1001 Cape May Avenue, Cape May

Welcome to 1001 Cape May Avenue! This beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, classic two-story Colonial sits on an impeccably landscaped corner lot in one of Cape May’s most peaceful residential pockets—just five blocks from the beach and close to Kiwanis Park, the Cape May Tennis Club, and the Physick Estate. Over the past several years, great care has been invested into refining the home, resulting in warm and welcoming spaces that reflect true pride of ownership inside and out. A brick-paver walkway leads to the covered front porch and central foyer with slate flooring. To the left is the formal dining room; to the right, a custom-crafted flex room with built-ins and closets, currently used as a den but easily suited for a first-floor bedroom. Toward the rear of the home is a gracious living area featuring hardwood floors, crown molding, a beautifully remodeled full bath, and a custom gas fireplace with tiled hearth and handcrafted surround. An adjacent 19' x 11' four-season room with cathedral ceilings, tile flooring, and year-round temperature control provides a bright and comfortable gathering space in every season. The custom kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances—including a gas cooktop, double ovens, beverage cooler, and built-in GE Monogram refrigerator—along with a peninsula for casual seating. A breakfast area with additional custom cabinetry opens to a sun-filled family room highlighted by heated tile floors, a beadboard cathedral ceiling, and windows on three sides. Upstairs are three generously sized guest bedrooms, a hall bath with custom tilework and a seamless-glass shower enclosure, and a convenient laundry closet. The large primary suite includes an updated ensuite bath with a tiled shower and glass enclosure. Outdoor living is exceptional. The grounds were professionally designed and meticulously maintained, with crape myrtles, hydrangeas, rose bushes, mature shrubs, manicured beds, and a fully irrigated lawn. Plantings were carefully arranged to create privacy throughout the yard, especially around the brick-paver patio, grilling area with trellis, walking paths, and charming shed with window boxes. The brick-paver driveway and walkways complement the home’s exterior, which features low-maintenance vinyl cedar-impression siding and vinyl railings. Additional features include a rare three-car garage (two full-depth bays plus a third ideal for bikes or storage), dual-zone natural gas heat and central air, and two water meters—one dedicated to irrigation. Whether you're in search of a spacious year-round residence, a summer home with room to host family and guests, or a property with strong potential as a vacation rental, this home offers an exceptional opportunity along prestigious Cape May Avenue. Thoughtful updates, quality improvements, and beautifully finished indoor and outdoor spaces create a truly move-in-ready setting, allowing new owners to enjoy the best of Cape May with minimal effort or expense. Its proximity to the beach, Kiwanis Park, the Tennis Club, and downtown attractions further enhances its appeal, making it a rare offering in one of the community’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
