CAPE MAY The most photographed home in Cape May and a Historic Gem! Victorian Elegance meets a Stunning Gothic Villa. The Abbey In 1869 a wealthy Pennsylvania coal baron decided to build an elaborate home on the shores of Cape May. He contracted a famous architect to design his summer retreat and the result was a beautiful gothic villa with an imposing 60 foot tower with unbelievable 360 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and Cape May, stenciled and ruby glass arched windows. 4 large comfortable public rooms, 7 large bedrooms, 7 full baths and two half baths and shaded verandas round out this stunning historic building. Our location in the heart of Cape Mays Historic District puts you within strolling distance to everything. On site parking for 10 cars easily and a large side yard for gardening, a pool or a game of croquet. The Abbey is one of the a few buildings selected as possessing such architectural significance that measured drawings are recorded in the Library of Congress. There is a large kitchen and owner's quarters consisting of 2 bedrooms and full bath. Furnishing to rival any episode of the Antiques Road Show I have ever seen are subject to a negotiated sale. Exclusion of living room chandelier and owners personal items. Currently being run as a SEVEN room Bed and Breakfast.
