Magnificent 7BR 5BA HISTORIC DISTRICT SHOWPIECE - Fully Renovated to Perfection in the heart of Cape May's Historic District stands a rare 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence (3 en suites), meticulously renovated to the studs with an unparalleled level of craftsmanship. The gourmet kitchen showcases a grand island, hidden butler's pantry, true professional grade appliances, dual sinks, dual dishwashers, and an ice maker - designed for effortless entertaining. Smartly outfitted with whole-house wiring for today's devices, Wi-Fi extenders, and a premium speaker system throughout the first floor and primary suite, the home blends historic charm with modern innovation. Luxurious bath feature natural stone floors and spa-inspired bidet toilets, while the primary suite offers a private retreat with double shower, frameless glass, soaking tub, and radiant floors (also in the Junior Primary bath!). Additional highlights include two on-demand hot water systems, three-zone HVAC, all new wiring and plumbing (to the street), and thoughtfully designed third floor guest retreats. A wraparound porch invites timeless Cape May moments as horse drawn carriages pass by, while the street-to-street paver driveway accommodates 4-5 vehicles - a rarity in this location. Offered fully furnished, the residence is ideal for refined living or as a premier investment property, generating peak rental income up to $15,000 per week.
