About this home
Nestled in a suburban enclave a mile from Lewes Beach, this exquisite Victorian residence, originally built in 1898 and masterfully renovated over the years, offers a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Exposed beams and crown moldings add a touch of elegance, while the warmth of hardwood floors throughout creates a welcoming ambiance. Natural light floods the home through skylights and large windows, enhancing the beauty of the stained glass accents. With four spacious bedrooms and three and a half well appointed bathrooms, this home is designed for both comfort and sophistication. Not one, but two primary suites boasting luxurious en-suite full bathrooms and a walk-in closet, which is a rare feature in a Victorian. One of these primary suites is on the entry level making one level living easy. The kitchen features a generous island, an induction cooktop, wall ovens and a delightful breakfast area, making it a culinary haven of enjoyment with high end appliances for any home chef. The back wall of the kitchen has glass panels that slide and tuck away, expanding the kitchen into the large enclosed porch with vinyl windows that slide open to reveal screens, perfect for sipping morning coffee or evening cocktails. The exterior of the property is equally impressive, featuring beautifully landscaped front and rear yards that provide a tranquil garden view. There is a shed with an updated window for gardening, an art studio or anything else you desire. The property is equipped with modern conveniences, including a tankless water heater and a dedicated laundry area on the main floor. Parking is a treasured breeze with a detached garage and ample driveway space for guests. This property is not just a home; it's a lifestyle. Experience the perfect blend of historic elegance and contemporary comfort with the central heating and air conditioning, modern plumbing and 200 amp electric. The sun room has a separate split system for enjoyment through many temperatures adding to your living space although that area is not included in the square footage of this home. Embrace the opportunity to make this stunning Victorian your own, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated for an exceptional living experience. Take a deep breath and enjoy the slow pace of 25 mph in this walkable part of town. You have quick access to phenomenal dining, an incredible walking and bike path and the beach, of course. Seller financing option available at lower than market rates. Please have your agent inquire about details. Private appointments are available....
