    Quintessential Cape May cedar shake cottage you must see this beauty for yourself. Built in the 1940's this home was lovingly restored in 2019-20 literally everything is brand new from the roof down, all new electric, plumbing etc. Featuring 2 bedrooms, first-floor Primary bedroom, and a guest bedroom is on the 2nd-floor which is loft style allowing you and your guests privacy. The shiplap throughout makes this an HGTV-like beauty from the open-concept living room, dining room, and bar-style seating within the kitchen which makes this great kitchen a cook's delight. A lovely tiled bathroom with an oversized shower, and a separate laundry area all these features make this home complete. Don't forget the outdoor space within your private rear yard and outdoor enclosed shower. This home offers plenty of off-street parking with a private driveway for multiple cars. You won't want to leave this sweet stand-alone single-family cottage. We know you will want to linger curled up on the sofa with a good book or a glass of wine during your contemplative Cape May romantic winter nights. Everything was thought of for your comfort including the sweet screened porch allowing you to enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the Cape May Meadows across the street or simply sip your evening cocktails or morning coffee. This home is being sold completely turn-key less minor personal items see inventory in the associated documents for the inventory list. Easy to walk or bike into town or better yet take your gulf cart right into the center of town and enjoy a mall or beach stroll. Excellent Rental history currently, NO rentals are purposely NOT in place so that the new owners can decide if they want to use this sweet home all for themselves. City Water, City Sewer, natural gas heating, and gas utilities along with central air make this a must-have Cape May home. The tax records do not have the updated square footage which is 799.44 sq ft plus the screen porch which is 87 sq. feet of living space for a total of 886.67 for this sweet cottage.
