The Blue House at 1500 New Jersey Avenue is a special part of Cape May’s History and waiting for its next family to call home. This charming home has been in the same family for over four decades and offers a unique mix of old-Cape May with modern conveniences. Only a 30-second walk to the beach - You can enjoy the ocean breezes on the large wraparound porch or lie on the hammock and relax under the stars. Open the windows and let the sound of the ocean rock you to sleep. Go for a quick bike ride (or walk) into town. There are ocean views from the second and third floors. Dr. Robert Walter Starr, a dental surgeon, who was the first Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May, built this historic home in 1906. It was one of the first cottages to be built on this side of the island, in “East” Cape May. The original front door is still in place, welcoming guests year after year. This special home is considered a contributing property in Cape May’s historic district as it still retains its integrity and many key characters defining historic features. As you enter the home, the first floor offers the main living spaces. The living room, formal dining room and kitchen. The second floor offers four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms both located off the hallway. The main bathroom on this floor has a private door that opens up into what would be considered the primary bedroom. On the third floor there are two more bedrooms and a bathroom with tub. There is shower and dressing area in the basement as well as an outside shower for after the beach. The basement is the perfect storage area for beach chairs and bikes. Make sure to take a walk around the yard as there’s a very nice size side yard with a driveway. Property is being sold mostly furnished less a few pieces and personal items. Weekly rental price in season is $7,700 per week. It's rented from June 17th - September 2nd.
