Location. Location. Location. This is a fabulous 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bath, Cape May Beach Contemporary home situated on a builder's choice lot amongst mature trees and gardens. A short walk to the Delaware Bay beach and Cox Hall Creek Wildlife Refuge Area, privacy abounds! The home was completely renovated from top to bottom in 2013. A red stone path through a beautifully landscaped lot (75' x 244') brings you to this dream house. A rustic solid wood mahogany "speakeasy" door opens into this hideaway house in the woods. The home is redone in tongue and groove, Western White Cedar wood, and boasts a solid wood deck that wraps around the entire home. Entry foyer is 5' x 5' slate where the open format floor plan awaits. To the left, the Euro-style chef's kitchen with Kenmore Elite stainless appliances, glass cooktop, hideaway blower vent, warming drawer, custom granite center island and countertops accented with a solid stone backsplash makes this a delightful place to work. The stainless sink is extra-large, extra-depth. The cabinets are solid maple with ginger finish, crown molding trimmed, and include a built-in wine rack and easy pull drawers, and are finished with pewter hardware handles and knobs. The kitchen has both above-cabinet and under-cabinet lighting and 3 glass hanging pendant lights over the island. Kitchen opens to the deck for barbecuing through Pella slider patio doors. To the right, step into the living room centered around a 17-foot high hand-built, one of a kind stone fireplace, usable as either gas or wood-burning. The floors throughout are newly installed solid wide-plank, hand-scraped, Acacia wood. The Pella windows are floor to ceiling all throughout the house, designed for views of the beautiful surroundings. They are energy efficient and thermal paned with double insulation. The first floor has a master suite renovated with gas fireplaces in the bedroom and sitting room, antique mantle, custom lighting, and a 14.5 x 7.5 master closet with built-in cabinetry for lots of storage. The luxurious master bathroom is designed with glass tiles, trimmed in marble, and includes a picture window overlooking the beautiful mature setting that sets this house apart. The property has earned designation by the State of NJ as a "wildlife sanctuary" so enjoy the views from the custom 6-foot whirlpool tub or 7-foot glass, stone, and marble trimmed shower. French doors open to the master suite sitting area and the wrap-around deck to the gazebo. Soaring, 25 foot Cathedral ceilings abound up to the second level.
