LEWES LIFESTYLE - Experience the quintessential Lewes lifestyle from the heart of the Historic District at the renowned 'Metcalf House,' a circa 18th-century residence rich in architectural character and local history. Originally evolving over time from three separate homes into one distinctive property, this unique residence offers an exceptional opportunity for restoration, preservation, and personalization. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, hardwood flooring throughout, exposed beams, two wood-burning fireplaces, a private brick patio, and fenced yard, the home showcases timeless historic charm with endless potential. Eligible historical property restoration tax credits may be available for qualifying renovations, creating added value for preservation enthusiasts, investors, or buyers seeking a one-of-a-kind historic coastal home. Ideally located just steps from Second Street's restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, as well as Canalfront Park, with easy bike access to the beach and Delaware Bay, this is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Lewes history.
