This is an already beautiful and iconic three-story Cape May Colonial gem that offers even loads more potential. Gorgeous curb appeal on an enormous 60 x 198’ lot in the center of town, within walking distance of everything. A large and lushly landscaped pool set back in the rear yard is perfect for summer entertaining at the end of a beach day, or for whole house rental demand. Walk through the front door to the formal living and dining rooms with original wood floors and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Rich slate floors throughout the kitchen and breakfast nook are cool during the summer months, and a double-sided brick fireplace will cozy things up on winter evenings. The large kitchen features modern amenities with elegant granite counters and rich cabinetry beautifully paired with the home’s unique historic features. The spacious family room off the kitchen\ shares the kitchen’s double-sided fireplace and features beamed ceilings, a full bath with walk in shower, stackable washer and dryer for pool towels, and access to the fenced-in back yard. The second floor features two bedrooms and two baths, including an enormous primary suite with two large walk-in closets, built-in window seats, and a private dressing room with full sized laundry. The third floor attic has two smaller charming bedrooms, perfect for guests or children and grandchildren. The backyard is paradise. Large, private and beautifully landscaped with a lovely pool and charming cedar storage buildings. The corner lot abuts a cul-de-sac of lovely well-manicured single-family homes with ample side yard parking.
