Beautifully updated and meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 3½-bath single-family home in Cape May. Completely renovated and expanded in 2008, this exceptional property offers generous living spaces, quality craftsmanship, and an impressive array of features designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The first floor offers a spacious primary suite complete with an oversized walk-in closet. The impressive kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and elegant inlay cherry cabinetry. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors flow throughout the dining area, living room, and first-floor hallway. The living room is warmed by a ventless fireplace, while the heated sunroom provides additional year-round living space and features a wet bar with direct access to the screened-in porch. Upstairs, a separate living area provides added flexibility for family, guests, or extended stays. The second-floor ensuite bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while two additional guest bedrooms share a convenient hall bath. The exterior is equally impressive, featuring a large covered wraparound porch, durable Hardie siding with Tyvek weather protection underneath, Pella windows, and Trex decking on both the front and rear porches. A convenient circular driveway provides parking for approximately 56 vehicles. The home's infrastructure was comprehensively updated during the 2008/2009 renovation, including all new plumbing and electrical systems. Energy efficiency was thoughtfully incorporated throughout, with a two-zone, closed-loop geothermal HVAC system and foam insulation throughout the exterior walls, attic, and crawl space. The insulated attic is maintained at the same temperature as the living area, further enhancing the home's energy performance and comfort. With its spacious floor plan, first-floor primary suite, flexible second-floor living space, inviting porches, extensive renovations, and convenient parking, this Cape May property offers a rare combination of comfort, character, quality, and functionality.
