Own a piece of Lewes history! Built in the 1920s, 901 Savannah Road incorporates remnants of the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse, lost to sea in 1926: the gas fireplace in the living room contains stone from the lighthouse and the gracefully arched front door is said to be from the lighthouse keepers' cottage. In addition to these pieces of history, the first floor features three built in bookcases in the living room, a dining room with two built-in glass front corner cupboards, a well laid out kitchen with large pantry and breakfast room, and a generous primary bedroom with en suite full bathroom and private attached dressing room. In the back of the home, you'll find another living space with wood burning fireplace, loft, closet, and half-bath. The focal point of the first floor, though, is the breezeway, which opens via sliding doors to a well-maintained cottage garden featured on the Lewes Garden Tour. The backyard is enclosed by a wood fence and there's plenty of room to entertain on the brick patio. On the second floor, you'll enjoy two more large bedrooms, a full bathroom with closet, large closets, an office, and a storage attic. The working cellar space contains room for a large office, built in bookcase with drawers and shelves, another large storage closet, an extra fridge, a washer, a dryer, a half-bath, a work bench and shelves, and a utility sink. In the past few years, the seller has meticulously maintained the residence and made many improvements, including a new roof, three zone geothermal HVAC, new Marvin integrity windows throughout, and a roomy rebuilt shed. This stunning home is minutes from the Lewes Public Library, the Junction & Breakwater Trail, and Lewes Beach. 901 Savannah is known locally as the Harrington House and now it can be yours! Schedule your tour today.
Too Charming for Words, this remarkable home features a fireplace constructed from Cape Henlopen Lighthouse stone. You'll love sitting on your brick patio with trellis, looking out into the beautiful English Garden. This home boasts hardwood floors and crown molding throughout & numerous built-ins.
