Property Description

Own a rare piece of Lewes history with this charming “Fisherman's Cottage” (circa 1720), just steps from the shops and restaurants of downtown. One of the town's earliest surviving residences, the home was originally built along the Lewes–Rehoboth Canal and relocated to Third Street around 1900. It later served the community as a grocery store for over 60 years before being moved to its current site, expanded, and incorporated into a physician's office, with the rear addition. The property has been used as a private residence since 1996.

Rich in character, the home features classic cypress shingles, wide-plank floors, and a cozy corner fireplace. The thoughtfully designed 2007 addition blends seamlessly with the original structure, showcasing variable-width reclaimed hardwood floors from a Pennsylvania factory and rustic ceiling beams. Abundant windows and French doors fill the home with natural light and offer beautiful garden views.

Enjoy peaceful outdoor living on the tiled screened porch—perfect for relaxing while watching hummingbirds in the garden. The landscaped grounds, featured on the Lewes Garden Tour, boast a vibrant mix of perennials, including crepe myrtles, star magnolia, columnar oak, and a sour cherry tree. A large detached structure at the rear offers endless potential for storage, studio space, or future use.
