Classic bungalow character and meaningful updates create a rare combination of charm, functionality, and future potential in this centrally located Cape Girardeau home. From the covered front porch to the original millwork, hardwood floors, vintage built-ins, and wide cased openings, this home delivers the warmth and personality buyers look for in a classic early-century property. The spacious kitchen offers abundant custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, exposed brick accents, and generous workspace, blending vintage appeal with practical use. The bathroom features a clawfoot soaking tub with room to add a clawfoot tub shower kit if desired. Approximately 263 additional upstairs square feet provides excellent potential for future finished living space as a possible third bedroom, office, or bonus area. Major improvements include new AC in 2023, PEX plumbing updates in 2022, water heater in 2021, updated electrical panel, 2018 roofs on both the house and detached garage, gutters added in 2022, and partial sewer line replacement completed in 2015. The unfinished basement includes a separate shower plus additional plumbing potential for future sink and toilet installation, offering a strong opportunity for a second full bathroom along with substantial storage and utility space. Outside, the fenced backyard features a large deck, screened porch, detached garage, storage shed, mature trees, and alley access. Conveniently located near Southeast Missouri State University, shopping, dining, schools, and healthcare facilities, this property offers character, updates, and flexibility in the heart of Cape Girardeau.
