716 W Lake Drive Cape May Point, NJ 08212

A one of a kind, artfully designed, turnkey Cape May Point contemporary home situated lakeside in one of the South Jersey coast's most tranquil and desirable settings. This thoughtfully crafted home was constructed in 2016 and designed by Philadelphia architecture firm Always by Design, masterfully combining the sophisticated simplicity of contemporary configuration with the comfort and coolness of a relaxing beach house. The landscaping has been created to complement the area's fondly appreciated ecosystem and contributes as a wildlife garden, offering 63 native plant species supporting local birds and insects. Enjoy the soothing sounds of a roof rainwater feature that makes "music" just outside the screened-in porch and feeds the front rainwater garden. Enter the home to be met with tasteful gray craftsman moldings and wainscoting along with a built-in bench. Hardwood floors throughout the first floor lead to an open concept living area. The living room features a clever design for optimizing natural light at any time of day, gas fireplace, architecturally designed ceilings for acoustic absorption, built in surround sonos sound system, and a sliding wall art feature that conceals the flat screen TV. The kitchen is open to the living room, boasting a peninsula with seating, cabinets with glass doors, quartz counter tops, and dining area. This level also offers the quintessential first floor bedroom, situated next to an accessible bathroom with walk-in tile shower. Enjoy the sounds of nature and fresh air in the screened in porch room located off of the entry foyer. Also on the first floor is a laundry room and a utility room with space for extra storage which is accessible from both inside and outside the home. Ascend the staircase to the second floor, which carries hardwood flooring throughout. The East end of this level features privacy for one bedroom and a hall bathroom, and the West end has 2 additional bedrooms and a third full bath. Additional features include on-demand hot water, Hardie siding with Azek trim, outdoor shower, two separate heating and air systems, and hurricane rated impact windows, to name a few. This home has been a strong rental property, grossing over $66,000 in rents in 2018, and counting. Do not miss this truly special opportunity to attain a unique, turn-key home (less personal items) in a wonderful seaside community.
