Charming Contemporary Retreat With Sustainable Features

Cape May Point jewel box! This house, completely rebuilt in 2006, offers both charm and practicality. The house was reimagined with contemporary living in mind and has been outfitted to make it weather resistant and efficient to run. Hardie board siding and Azek trim, forty year architectural shingles, shear wall construction and steel tied pilings set in concrete all safeguard the house from the elements. Break-away walls around the foundation protect the main structure from water and wind pressure. Central heating and cooling are delivered by a geothermal below ground, closed-loop system. This system is efficient, economical, and sustainable. There is also a pretty and practical shed in the backyard with electrical service and attached outside shower, as well as a stone patio and artful brick walkways. Inside, a thoughtful floor plan features living room, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the first level and well-appointed eat-in kitchen with generous deck for al fresco meals and sunbathing on the second floor. Craftsmanship is evident throughout, and soaring peaked ceilings allow ample light. This beach block property is situated on picturesque Knox Avenue amid what is now known as the Camp Cottages. These cottages were originally built in the nineteen thirties as part of the Sea Grove Camp Meeting Association and continue today as one of the most charming settings in a charm-filled borough.
