Description

The Merry Widow on Historic Jackson Street offers a rare opportunity to own a top-floor, completely remodeled condo crafted by one of Cape May’s premier builders. Overlooking the iconic Washington Street Mall and picturesque Jackson Street, this residence places you just steps from Cape May’s best shopping, dining, and beaches—an unbeatable location for those who want to be in the heart of it all. The open-concept kitchen and living space is filled with natural light and opens directly to a private rooftop deck through sliding glass doors—perfect for enjoying sunsets, ocean breezes, and lively street views below. A covered lower-level porch provides an additional outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings. This home was thoughtfully redesigned to maximize space and comfort for everyday living. The inviting living area is spacious and offers lots of light, while the kitchen offers generous counter space for cooking and entertaining alike. The beautifully appointed bathroom includes a spacious vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower, creating a spa-like experience. A washer and dryer are conveniently located within the unit. On the lower level, a charming sitting area with windows overlooking Jackson Street invites you to relax and take in the sights and sounds of historic Cape May—listen as the horse-drawn carriages clip-clop by. The unit offers two points of entry: through the sliding doors into the main living space or through the common areas via the front porch into the lower-level foyer and sitting room. Common amenities include shared lower-level porches, under-deck storage, and a laundry room. One assigned parking space is included. The condo is currently offered as a vacation rental with peak season rental rate of $4,200 per week. The monthly condo fee of $615.63 covers reserves, building insurance, water and sewer, and trash removal. A truly special property where location, thoughtful design, and classic Cape May charm come together.
