Property Description

Multiple offers - Seller is asking for Highest and Best by Sunday January 18 at 5pm. Location, location, location! Just three houses from the Delaware Bay, this spacious nearly 2,400-square-foot single-family home is one of the larger residences in North Cape May, set on an oversized corner lot with bay views and the ability to enjoy North Cape May's famous sunsets right from home. The property offers six bedrooms, with two bedrooms on the first floor and four on the second, along with two full baths and a flexible layout with generous room sizes throughout. Additional features include a front deck, a private deck off an upstairs bedroom, a large walkable attic, a detached two-car garage, a separate storage shed with electric, and a sizable crawl space. Being sold as-is as part of an estate sale, the home is in need of renovation and presents a strong opportunity for buyers looking to update and customize, investors, or builders. With its premium corner-lot positioning and close proximity to the bay, this property offers exceptional potential in one of North Cape May's most desirable bayside locations-just moments from the beach, breathtaking sunsets, and all that coastal living has to offer.
