DUAL UNIT, DUAL INCOME HOME Discover unlimited potential to return this landmark home to its original glory with Cape Henlopen Lighthouse stone fireplace, maximize rental income, or collect rent while your reside or vacation. Embrace a Lewes lifestyle. Room for a swimming pool. Built in 1935 by Arthur Marshall, Grandson of John Penrose Virden, the first President of the Delaware Bay & River Pilots, 803 Savannah Road has remained in the family to this day. Over time, and prior to established zoning, the original homestead became divided into two apartments, as it remains today, as a legal nonconforming use (i. e. grandfathered). Sited on an extraordinary 75 x 200 home site, ideally situated in the Heart of Lewes, from which to enjoy the friendly, walking convenience to Lewes treasures. 803 Savannah Road is NOT in the Historic District, and NOT subject to Historic Preservation Commission guidelines.
