    What's special

    Walk or bike to beaches, shopping, dining, entertainment and all that Cape May has to offer from 505 Jefferson Street. Relax in a tranquil neighborhood where you can often hear the sound of the surf a few blocks away. Sit on the screened porch and daydream, read, drink coffee and people-watch. Later, enjoy a cocktail as horses and carriages clip-clop past. This 1926 Craftsman-style property features a spacious living room with refinished hardwood floors, two seating areas and a working fireplace topped with a white wooden mantle. The living room flows into the dining room through a 5-foot-wide archway, allowing easy conversations and open sight-lines between the rooms. The dining room includes built-ins for china and glassware. Decorative windows in the living room and dining room add to the beauty of this light-filled property. The home has four bedrooms, including a master on the first floor, and two full bathrooms. Storage space is ample throughout the home, including walk-in closets in three of the four bedrooms, and more. The fully functional kitchen connects directly to the dining room and includes dishwasher, garbage disposal and a deep porcelain sink. With a little imagination, it can be updated to your dream kitchen. The laundry room includes a deep sink, washer and new dryer, leading out to the large back yard which provides a secluded spot for entertaining or sunbathing. The automated sprinkler system keeps the grass green - you don't have to lift a finger. An attached shed accommodates bikes and a grill. An outside shower keeps the sand out of the house after a beach day. Owned by the same family for 70 years, this home has been well-loved and maintained. The many updates include roof, windows, gas heating and drainage systems. New rain gutters have been ordered and the warranty is transferable to the new owners. The driveway can accommodate three or four vehicles, depending on size. Move-in ready, with most furniture and all window coverings included. Enjoy a day at the spa, only doors away then off to dinner at the Washington Inn a few blocks away. The convenient location and exceptional charm of this well-maintained home make it the perfect place for family and friends to enjoy Cape May.
