Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Cape May history just one block from the beach. Known as "Cotswold Cottage," this charming Craftsman-style home was built in the 1930s as part of the historic expansion of "The New Cape May" and remains a treasured contributing property within the Cape May Historic District. Set on an oversized 85 x 125 lot, the property offers a unique combination of historic character, generous outdoor space, and future possibilities rarely found this close to the beach. Surrounded by mature landscaping and tucked behind a long private driveway, the cottage welcomes you with its classic shake shingle exterior, historic front door, and timeless seaside charm. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and personality. The living room centers around a gas fireplace, while French doors open to a peaceful sunroom that serves as the perfect reading nook, home office, or quiet retreat after a day at the beach. The dining room flows into a kitchen where a classic checkered floor pays homage to the home's mid-century roots. A first-floor bedroom with private bath provides convenient one-floor living. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with both a spacious screened porch for dining and entertaining and an adjoining open porch ideal for enjoying the summer sunshine and ocean breezes. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and access to a finished attic space offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, or storage. The detached historic garage, full basement, and ample off-street parking add practicality to this enchanting beach retreat. The expansive lot provides room to enjoy today while offering exciting possibilities for the future. Whether you're searching for a beloved family beach cottage, a historic Cape May getaway, or a property with exceptional lot size and long-term potential, Cotswold Cottage is a truly special offering just steps from the beach.
