When arriving at your New Jersey seaside getaway, be prepared to see the most colorful houses in Cape May. Victorian architecture surrounds the small town, making each home stand out with unique beauty. Taking a stroll along these opulent properties is almost like taking a step back in time, especially with how residents work to preserve their historic attributes. The unique architecture is a sight you’ll never forget, especially the quaint gingerbread homes of Cape May. If you’d like to see some of these homes yourself, here are some of our favorites!
The Pink House
Address: 33 Perry Street
Right off Perry Street stands a house that lives up to being pretty in pink. The Pink House dates to the 1890s and its blushing color stands out with the white trim of its “gingerbread” design. It’s a sight to see during Christmas time, especially. The owners adorn the top balcony with Christmas trees in a matching pink!
J. Stratton Ware House
Address: 655 Hughes Street
Built with gothic revival architecture, the J. Stratton Ware House is a beautiful blue vision. The home was constructed in 1868, and its grand presence along Hughes Street makes it a must-see. The matching turquoise trim and fencing are some serious eye candy.
Douglas Gregory House
Address: 102 Ocean Street
This 1881 home is the epitome of Victorian architecture. Its olive-green color is complemented by a copper-colored room and trimming. Its beauty resembles an idyllic home that would be illustrated on a postcard from way back when.
Aaron Roseman Cottage
Address: 132 Decatur Street
This late 1800s Queen Anne-style home looks like it should be residing on the hilly streets of San Francisco. Also known as Cherry House, this historic home stands out with its teal and brick red colors.
