Enjoy one of Lewes' most sought-after combinations: walkability to downtown and the tranquility of a preserve-backed homesite. Rarely available in Pilottown Village, this beautifully maintained home offers an exceptional location just 0.8 miles from downtown Lewes and only the fourth house from the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal. Situated on a spacious 0.28-acre lot, the property backs directly to the Fourth Street Preserve—a protected natural area undergoing reforestation with public walking trails and land that can NEVER be developed—creating a peaceful backdrop and scenic views year-round.
Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a fully remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring throughout, and a new roof installed in 2020. The inviting front entry opens to a dramatic great room with hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Filled with natural light, the kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a skylight, farmhouse sink, upgraded countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast nook, and direct access to the rear deck.
The main-level primary suite offers hardwood flooring, a walk-in closet, and a private ensuite bath with a step-in shower. Upstairs, a grand staircase leads to two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
Outdoor living is a highlight of the property. The expansive rear deck overlooks the Fourth Street Preserve, creating a private setting for relaxing or entertaining. A four-season sunroom with tile flooring provides additional living space and a comfortable place to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty year-round. An outdoor shower offers the perfect place to rinse off after a day at the beach or cruising through nature with easy access to all the local bike trails right from your driveway.
Combining an unbeatable Lewes location, extensive updates, protected preserve views, and easy access to downtown shops, restaurants, beaches, and the canal, this Pilottown Village gem presents a rare opportunity to experience the very best of coastal Delaware living.
