32 N Ellis St, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701

Historic property dating back to circa 1880, offering a rare opportunity for restoration and redevelopment in a C-1 General Commercial zoning district. This home is rich with local history — it was once the only house along the driveway leading to the end of Ellis Street and was previously owned by Fred Groves, founder of Ford Groves, adding to its unique story and character. Inside, the property features beautiful original brick walls, a full utility basement, and significant recent electrical upgrades including a new electrical mast, new electrical box, and 200-amp service. A covered carport provides protected parking. There was previously a studio-style space upstairs; however, it cannot currently be represented as a dwelling unit due to lack of access.

This property presents an excellent opportunity for restoration, adaptive reuse, or commercial redevelopment for a buyer who appreciates history and vision.
