Elegant place

Located in the Lexington Place subdivision, this home is close to all Cape Girardeau amenities, including West Park Mall and shopping on Kingshighway.

Outdoor landscaping accents this ranch home's style and curbside appeal. Arches and paned glass windows with transoms set the home apart from others. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an unfinished basement with wiring, plumbing and roughed-in walls will suit a family with plans to grow and define its own space.

The open floor plan features nine-foot-high ceilings throughout the home. The spruce wood floor radiates warmth, and its shine is appealing. Tasteful lighting throughout the home enhances its elegance.

The home includes motion lighting, a security system and a back deck wired for outside speakers.

The foyer area opens into the spacious family room complete with a gas fireplace offset by a marble hearth. A large window offers plenty of natural lighting. Recessed lighting promotes a relaxing atmosphere in this room and the adjoining kitchen.

Counter seating and pendant lighting at the counter add space and charm. Beech wood cabinets include two lazy Susans and three glass-front doors for a China closet effect. There is a large window above the sink, neutral ceramic flooring and countertops.

The kitchen has access to the two-car garage, a convenient setup in inclement weather. Large drawers for pots and pans are handy.

The adjoining 18-by-12-foot dining room completes the open living space equipped for preparing and enjoying meals.

Adjacent to the dining room is access to the large deck. The backyard is private and fairly level.

A hallway off the kitchen includes the utility room, a bedroom with mirrored closet doors and basement access.

There is plenty of room for alternate living space or guest quarters in the basement. The walkout door is flanked by two large windows. A covered brick patio offers another spot for entertaining, and there's room for a pool. A double-door entryway for lawn equipment storage on this level is convenient.

On the opposite side of the home lies a full bath with Corian-look sink. The 17-by-15-foot master bedroom has its own bath has Corian-look his and hers sinks. An oversized Jacuzzi accented with wallboard, a semiprivate commode and full shower with two seats are in this bathroom. His-and-hers walk-in closets are in the bedroom.

A nearby bedroom has mirrored closet doors and an arched window.

A water softener and drinking system are included with the home.
