Property Description
On a quiet tree-lined street in Cape Girardeau's charming Sunset neighborhood, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage waits to become your home. Undeniable curb appeal is enhanced by the arch-topped wooden front door. Stepping through it you'll find hardwood floors in the living room, with its decorative fireplace and plaster ceiling medallion. A door to the right leads to the sunporch, while the living room opens to the remodeled kitchen. Two bedrooms - one being used as an office - and a bath round out the main level, while upstairs you'll find extra storage, as well as two more bedrooms and a full bath. Control noise or the flow of heat from the main level to the upstairs with the beveled glass single French door at the base of the stairs. A full unfinished basement offers plenty of extra storage. Step into the fenced back yard from a small rear sunroom. A detached garage and alley access provide extra options for parking and access. Priced below appraisal to allow for the touches that will make it your own. Look no further - your storybook's next chapter awaits you here.
