Description

This spacious 6-bedroom, 4 full-bath, 2 half-bath home in Lewes offers over 4,000 square feet of living space, making it ideal for large families or as a high-capacity vacation rental. The layout is thoughtfully designed with three bedrooms on the main level—including a primary suite with dual walk-in closets—and three more upstairs, including a semi-private secondary suite, providing flexibility for guests, kids, or home office setups. The open floor plan connects the living room, sunroom, and kitchen, creating a central hub for everyday living. The modern kitchen includes durable granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, with a breakfast nook that’s perfect for casual meals. Hardwood and tile floors throughout the first floor make cleaning easy and help keep maintenance low. Outside, the property includes a patio, porch, and outdoor shower—great for beach days or summer rentals. The landscaping is simple to maintain, and the home sits on a 10,454 sq ft lot with a fenced in backyard, paved driveway and a two-door, two-car garage, plus plenty of additional parking. Location is a standout feature: you're just a leisurely walk from downtown Lewes' shops and restaurants or the award-winning Lewes Farmers Market, and a short bike ride to Lewes' beaches and Henlopen State Park. A house this size and with plentiful parking, is rare this close to downtown Lewes. The HOA is minimal and unobtrusive—just $20 per year—covering basic common area maintenance and standards, without imposing on your lifestyle or budget. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence with room to grow or a vacation property with strong rental potential, this home checks all the boxes for space, convenience, and value.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
