Situated on one of the finest and most coveted tree-lined streets of Cape May, 1101 New York Avenue showcases a piece of history as one of the original Sears Kit" cedar shake homes. Just two blocks to the beach with an ocean view from the second floor, this two-and-half story home is a gem with a brick based square plan and a hipped-roof on a spacious 80 x 125 corner lot. The recessed entrance is considered an historic feature that welcomes you on the four-column hipped-roof porch where you can sip your coffee with the warmth of the sunrise. The 5 BD 2.5 BA home is filled with classic charm from nine-foot ceilings downstairs to well-preserved original wood floors throughout along with pocket doors and elegant crown molding accents. The first floor includes a cozy sitting area, a formal dining room, a spacious living room that was an addition with a gas fireplace with access to the upper deck, a full bathroom, as well as a bedroom with a half bathroom, and the kitchen. A highlight of the home is a beautiful addition built off the back in 1989 that invites abundant daylong natural light and overlooks a wooded private backyard with gardens and a delightful multi-level deck for gatherings. The second floor has 4 additional bedrooms and another full bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Continue to the third floor where there is an attic. In the rear of the property there is a detached gambrel-roofed, wood shingled two story auxiliary building that was renovated in 2016.

The full basement includes a sitting area, laundry, another refrigerator and an additional bathroom with a 6-foot clawfoot tub plus an outside shower both nice options for rinsing off after a refreshing day at the beach.
