Property Description
THE COLEMAN HOUSE: A LEGACY OFFERING IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN LEWES! Where timeless architecture meets refined coastal living, the “Coleman House” stands as a rare and distinguished offering in the heart of downtown Lewes. Rich in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this classic Colonial is a testament to enduring craftsmanship - where every detail tells a story and every space invites the next chapter. A light and intentional renovation preserves the home’s historic soul while introducing elevated comforts. The newly designed kitchen serves as the centerpiece: appointed with quartz countertops, a bespoke butcher block island, and premium stainless steel appliance; blending warmth and sophistication for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The addition of a first-floor primary suite creates a private sanctuary, complete with a beautifully finished en-suite bath. Upstairs, two additional bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, complementing spacious guest bedrooms filled with natural light and character. Original architectural elements remain beautifully intact, including random-width pine floors, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, and custom built-ins; details that speak to a level of craftsmanship seldom found today. Set on an oversized parcel, the grounds offer a secluded outdoor retreat rarely available in downtown Lewes. Enjoy a resort-style in-ground pool, mature landscaping, a dedicated garden space, and a detached two-car garage, creating an exceptional balance of privacy and proximity. Just moments from boutique shopping, fine dining, and the beach, this is more than a home, it is a generational opportunity to own a piece of Lewes history.Property Details
