Perfectly positioned on DeVries Circle in the heart of Lewes, this extraordinary five-bedroom, four-bath historic residence is a true architectural gem—rich in provenance, thoughtfully expanded, and beautifully updated for modern living. Steeped in local history, the home uniquely incorporates elements from the iconic Cape Henlopen Lighthouse, lost at sea in 1926. Among its treasured features, the arched front door is said to have originated from the lighthouse keeper’s cottage—an irreplaceable detail that anchors the home’s storied past. The main residence welcomes you with abundant natural light, timeless built-ins, and a gas fireplace that creates a warm and inviting gathering space. Two first-floor primary suites offer exceptional flexibility. The main primary retreat features an oversized walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a beautifully tiled step-in shower designed with both comfort and sophistication in mind. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets provide generous accommodations, along with a spacious attic offering extensive storage. Through a stunning breezeway, you’ll discover a private secondary primary suite complete with built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, full bath, and loft—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a secluded retreat. The refinished basement has been thoughtfully transformed to include an additional bedroom, a versatile flex room, and a distinctive speakeasy—perfect for entertaining in style. Blending historic integrity with meaningful enhancements, the home has been expanded to include two additional bedrooms and two full baths while preserving its original character. Modern comforts include three-zoned geothermal heating and cooling and Marvin Integrity windows throughout. Outdoors, a stunning courtyard-style backyard offers exceptional privacy with a fenced enclosure and a versatile shed equipped with a mini-split system—perfectly suited for a gym, studio, or additional flex space. Enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle just moments from the scenic Junction & Breakwater Trail, the beloved Station on Kings, and the Lewes Public Library—with downtown Lewes less than half a mile away. This is more than a home; it is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Lewes history
