This welcoming 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom brick German vernacular cottage on a tree-lined street is just 2 blocks away from the Mighty Mississippi River and historic downtown Cape Girardeau's shops, restaurants, historic sites, river walk, and SEMO's River Campus.This home has been restored with an eye for family gatherings and was built by Joseph Lansman in 1892. The main floor is friendly for mobility-challenged guests with no stairs on the main level when entering from the front door. The space The Space The home is a fully equipped, comfortable, cozy spot for your family with plenty of space to spare. Walking into the cottage from the front door, you're greeted by a welcoming foyer that leads to the living room, dining room and kitchen. These three rooms are airy and open to each other, and span more than 40 feet - ideal for sizable family gatherings. A powder bath is located off of the main floor laundry room just off the kitchen, and the back door opens up to a small covered porch with 5 steps down leading to the yard and parking spaces off the alley. The main floor owner's suite bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and an attached bath with a shower. Up the stairs, a family room provides even more living space (with views of the Mississippi River!) outfitted with toys, books, and games. Also upstairs is a large full bathroom and two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a queen and a twin. The stairs are a little steep and uneven (it's a very old house!), so please be mindful as you go up and down. There are no stairs on the main level of the home when entered from the front door, making the home friendly for those with limited mobility.
