A rare rear porch overlooks the private backyard, ideal for morning coffee or evening entertaining. Inside, the home showcases stunning period architecture highlighted by a commanding turret, intricate millwork, original hardwood floors, and oversized windows that flood every room with light. The layout is perfect for both grand family gatherings and comfortable everyday living. This is a true legacy property — lovingly maintained yet untouched by the market for decades. Whether you’re seeking a spectacular second home to create lifelong memories or a turn-key investment property with amazing rental income potential in America’s oldest seaside resort, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. Cape May’s most desirable location + unmatched curb appeal + rare availability = an opportunity that will not last.
