About This Home

As of April 2021

Historic Lewes Charm describes this deceptively large 4BR, 3BA in-town cottage. Once featured in “This Old House” and a recipient of the “Historic Preservation Award”, this Lewes Home should not be overlooked. A welcoming front porch greets you and leads to the open floorplan that is flooded with natural light. You are sure to be wowed by the special features at every turn. The original hardwoods have the aged patina that only time provides. The rooms are decorated with restored doors, barn doors and interesting hardware with subtle coastal accents. With all new mechanicals, kitchen, baths and windows, this historic cottage meshes old world charm with modern day conveniences. The home’s second level offers a private setting for guest complete with a private bath and sitting area. The spacious rear yard offers the most intimate setting for outdoor entertaining. The list of features are endless. Where else can you walk to everything that Lewes has to offer? Right off the bike trail, and walking distance to Lewes Beach. The quintessential beach cottage is here and will certainly not last long!
