About This Home

As of August 2019

CLASSIC MODERN ON THE WATERFRONT! Luxury and history meet in this fantastic Pilottown Road treasure! Brilliant evolution shines in this impeccably restored property, which includes a picturesque waterfront parcel across the street, complete with 5 boat slips and wide-open views. Originally built in 1850 and known as "The Light Keeper's House," this model property was renovated in 1890, again in the 1950s, and perfected in 2004. The home progressively revealed exposed beams, added crown mouldings and wide base boards, and two additions to the main home while retaining and preserving random width heart pine floors. Gourmet kitchen with Wolf 6-burner range, professional grade stainless appliances and brilliant counter tops bridges historic charm and modern expectations. Amazingly lush, large backyard too! Make this the summer you relax on one of several idyllic porches on the canal, or within beautiful curated gardens. Truly one of the absolute best of Lewes!
