About This Home

As of June 2021

LIVE THE LEWES LIFE from this 1878 former Rehoboth Beach Life-Saving Station, now home, located within Historical Shipcarpenter Square in Downtown Lewes! A true one-of-a-kind that has been restored & updated for modern living! Rebuilt to its original 1878 appearance, this unique home features refinished original heart-of-pine hardwood flooring & original solid wood interior doors throughout, original tongue-and-groove horizontal wood paneled wall in the great room that frames the former boat entrance, a light-filled primary bedroom with natural light pouring down from the windows of the former watchtower, of which the original access steps now serve as the wall-attached headboard, an updated eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar & gas cooktop that leads to the sunroom & enclosed porch addition that mimics the original structure's "lean-to" boat house addition, and so much more that has to be seen in person to truly appreciate! Other features include a detached 2-car garage with 2nd level workshop, and a beautifully landscaped backyard with brick patio, coy pond, and outdoor shower. Within walking distance to the Canal Front Park, Farmers Market, Downtown Shopping & Dining and the Bay Beach! Schedule your showing today!
