1739 Bessie Street, Cape Girardeau, MO, 63701

This darling bungalow has been carefully maintained and is full of charm and potential! Vintage details throughout include hardwood floors hiding beneath the carpet, a wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and a bright sunroom. The spacious bonus room upstairs offers great flexibility and could potentially serve as a third bedroom with the addition of a window A/C unit or mini-split. The unfinished basement provides plenty of storage and includes an additional toilet, shower, and sink. Outside, you'll find a beautifully maintained yard, detached one-car garage, carport, and a desirable Sunset Hills location. Recent improvements include a roof approximately 1.5 years old, garage roof approximately 3 years old, and deck approximately 6 years old. Being sold AS IS, this home is a great opportunity for a first-time buyer, investor, or anyone looking for an affordable home with character and room to make it their own. The basement does experience some water intrusion during heavy rains and may benefit from waterproofing and/or the addition of a sump pump.
