Set on one of the most desirable lots in Acadia Landing, this nearly new Lewes home delivers serious upside. With a price more than $75,000 below comparable new construction and over $50,000 already invested in upgrades, this is a rare opportunity to step into a finished, elevated home without the wait, the noise, or the added expense. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a premium perimeter lot, the home offers privacy that’s increasingly hard to find. No surrounding construction, no rear neighbors, just a calm setting designed for everyday comfort and easy entertaining. Inside, the home feels polished and intentional from the start. Soaring ceilings, wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, detailed trim work, plantation shutters, and layered lighting create a clean, upscale aesthetic throughout the main living areas. The kitchen anchors the home and was built to impress. A large quartz island with seating sets the stage for hosting, while double wall ovens, a gas cooktop with custom wood hood, built-in microwave, subway tile backsplash, and a generous pantry deliver both form and function. Designer blown-glass pendants sourced from France add a striking focal point without overpowering the space. The open layout flows effortlessly into the great room and dining area, then continues into a vaulted morning room filled with natural light. From there, step outside to a beautifully designed paver patio and a fully fenced, southwest-facing backyard. Afternoon sun, evening sunsets, and a landscaped buffer provide the ideal backdrop for gatherings or quiet downtime. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and a spa-inspired bath with dual quartz vanities, an oversized Roman shower with frameless glass enclosure, and a custom California walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the main level offer flexibility for guests or home office space. Upstairs, a spacious loft, private guest suite, and full bath create a separate living zone perfect for extended stays or multigenerational living. All guest bathrooms are finished with quartz-topped vanities, tiled floors, and fully tiled shower walls, continuing the home’s cohesive, high-end feel. Additional features include a charming front porch, a two-car garage with an oversized storage area, and lawn care fully handled by the community. Acadia Landing offers resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and tennis and pickleball courts, all designed for low-maintenance, high-quality living. With natural gas, energy-efficient construction, low property taxes, and modest HOA dues, the cost of living stays refreshingly reasonable. Best of all, you’re just minutes from Lewes beaches, downtown shopping, and some of the area’s best dining. This is not a builder basic. This is a thoughtfully upgraded home, in the right location, at the right price, ready to be enjoyed now.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
