie Borden’s home is still going strong as a bed and breakfast. Yes, really.
and yes, horrors!

hey, what is the address for the clutter house? I am doing a huge research project for school on In Cold Blood and would love to at least see the house from the road, but haven’t been able to find the location (other than Holcomb, Kansas) online. Thanks!

@jessi… there’s no such thing as a “huge research project” on In Cold Blood. All you need to know about that is readable in Truman’s book. The house is irrelevant structure unfairly maligned by superstition. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if the price was right.
