About this property
Some homes are simply houses. Others carry history in their bones. Built in 1865 and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, 909 Corgie Street is one of Cape May's rare historic cottages; a home with genuine architectural provenance and a top-to-bottom renovation that leaves nothing to update. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street moments from the beach and downtown, it offers the kind of Cape May lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. The welcome begins at the front porch, where mahogany decking and cedar shake siding establish a tone of refined, unhurried elegance and the feeling of a street that hasn't changed much in a century. Step inside and the home opens up: a bright, open-concept layout connects living, dining, and kitchen naturally, with new hickory hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and fresh drywall throughout giving the interior a clean, cohesive feel without losing its historic character. The kitchen rises to meet the moment: marble countertops, GE Cafe appliances, generous cabinetry, a farmhouse sink with Kohler fixtures, a spacious island, and cottage-inspired lighting. Just off the kitchen, a full bathroom offers a glass-enclosed tiled shower and a full-size stackable Whirlpool washer and dryer. The Dutch door opens directly to the backyard, making it easy to come in from the sand, rinse off, and step straight into the house without tracking through the main living areas. It's the kind of intuitive layout that makes daily life in a beach cottage feel exactly right. Out back, a private garden retreat has been freshly landscaped with new sod, new fencing, and a decked seating area that works equally well for a quiet morning coffee or an evening with guests. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms open off a central hall: a twin room at the rear, a full bedroom in the middle, and a generous front bedroom bathed in natural light with ample storage that easily accommodates a queen or king. New Jeld-Wen wood windows throughout bring in exceptional light while staying true to the home's historic profile. A fully updated hall bath completes the floor with a glass-enclosed tub/shower and a 60-inch double vanity. The renovation behind all of this is comprehensive and uncompromising. Systems have been modernized in full: updated electrical and plumbing, Fujitsu mini-split heating and cooling in every room, and a new water heater (2025). The downstairs floor system has been structurally reinforced with new piers, a new main beam, and new sill plates. On the exterior: a standing seam metal roof over the front porch, an elastomeric coating on the upper roof, refreshed paint and trim, and new exterior lighting. The original doors have been preserved and restored, joined by a new pocket door and barn-style closet doors; details that signal a renovation done with care. Off-street parking for one vehicle and a golf cart rounds out a package that's genuinely rare in this neighborhood. As a contributing structure within Cape May's treasured National Historic Landmark District, 909 Corgie Street represents something beyond a beautiful home; it is an irreplaceable piece of the city's architectural heritage. Whether you're looking for a private beach retreat, a full-time residence, or a high-yield rental, this is Cape May living at its finest, ready for your immediate enjoyment. *Open House: Saturday, June 6, 2026, 11am - 1pm*
