112 Pearl Avenue, West Cape May

Short distance to the beach and downtown, this historic home was extensively refurbished by a master carpenter. Notable is the extensive mahogany wainscoting made from old church pews, a custom kitchen center island, exposed beams, and beautiful hardwood floors. The front room with the old staircase railing can be a dining room or den, it leads to the great room with a designer kitchen and window-lined living area overlooking the private garden rear yard. On the first floor, there is a powder room with laundry, and an office large enough for a twin bed. The rear yard features a Brazilian horizontal hardwood privacy fence, and an entertaining shed with a sink, refrigerator, freezer, and bar. There is a fire pit, outdoor shower and 8 raised garden beds with filtration so even 2nd homeowners can enjoy a private vegetable garden. The second-floor front bedroom has a built-in Murphy bed, custom built-ins, and access to a 2nd-floor balcony which offers views of the trees and roof-lined street. The primary bedroom suite has a large bathroom with a soaking tub. There is a third bedroom, a tiled hall bath, and a large storage closet with an optional 2n washer/dryer hook-up. The home has geothermal heat and air, pex line plumbing, gas hot water, hardboard siding, a central vacuum system, lots of recessed lighting, several custom blinds, Anderson windows, blown-in insulation, and crown molding. Property is not in a flood zone that banks would generally require flood insurance.
