Description

A truly extraordinary opportunity awaits in the heart of Historic Cape May. Perfectly positioned on iconic Washington Street, just moments from the Washington Street Mall, pristine beaches, fine dining, boutique shopping, and all that America's oldest seaside resort has to offer, this one-of-a-kind Victorian has been lovingly owned by the same family for generations. Currently zoned **C-1 Mixed Use**, this remarkable property offers incredible flexibility. The first floor was once home to a charming shop, making it ideal for a boutique retail business, professional office, gallery, or other permitted commercial use. Equally exciting, it can easily be transformed back into the magnificent single-family residence it was originally designed to be. From the moment you arrive, you'll fall in lo ve with the quintessential Cape May front porch—an inviting place to enjoy your morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply relax while listening to the nearby church bells and watching life unfold along one of Cape May's most treasured streets. The home features **two front entrances**, allowing seamless separation between residential and commercial spaces if desired. The first floor offers tremendous versatility with spacious rooms that could easily become additional bedrooms, a family room, home office, or guest accommodations. This level also includes a mudroom, laundry area, half bath, rear entrance, and the home's original rear staircase leading to the upper living quarters. Hidden behind the existing commercial partition of the stairs is the home's magnificent original grand staircase, still intact and waiting to once again become the stunning architectural centerpiece should the next owner choose to restore the residence to its original grandeur. The second floor serves as the heart of the home with a bright, expansive open-concept design that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas—creating an ideal gathering space for family and friends. Sunlight pours through the windows, highlighting the warmth and timeless character found throughout. Also on this level is an oversized primary bedroom, a spacious full hall bath, and an adjoining bedroom perfect as a nursery, private sitting room, home office, or guest bedroom. Abundant closets and storage are found throughout. The private third floor offers an oversized guest suite complete with a generous bedroom and full bath, creating a peaceful retreat for family and overnight guests. Throughout the home you'll discover many original architectural details that have been lovingly preserved, blending historic Cape May charm with comfortable modern living. Both the first and second floors offer interior and exterior access, adding even more flexibility to the home's unique layout. The enormous basement provides exceptional storage and includes the added convenience of a shower, toilet, and sink—perfect after a day spent at the beach. Step outside to discover your own private backyard oasis. Beautifully landscaped, the yard features a tranquil koi pond, an impressive built-in barbecue center, outdoor shower, abundant enclosed storage beneath the home, and ample space for bicycles, beach equipment, and outdoor entertaining. One of the property's rarest and most valuable features is its **private, city-designated reserved on-street parking space**, assigned exclusively to this home for an annual fee of approximately $750—a remarkable convenience in the heart of Cape May. Comfort is ensured year-round with central air conditioning, supplemental split systems, a newer natural gas hot water heater, a newer boiler system, and classic radiator heat that provides the cozy warmth only a historic home can offer on crisp autumn evenings and winter nights.
