SECLUSION WITH ACCESSIBILITY

This ranch home sits on the quiet gravel lane called Melody Lane just inside the city limits of Cape Girardeau on a one-acre lot.

Enjoy the seclusion of a dead end street while still enjoying your neighbors on this one-acre setting near Lexington and Sprigg. Well manicured shrubbery and a stately tree in the front yard make a good first impression. Take a moment to wander around the house and enjoy the rolling back yard which slips into a small woods.

Let the sun shine in while enjoying the view from the sunroom at the rear of the house. Keep an eye on the kids as they play in the backyard. The view is great from two sets of triple windows. The wood vaulted ceiling opens the room while still lending a warm touch.

Throw open the French doors leading to the deck and let the fresh air in. Located just off the kitchen, this area will quickly become a family gathering place.

Even the laundry won't seem like such a chore when the family is only a few steps away. Both the washer and dryer fit comfortably behind louvered doors at the end of the kitchen. The area is large enough to sort laundry and even do a little ironing.

You won't be banging your knees on the cabinets under the extended counter top while grabbing a quick meal in this functional kitchen. Cabinets above the eating area open on both sides for storage convenience. Brass fixtures gleam under the light of the window which overlooks the back deck. A large pantry cabinet will house plenty of pots, pans and baking dishes.

The industrious cook won't have a problem with counter space while creating gourmet masterpieces. Keep the microwave off the main counter by utilizing a small corner niche.

The area could also serve as a small desk space. The free-standing counter has a drawer and shelf. Books, magazines or the mail will fit nicely in the horizontal slots above the shelf. Phone access is conveniently near.

Sitting down with the family is always a pleasure. You'll want to take time to discuss the day's events while enjoying each other's company at the dining room table.

Table settings will sparkle from the light as it shines through the beveled glass panes of the ceiling fan/light over the table. The dining area, separated from the kitchen by counter and cabinets, has sliding doors which also open to the back deck.

The rich wood flooring and crown molding greet visitors at the front door. Step down into the formal living room with its half wall dividers which separate it from the entry and kitchen. Display family photos or other knick-knacks on the built in shelves.

Enjoy the spirit of the Christmas season by placing the tree in front of the large picture window. Wrap garland through the spindles which attach the dividers to the ceiling to complete your holiday decorating.

A short walk down the hall takes you to all three bedrooms. Trophies will find a showplace on the shelf near the ceiling of the first bedroom. The chair-railed second bedroom in the front corner of the house would make a fantastic office or study area.

The full bath at the end of the hall is also accessible through the large master bedroom. Textured wall covering and a large walk-in closet are focal points of this bedroom.

Wood railings surround the open walkway leading to the lower level. Exit from the hall into a warm and cozy family area. Brass doors accent the fireplace. The brick hearth extends to the corner. An unusual circular extension creates a unique display area.

Serve guests from the wood counter on the brick bar. They'll be able to catch the reflection of the fireplace in the large mirror behind the bar. Barnside paneling completes the country look of the area.

Slip through the door to a separate lower level garage storage area under the sunroom. Chain link fencing around a small area is just right for an exercise spot for Fido.

There's additional storage in another unfinished room of the basement.

An attached two car garage and over 1800 square feet of living space in a well maintained home can be yours for only $139,900. Phone Re/Max Achievers today to set up your personal tour of this 907 Melody Lane home.
