About the Listing KELWLMDA - 3355703
There’s something about a home near the shore that changes the pace of life. At 668 Crawford Road, mornings begin a little slower. Maybe it’s the way the southern exposure allows sunlight to stretch across the entire 1.5-acre property, filling the living room, dining room, and kitchen throughout the day. Or how that same light carries out back, keeping the deck and yard warm and inviting from morning through evening. Paired with the breeze drifting in from the nearby Delaware Bay, it’s the kind of setting where coffee tastes better and plans for the day feel wide open. That might mean heading just a few miles down the road to the beaches and charm of Cape May, or staying right where you are, surrounded by space, privacy, and possibility. This home has worn many hats over its nearly 300-year history. A gathering place for generations. A weekend escape. More recently, a successful short-term rental where guests return season after season, drawn in by its character and the ease of coastal living. Fully furnished and thoughtfully maintained, it’s ready to continue exactly as it is, or evolve into whatever its next owner envisions. Inside, life unfolds naturally. The kitchen, equipped with dual ovens and cooktops, has seen everything from holiday dinners to casual summer breakfasts before a beach day. Multiple living spaces invite connection and quiet, while a game room adds a sense of fun that carries late into the evening. Cedar closets, updated systems, and modern comforts blend seamlessly with the home’s relaxed farmhouse character. A first-floor primary suite, paired with four additional bedrooms upstairs, offers flexibility for multi-generational living or hosting with ease. Outside is where the property truly tells its story. The land itself is rare. In 1699, it was a peach orchard owned by John Crawford. Around 40 years later, the original home (where the fireplaces stand today) was built by John Newton. Today, it is 1.51 acres with room to grow, gather, or simply breathe. Evenings might mean rinsing off in one of two outdoor showers after a day in the sand, then settling under the gazebo as the sky fades into sunset. The open lawn has hosted celebrations, quiet afternoons, and everything in between, with space for future additions, whether that’s a pool, gardens, or something entirely new. There’s also a quiet opportunity woven into the property. The detached 2-car garage with loft stands ready for its next chapter. With water and electric already connected, perhaps the second story loft could be a guest suite, private office, or additional rental space. With leased solar helping keep utility costs low, the home offers not just a lifestyle, but a long-term vision. And yet, for all its potential, what stands out most is how it feels when you arrive. Private, peaceful, and tucked away, yet just minutes from the energy of Wildwood’s boardwalk, the vineyards of Cape May Winery, the charm of Historic Cold Spring Village, and the everyday conveniences that make life easy. 668 Crawford Road isn’t just a property you can buy, it’s one you can truly step into and make your own. A place where memories have already been made, income has already been proven, and the next chapter is waiting to be written. Make it yours.
