About this home
Mornings start on the gingerbread porch with coffee, listening to horse-drawn carriages pass under the trees. Afternoons are a short stroll to the beach, or just around the corner to the Washington Street Mall for lunch and shopping. Evenings end with dinner on a private mahogany deck. This is life in the gorgeous Queen Ann era 1879 Joseph Haynes House, perched on one of the oldest and loveliest streets in Cape May’s Historic District. Today the home is a spacious 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths combined, or divisible into two separate homes. Live in one and rent the other as an investment property! The first floor features a large, sunlit living room, two spacious bedrooms, a full and a half bath, an open kitchen with separate dining room and an additional family room. There is a large deck off the kitchen with space for dining, and is just a few steps to the spacious backyard. Elegant railed steps take you to the second and third floor living spaces. Here you’ll find a new kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite counters, a dining room and spacious family room. There is a large covered private deck off the dining room.. The three-room primary suite has a cozy living area, a large bedroom, and a brand-new tiled bath with a large walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms and an oversized tiled bath are on the third floor. The bones are just as good as the charm: new wiring, plumbing, and wood windows, plus a cedar roof, two-zone heat and air, two electric meters, blown-in insulation, an outdoor shower, and a full basement with laundry and a workshop. It comes with assigned street parking by city permit and a solid rental history. It is sold furnished, so bring your bags and settle in. History: Hughes Street is one of the oldest streets in Cape May. Local lore has it as a cow path on tavern keeper Memucan Hughes’ plantation during the Revolutionary War era. When Memucan’s son Israel died in 1832 his widow divided the farmland into lots. The footprint of this house is shown on the 1878 Woolman & Rose map and the 1886 Scott map with the owner listed as Joseph Haynes. The home is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style at the turn of the 20th century and it has retained a high level of its architectural integrity.
