Set on an extraordinarily oversized homesite in the heart of Historic Lewes, this distinctive residence offers a combination of architectural character, remarkable outdoor… Read More space, and an unbeatable location that is virtually impossible to find elsewhere in town. The expansive property offers a level of space and privacy rarely associated with in-town living, along with room to create an exceptional outdoor retreat, including the potential for a swimming pool. The home's distinctive architecture immediately sets it apart, with its charming turret, welcoming wraparound porch, classic detailing, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Inside, light-filled living spaces showcase exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful finishes throughout. Classic hardwood and tile flooring extend across the entire main level, while the inviting kitchen flows effortlessly into the living room, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining, while the sunroom offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee and the attached three-season room provides another wonderful place to relax and enjoy the garden views. The home's thoughtful layout offers comfortable private spaces for owners and guests alike, with a primary suite conveniently located on the main level and additional guest accommodations upstairs. Outside, the expansive grounds are truly extraordinary by in-town Lewes standards. Beautifully manicured landscaping, a charming fenced garden, and generous outdoor spaces create a private setting with possibilities rarely found so close to downtown. Imagine summer afternoons by a future pool, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquility of your own garden retreat. An oversized three-car garage and generous off-street driveway parking add another layer of convenience and functionality. And then there's the location. Leave the car at home and stroll to the boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and waterfront attractions along Second Street. Enjoy a walk along the canal, spend an afternoon at Lewes Beach, or bike to Cape Henlopen State Park. Distinctive in every way, this is more than a beautiful home in Historic Lewes. It is a truly exceptional property offering a combination of architecture, land, privacy, outdoor possibilities, and location that is rarely, if ever, available. Read Less
