This 1920's historic "storybook" Tudor Revival home speaks to your heart and dazzles your eyes with its preserved charm. Exhibiting a blend of art and architecture this 4 bedroom 2 bath cedar shake is found just 3 blocks from the magnificent Cape May shoreline. Through the original front door into the first level you note the unique wood burning fireplace centered in the living room. You begin to envision sitting fireside enjoying the evening with family and friends as the ocean breeze drifts in through the windows. Interior glass french doors separate the living room from both the dining room and the sunroom. Flanking the dining room you find a first floor master bedroom with a full bath and authentic kitchen containing a walk-in pantry. Just off the kitchen is the oversized utility room/laundry room which allows you access to the fenced in backyard and 1 1/2 car detached garage with a loft. As you continue touring the 2,474 sq. ft. of living space you find everything is original. All the hardwood floors, doors, windows, molding and hardware remain untouched. At this point the "Norman Rockwell" feel of the home is undeniable. Heading up the staircase to the second level you have one full bathroom at the end of the hallway. There are two smaller bedrooms and a large bedroom known as the "long room" as it runs the length of the home. The "long room" has a cubbyhole for storage or a child's hideaway. The third level is currently the attic space and could easily be transformed into a 5th bedroom with possible 3rd full bathroom. Please note this rare home has been priced to sell and is being offered below assessed value.
