DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Out To Sea, 901 Benton Avenue, an exceptional coastal estate where sophisticated design, craftsmanship, and the timeless elegance of Cape May come together. Ideally positioned on a prominent corner in the coveted Historic District just three blocks from the ocean, this magnificent three-story residence underwent a total renovation in 2019 by WKR Luxury Custom Home Builders. The result is a beautifully curated home where no expense was spared from the exquisite brickwork and bluestone-capped walls to the custom interiors, lush landscaping, and spectacular resort-style pool. Offering approximately 4,065 square feet of refined living space, 7 bedrooms, and 6.5 baths, the residence sits on a generous 118' x 97' corner property. Designed for gracious entertaining and multigenerational living, it provides an impressive scale while maintaining the warmth and intimacy of a truly special Cape May home. The main level unfolds through beautifully appointed spaces designed to transition effortlessly from relaxed coastal living to elegant entertaining. At its heart is a sophisticated gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, two dishwashers, a 6-burner range, and an oversized island with seating for six. The kitchen flows into formal dining and living areas, accommodating seated dining for 18. A gas fireplace adds warmth to the living room, opening to an enclosed sun porch, while a second gas fireplace anchors the spacious rear family room providing direct access to the pool. A beautifully appointed wet bar with wine and beverage refrigeration creates an ideal setting for entertaining. Completing the first floor are a powder room, laundry room, and a private primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The upper levels continue the home s generous accommodations with two additional primary suites, each featuring a private bath and walk-in closet, plus four additional bedrooms and two full baths. We comfortably sleep 18. Ceiling fans, monogrammed linens, a fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, umbrellas, and many extras are included. A glimpse of the water from the third floor serves as a reminder that the Atlantic is just blocks away. Throughout the residence, hardwood flooring, custom millwork, and refined architectural details create a sophisticated aesthetic that feels luxurious without sacrificing the character of coastal living. Beyond the interiors lies an extraordinary outdoor retreat designed to rival a private resort. The magnificent 16' x 32' heated pool features a sun shelf, jetted seating, and elegant water features. Expansive poolside areas offer abundant room for loungers, outdoor dining, and entertaining. A dedicated pool bathhouse, enclosed outdoor shower, and natural gas grilling area complete the setting, allowing days to transition effortlessly from the beach to evenings relaxing outdoors. The property provides parking for six vehicles, including an attached two-car garage with an additional full-size refrigerator, ice maker, and separate freezer an invaluable convenience. Set upon a distinctive raised berm at Benton Avenue and Jefferson Street, the residence is framed by handsome brick retaining walls and mature landscaping. The setting gives Out To Sea an unmistakable presence while preserving the architectural character for which Cape May is celebrated. Here, mornings begin with a walk to the ocean, afternoons unfold beside the pool, and evenings are spent enjoying cocktails outdoors before strolling into town. Horse-drawn carriages passing through the neighborhood provide a unique backdrop. Rarely does a residence combine this degree of scale, craftsmanship, privacy, location, and resort-style living within Cape May s Historic District. Out To Sea is more than a beach house it is a sophisticated coastal estate and a distinctive legacy property created for generations to gather, celebrate, and experience the best of Cape May.
