Property Description
"2 FOR 1" IN-TOWN LEWES INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! Unlock the incredible value with this AS-IS property in the highly sought-after community of Highland Acres, perfectly situated East of Route 1 within the city limits of Lewes, and just minutes from the pristine beaches, scenic bike trails, and world-class dining of both Lewes & Rehoboth Beach. This unique property is being sold AS-IS and offers a rare two-dwelling setup on one lush, tree-lined lot, providing a blank canvas for a visionary investor or a homeowner looking to build significant sweat equity. Whether you envision a primary residence with a separate guest suite, a dedicated home office, or a high-potential rental compound, the possibilities at 34 Sussex are limited only by your imagination. The main residence is a classic ranch-style home featuring a bright living room with original hardwood floors and a spacious country kitchen that retains its retro charm. The main level offers two bedrooms and 1.5 baths, complemented by a rustic, wood-paneled side sunroom . For those needing more space, the unfinished basement includes laundry hookups and an additional half-bath, offering a generous footprint ready to be transformed into a lower-level living area or workshop. Adding incredible value to the property is the detached, studio-style guest house. This structure boasts soaring 9'+ ceilings, skylights that flood the space with natural light, and durable slate-style tile flooring. Complete with its own kitchenette, a full bathroom, private laundry, and a lofted storage area, this secondary unit is ready for your personal touch. Properties with a secondary dwelling in this location seldom hit the market at this price point - bring your contractor and your vision to capitalize on one of the best equity-building opportunities in the Lewes area.
