The Morning Star Villa in Cape May, New Jersey is a one-of-a-kind historic jewel!

This beautiful structure was originally built in 1884.

It is notable because in 1893, a fourth floor was added above the mansard roof, giving the building a very unusual visual effect.

Zoned residential/commercial, the Morning Star Villa is one of the country’s oldest beach resort destinations.

Interestingly, in May of 1967, the entire building was moved one mile.

Try as she might, House Crazy Sarah could not find a reason why this move was done.

Hurricane flooding mitigation perhaps?  If anyone knows, please share!

In any case the large, striking building looks right at home in its current spot.

The Morning Star Villa is comprised of vacation condos for rent or sale, many of them fully furnished.

Depending on where in the building the unit is located, prices ranges from $369,000 to $520,000.

Let’s have a look inside a rental unit.
