225-227 windsor avenue

Slip off your sandals and stroll home from the surf, your Cape May hideaway awaits on storybook Windsor Avenue, a tree-lined lane moments from the beach, Washington Street Mall, and every eatery, bar, and boutique in town. Behind handcrafted double doors, this six-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat marries the grace of Victorian Cape May with an easy, contemporary flow- proof that timeless charm and modern comfort can coexist beautifully. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while a private, rear 1-bed/1-bath apartment (its own entrance, kitchenette, patio, and outdoor shower) brings effortless flexibility. Host extended family, claim it as an owner’s suite, or tap its proven income history- your choice, your lifestyle. A deep front porch begs for iced tea and people-watching, while a breezy screened porch lounge waits for morning coffee or curling up with a great book. Two paver patios nestle into lush, low-maintenance gardens, and the grounds deliver dual outdoor showers, a bike rack, a storage shed, and coveted off-street parking for four (stacked), everything you need for seamless shore living. Rebuilt from the ground up in 1980, the home features coastal-tough cement-board siding, natural-gas heat, and central air. Yet inside you’ll find soaring ceilings, classic millwork, and thoughtful details that echo Cape May’s historic pedigree—proof that a newer build can still honor the neighborhood’s elegant past. Whether you envision a generational beach compound or a turn-key investment with serious earning power, this Windsor Avenue classic delivers location, versatility, and that signature Cape May Victorian charm.
