About This Home

25 S. Shore Dr, Lincoln — Peaceful Cedar Creek Living with Room to Make It Your Own

Welcome to 25 S. Shore Dr, a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home with over 1,700 sq. ft. of easy one-floor living, located on the edge of scenic Cedar Creek in the quiet community of Lincoln. Whether you're looking to downsize, right-size, or simply escape the cost and wait of new construction, this home offers solid value, a beautiful setting, and real potential to make it your own.

Step through the foyer into a light-filled living room with cathedral ceilings and a welcoming, open feel. A cozy sunroom offers the perfect place to start your day or wind down in the evening, with peaceful views. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a sunny breakfast area for casual meals, plus a formal dining room that’s ideal for hosting holidays and special occasions. The home features low-maintenance laminate flooring, an easy layout, and plenty of flexible space to suit your lifestyle.

The three bedrooms are well-sized, with two full baths offering convenience and privacy. Major systems have already been addressed—this home features a young HVAC system and water heater, both just about 3 years old. The septic system has been inspected. The septic inspection and a property survey are provided to the buyer. The crawl space has been fully waterproofed and encapsulated, adding long-term value and protection. These high-ticket items are already done, saving you thousands and giving you confidence from day one.

Step outside to enjoy a vinyl privacy fence, a spacious deck for entertaining or relaxing, and peaceful surroundings with Cedar Creek just beyond your backyard—ideal for birdwatching, kayaking, or simply enjoying nature’s quiet beauty.

Lincoln is a small, welcoming community located between Ellendale and Milford—just minutes from Route 1, yet tucked away from the hustle. You’re less than an hour from popular Delaware beaches like Lewes and Rehoboth, and just 20 minutes from Slaughter Beach, a quiet gem along the bay with walking trails, sand, and water views.
Explore nature at nearby Abbott’s Mill Nature Center, featuring over 370 acres of trails and year-round events like “Music at the Mill.” Dining and shopping in historic Milford are just minutes away—try The Georgia House for classic fare, Arena’s for casual eats, or The Executive for upscale dining. Downtown Milford also offers art strolls, festivals, parks, and a thriving riverwalk. Healthcare is close and convenient, with Bayhealth Hospital – Sussex Campus nearby, providing full-service care including emergency and specialty services.
