This inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy everything Cape May has to offer, whether you're searching for a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment property.

Conveniently located close to Cape May's beautiful beaches, renowned restaurants, shopping, and historic downtown, this property combines the charm of a classic Shore home with several important recent improvements.
