About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to the well established community of Bay Breeze Estates! This is a great location east of Route One and just a short walk into downtown Lewes. Conveniently located close to the Breakwater Bike Trail, Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes Beach, and just a short drive to the resort town of Rehoboth Beach. This contemporary ranch home has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, split floor plan, and updated countertops. There is a new HVAC system, range, disposal, and the roof was replaced in 2016. There is ample closet space, extra storage in the attic, attached gardening shed, and a workshop/studio off the garage with split system HVAC. This property is nicely landscaped with a fully fenced private back yard. Don't miss this opportunity to own an in-town Lewes home in a quiet community and situated on a private cul-de-sac.
