Step back in time with this beautifully preserved 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence in the heart of downtown Lewes. Located on Doctors’ Row, one of the town’s most storied historic streets, this limited commercial/residential property blends architectural heritage with modern coastal convenience—just minutes from restaurants, boutique shopping, and the shores of Lewes Beach.

Built in 1901, the home’s brick façade and expansive west-facing front porch set the stage for timeless charm. Inside, you’ll find 10-foot ceilings, chestnut pocket doors, bull’s-eye wood trim, and arched transom windows—a showcase of craftsmanship rarely seen today. Oak and heart pine floors add warmth throughout, while built-in cabinets and exposed brick nod to the home’s authentic character.

The spacious living and dining rooms are filled with natural light, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet evenings. A formal dining room, accented by a vintage built-in china cabinet, flows into a large eat-in kitchen featuring black-and-white checkerboard tile, a stamped tin ceiling, and a window over the sink that invites the morning sun. A cozy sunroom just off the kitchen offers a peaceful space for reading or coffee breaks, while a powder room adds convenience on the main floor.

Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms continue the home’s historic charm with hardwood floors and classic details, while the full bathroom maintains its period authenticity. The full, unfinished walk-out basement offers ample storage or potential for future customization.

Outside, a charming English garden filled with mature hydrangeas and shaded nooks creates a private oasis in the heart of town. From the elevated front porch, enjoy peaceful views of the tree-lined street and golden evening light.

With no rental restrictions, this property is an exceptional opportunity for a vacation rental, private residence, or live/work space in one of Delaware’s most coveted coastal communities. Combining rich history, architectural beauty, and a walkable location just under a mile from the beach, this home captures the essence of Historic Lewes living.
