Single Family Residence In Cape Girardeau

They simply don’t build homes like this anymore. Tucked away on 2.14 wooded acres, this exceptionally well-built and extensively updated home combines the quality and character of established construction with the finishes and conveniences buyers want today. With only two owners in approximately 50 years, the home has been incredibly well cared for and thoughtfully improved. The current owners selected quality materials and made extensive updates with the intention of making this their forever home.

From the substantial two-brick-thick exterior construction and solid wood interior doors to Brazilian teak hardwood flooring, custom hardwood Beussink cabinetry, granite countertops, and quality finishes throughout, the difference is evident. These were not quick or builder-grade updates. Improvements were thoughtfully chosen for beauty, durability, and longevity.

The setting is equally special. Surrounded by mature trees on 2.14 acres, the home has a private, almost treehouse-like feel with beautiful wooded views in nearly every direction, yet you’re still just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and schools. The outdoor spaces have been extensively improved with professional landscaping and thoughtfully designed plantings, retaining walls, a paver patio with fire pit, new concrete, an expanded driveway with room for an RV, raised garden beds, and multiple outdoor living areas that take full advantage of the wooded setting.

Inside, you’ll find 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and laundry hookups on both the main level and in the basement. The main level offers a spacious family room, informal sitting room, large formal dining room, and a finished four-season sunroom with a mini split, wet bar, sink, mini refrigerator, hood fan, and gas hookup for grilling. Just outside, the composite deck overlooks the wooded backyard and seamlessly connects the home’s indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The primary suite features a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a tiled glass shower, freestanding soaking tub, double vanity with granite countertops, and custom Beussink cabinetry. The walkout basement provides even more living and entertaining space with LVT flooring, a projector for movie nights, built-in shelving, a climbing wall nook, kitchenette with sink, cabinetry and pantry, abundant storage, and a second set of laundry hookups.

Additional improvements include new windows, new front and rear entry doors, an oversized sliding glass door, remodeled bathrooms, a main-level laundry room/bathroom, and a heated and cooled garage with a floor drain.

The combination of square footage, acreage, privacy, construction quality, and extensive improvements would be incredibly difficult to replicate in a new build at this price point. This is a home that truly needs to be experienced in person to appreciate the quality of construction, beautiful setting, and level of care that has gone into it.
