Property Description
Own a piece of Cape Girardeau history with this beautifully preserved 1900 bungalow overlooking the Mississippi River. Sitting high on Good Hope Street in the Historic Downtown District, this property has been thoughtfully converted into two separate units, each with its own private entrance—an ideal setup for house hacking, multi-generational living, or investment.
The main-level unit, River Dusk, showcases original character at every turn—10 ft ceilings, oversized windows, glass French doors, and the beautifully maintained green-tiled fireplace with a marble hearth. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, custom deep cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a gas range. This level offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with original tile and a clawfoot tub, a walk-in pantry, laundry room, and a covered front porch with river views.
The upper-level unit, River Dawn, has its own private entrance and a bright, inviting layout with refinished Antique Hart Pine floors. This unit includes 2 bedrooms, a large bathroom with a double-sink vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower, a modern kitchen with island seating and stainless appliances, private laundry, and a living room with a bay window framing panoramic river and bridge views.
The property is currently operated as furnished short-term rentals, and all furnishings are included—creating a true turnkey opportunity for the next owner. At the list price of $429,900, the property produces a 7.27% cap rate, offering strong cash-flow potential in a highly desirable downtown location.
Both units share a fully fenced backyard and enjoy the walkability of Historic Downtown Cape—local shops, dining, the riverfront, and the Saturday farmers market are just a short stroll away.
Whether you'd like to live in one unit and rent the other, continue operating successful furnished rentals, or explore long-term leasing options, this property offers flexibility, historic character, and unmatched views rarely found in Cape Girardeau.
