    What's special

    Nestled on a desirable stretch of tree lined Lafayette Street in Cape May (only 4 short blocks to downtown and the Washington Street Mall), this adorable and lovingly cared for seaside "cottage" is sure to please and exceed expectations when you walk inside. The nearly 1,100 square foot floor plan is perfectly complemented by a sprawling finished and heated basement which offers an additional ~1,000 sq. ft. of living space. Enjoy ample parking on the recently installed stone driveway (2015) and a mammoth detached garage with room for 3 car parking. The garage space can be utilized for storage, parking, or an immense workshop and has a new roof, new cedar clapboard siding on the front face, and was freshly painted (all in 2015). The home has a nicely sized rear yard and is one of only four homes on Lafayette Street with rear access to Golf Lane - which currently provides additional pedestrian and bike egress and has potential for vehicular egress as well. There is a concrete patio for outdoor enjoyment with plentiful afternoon shade. Enter the back entrance of the home off of the driveway and you'll find a well-sized laundry/mud room with water closet. The home boasts a recently updated kitchen (summer 2017) with resurfaced wood cabinets, glass tile back splash, stainless steel range, refrigerator, and dishwasher, solid surface counter tops with seamless kitchen sink and new Moen faucet, and is complete with built-in wine fridge and an additional wall oven! The kitchen also has a dining area featuring custom built-in bench with underseat storage. The kitchen and open floor plan leads to a large living room with original hardwood floors that are carried throughout the rest of the living and bedroom areas. The finished basement level was updated in 2016 with wall to wall carpeting, all new lighting fixtures and ceiling fans, and was freshly painted. Currently this sprawling space is used as rec/family room complete with extra dining area and bar. Also on the basement level you'll find a "bonus room" which is currently being used as an additional sleeping area with ample closet storage. Extras include a huge storage attic and a side porch. Don't let this special Cape May home and unique property pass you by! Delayed showings beginning Tuesday, February 27. HOME IS NOT IN A FLOOD HAZARD AREA.
