About This Home
As of June 2025Discover the charm and elegance of this stunning Victorian home, nestled in the heart of West Cape May. Ideally situated, this home is just a short walk or bike ride from Cape May and Cape May Point’s pristine beaches, local wineries, Beach Plum Farm, the Pedestrian Mall, and NJ State Park. Nature enthusiasts will love the unparalleled birdwatching opportunities, while adventure seekers can take the ferry—bikes in tow—to explore the scenic Rehoboth beaches, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Lewes, Delaware. Step inside to a warm and inviting first floor, featuring a beautiful dining room perfect for large gatherings and a cozy living room with a gas fireplace. Pocket doors allow for added privacy when needed, and gleaming cherry hardwood floors enhance the space. A convenient powder room is located in the hallway, while the expansive eat-in kitchen and adjacent great room complete this level, offering the perfect blend of comfort and functionality. Upstairs, the second floor boasts a spacious primary suite with a private bath, walk-in closet, and a charming balcony—an ideal retreat. Two additional bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room adds ease to daily living. The recently finished third-floor attic offers additional living space, featuring stylish vinyl plank flooring and shipyard-inspired plank walls and ceilings. Equipped with HVAC, this versatile space can serve as an extra bedroom, playroom, or private retreat. Step outside through a sliding French door off the kitchen onto a lovely patio and fenced backyard, where you can take in the scenic surroundings and breathtaking sunsets. A stamped concrete driveway leads to a detached heated garage, complete with a half bath. Above the garage, a charming guest suite awaits, featuring a full bath and a small kitchen. Finally, the inviting covered front porch welcomes you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean. This Victorian gem offers the perfect combination of classic elegance, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location. Open House Saturday and Sunday, March 1st & 2nd 11am to 1pm.
