About this home

Welcome to 1231 Illinois Avenue, a charming two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath twin nestled in Cape May’s desirable Village Green neighborhood. Just blocks from the beach, within walking distance of Cape May Harbor, and an easy bike ride from downtown’s shops, restaurants, and attractions, this inviting home offers an appealing blend of coastal charm, comfort, and convenience. Start your mornings on the enclosed front porch with a cup of coffee and a gentle coastal breeze, or settle in with a favorite book after a day at the beach. Inside, the generously sized living room provides a welcoming space for relaxing and entertaining, while the second bedroom features a beautiful bay window that fills the space with natural light. The recently renovated full bathroom includes a step-in shower, convenient laundry area, and linen closet. The primary bedroom offers its own en-suite powder room and mirrored closet doors. At the heart of the home, a spacious, updated kitchen adjoins a large all-season room, providing flexible space for dining, entertaining, or simply gathering with family and friends. Outside, a partially fenced garden area adds a touch of greenery, while the patio—with its remote-controlled Sunbrella awning—offers a comfortable spot for outdoor dining or unwinding after a day exploring Cape May. An outdoor shower makes returning from the beach a breeze. A detached 1.5-car garage, generous off-street parking, and abundant closet space throughout complete the home's practical appeal. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or a coastal getaway, 1231 Illinois Avenue offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the relaxed Cape May lifestyle in a welcoming neighborhood close to everything that makes this seaside town special.
