Step into Cape Girardeau history with this beautifully preserved 3-bed, 2-bath American Foursquare. Located in the Historic District with incredible views of the Mississippi River and Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in all the right places.
Original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, period lighting, and a stunning wood staircase set the tone the moment you walk in. The living and dining rooms offer rich architectural details—historic wood columns, a bay window overlooking the landscaped yard, and sweeping river views from multiple angles. The updated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and exposed brick that highlights the home’s past.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms are spacious and bright, each offering a unique vantage point of Downtown Cape, the river, or the bridge. The upper bath features original subway tile that has been lovingly maintained.
Outdoor living shines here. Enjoy sunrise views from the front porch swing, relax on the shady back porch, or unwind under the pergola with mature grapevines and a hammock. A detached 2-car garage with electricity rounds out the property.
Just steps from downtown dining, shops, the farmers market, and riverfront attractions, this home offers an unmatched blend of history, charm, and walkability. A rare opportunity to own one of Cape Girardeau’s most iconic historic homes. Agent Owned
