Charm and convenience converge on one of Cape Girardeau's scenic streets. This historic house offers an incredible amount of space on 4 different levels. Enter through the enclosed porch to the living room and you'll see the beauty that Cape's finest older houses possess - decorative brick fireplace with built-ins, hardwood floors and crown molding. French doors lead to a spacious dining room that also has built-ins for beauty and function. Follow the floor naturally into the kitchen with its breakfast bar, stainless appliances and ample work and storage space. An additional room behind the kitchen can function as TV room, family room, office or exercise room, and opens to the back yard. A convenient half bath rounds out the main level. Upstairs you'll find 4 amply sized bedrooms and a hall bath. Another flight of stairs takes you to the attic area, which has been finished and can serve as sleeping area, playroom or additional gathering space. The basement level has a separate studio apartment with full bath, and plenty of storage, plus an additional partly finished room. You'll find alley access with additional off street parking behind the house, as well as a driveway and garage space from the street. This beautiful home has sheltered its people for decades, and is just waiting to shelter you.
