For sale: On the way to luxury in $1.9M Cape May home

Cape May is known for its magnificent Victorian architecture, which makes this craftsman-style home all the more remarkable for its stand-out, corner-lot curb appeal.

If you didn't know you were so far south on the Jersey Shore, it would be easy to assume this handsome brick home belonged further inland in some tony suburb. The estate is situated on a large, landscaped lot with mature trees and plantings alongside paved walkways and patios that set it apart from the average shore home – even at a luxury price point.

Inside, the four-bedroom property features about 6,300 square feet of living space. Renovated completely by a staff of more than 20 designers in 2005, the property was once Cape May's Designer Show House.

The kitchen includes the standard luxury appliances by Wolf and Subzero as well as a separate butler's pantry and wet bar. The first floor also includes a large, enclosed porch and family room.

A master suite boasts an enormous soaking tub and enough room for what we can only describe as the best use of a fainting couch that we've seen in a long time (what better way to relax from your soak than to have a nice lie-down?).

Downstairs on the lower level, the property includes an Irish pub. Which makes it even more convenient that the detached two-car garage includes "chauffer's quarters."

All that and it's within a ten-minute walk of the popular bar Mad Batter and the beach.

The home is listed by John Swartz at Remax New Jersey for $1,990,000 here.
