Property Description
Welcome to 1261 Illinois Avenue, a charming, move-in ready coastal retreat nestled in the heart of Cape May. This delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of beachside charm and modern comfort, making it ideal as a primary residence, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity. Situated on a spacious 40x125 lot, the home features a bright and inviting interior with an open living area, updated flooring, and abundant natural light throughout. The thoughtfully designed layout flows seamlessly from the living space into the kitchen, creating a comfortable environment for relaxing or entertaining. Walk up to the front of the home and find a covered front porch, perfect for enjoying a cupof coffee before your summer mornings begin down the shore. Walk inside and find a very spacious family room, with a pull out couch that sleeps 2. There are 2 generously sized bedrooms, and they both provide comfortable accommodations, while the full bathroom is conveniently located for easy access, along with a full sized washer and dryer. The kitchen is completely updated, and features an eat-in area, and sliding glass doors that lead to the fully fenced in back yard and patio. The private yard offers the perfect space for outdoor dining, summer barbecues, or unwinding after a day at the beach. There is also an outdoor shower which is perfect for rinsing off after a day of fun at the beach. There is a large, detached oversized 1.5 car garage, and a driveway that fits at least 3 cars... adding to the home's appeal. This property also presents an excellent opportunity for investors or second-home buyers, generating over $40,000 in annual rental income with strong seasonal demand in one of the Jersey Shore's most desirable destinations. Located just minutes from Cape May's beautiful beaches, renowned restaurants, shopping, and historic downtown, this property offers the quintessential shore lifestyle with strong income potential.
