Property Description
Own a timeless piece of Historic Lewes - where coastal charm, walkability, and rich heritage come together to create one of Delaware's most sought-after lifestyles. Nestled on picturesque Church Street, this beautifully renovated early-1900s Cape Cod blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates, offering the rare opportunity to live where you can easily walk in the heart of the First Town in the First State. Imagine mornings biking to the beach or grabbing coffee downtown, afternoons exploring the canal and state park trails, and evenings by the fire after dinner at your favorite local restaurant - this is the Lewes lifestyle buyers dream about. Inside, warm hardwood floors and inviting living spaces reflect the home's historic roots while providing everyday comfort. A cozy family room off the kitchen and a spacious dining area create the perfect setting for gatherings, while the upgraded kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and modern countertops. With three bedrooms and two full baths, the home balances charm with functionality. A wood-burning fireplace adds ambiance for cooler coastal nights, and the attic offers potential to expand living space in the future. Step outside to a beautifully maintained fenced yard with landscaped gardens, patio space for al fresco dining, and an outdoor shower - ideal after long beach days. Large oversized shed gives ample space for all your beach gear and additional storage. The private driveway provides off street parking, a rare convenience in Historic Lewes. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, coastal retreat, or a legacy property rich with history and character, this home captures the essence of life in Lewes - where every street tells a story and every day feels like a getaway.
