Description

Welcome to 526 Elmira—a handcrafted seaside retreat where comfort and creativity come together. Just a short stroll to the beach or town, this charming 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is thoughtfully designed with an artisan’s touch, complete with a convenient elevator for easy living. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a spacious two-car parking pad and an additional two-car garage, offering both function and flexibility. Step inside the lower level, where you’ll find a cozy, well-appointed in-law suite with its own private entrance. This space features a bedroom, a beautifully tiled full bath with built-in seating, a relaxed bar area with sink and microwave, and a laundry room with extra storage—perfect for guests or extended stays. You can also glide upstairs effortlessly via the elevator. Upstairs, natural light pours into the home, illuminating an inviting living space. An east-facing deck sets the stage for peaceful mornings, where sunrise skies become part of your daily ritual. The living room, anchored by a warm electric fireplace, flows into an artfully styled kitchen with a central island—ideal for gathering and creating meals. A bright dining area and welcoming foyer with a coat closet completes this level. Down the hall, a generously sized bedroom and a full tiled bath offer comfort and ease. Tucked away at the rear of the home, the oversized primary suite (with heated floor) is a true sanctuary. With abundant closet space, a private bath, a cozy sitting nook, office area, and a separate sleeping space, it feels like its own private studio. Out back, the home continues to delight with a lush grassy yard framed by thoughtful plantings and trees. A freestanding screened-in dining pavilion invites you to enjoy meals al fresco, while the enclosed outdoor shower and grill area add to the relaxed coastal lifestyle. Currently, the lower level is rented for short-term stays (five-day minimum), offering added flexibility or income potential. Leave your car parked and wander easily to all that Cape May has to offer—beautiful beaches, the Washington Street Mall, local dining, boutique shopping, and rich historic charm. After a day of exploring, return home to unwind, fire up the grill, and savor the simple pleasures of this artfully crafted coastal haven.
