    What's special

    Welcome to 1145 Lafayette Street in Cape May. This exquisite home boasts three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, offering stunning views of the back bays. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by a paver driveway leading to the residence, which is set back from the street to ensure privacy and provide breathtaking sunsets. Upon entering, you will be pleased by the ample natural light that pours through the 15 foot Anderson fold-out glass doors, which lead to a generously sized screened-in porch. This inviting space can be entirely opened by retracting the screens, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. From here you will see some of the most spectacular sunsets right in your backyard! To the right, you will discover an expansive dining area that seamlessly connects to a gourmet kitchen, complete with an oversized island, double ovens, 8 burner Viking cook top and ample cabinet space, all adorned with granite countertops and top of the line appliances. The first floor features a conveniently located powder room, as well as a spacious laundry/mudroom with direct access to the driveway. Additionally, the backsplash showcases custom tiles crafted by a local artist. Access to the basement is conveniently located just off the living room. A few steps down on the landing, you will find an additional egress door. The basement features three additional rooms, one of which is equipped with built-in floor to ceiling wine chillers. These rooms are versatile enough to serve as a game room, office, gym, or storage space. On the second floor, all bedrooms are situated, including two ensuites with vaulted ceilings, stand up showers and a full hall bath/shower combo. The outdoor space features an above-ground pool with a deck, a pool shed, an outdoor shower, and a golf cart garage. The privacy offered by the property, along with the breathtaking views of the back bays and its surrounding nature, is truly unparalleled. The Washington Street Mall is conveniently located just a short bike ride down the street, featuring a variety of boutique stores and several gourmet restaurants. Additionally, Cape May's exquisite beaches are situated just over a half a mile away. Before departing from the beach, be sure to enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade. Cape May truly offers a wealth of attractions and activities throughout the year!
