This home has recently undergone almost 3 years of complex renovations by some of the region’s finest craftsman each working to carefully reconstruct a space that feels modern and luxurious while restoring the home’s exquisite historic detail. Situated on almost .7 acres, this canal front home is just steps from the array of popular boutiques and restaurants of downtown Lewes. Pristine landscaping, Victorian period cast-iron fencing, Bevelo copper lights, and a wrap-around front porch all contribute to the excellent curb appeal. Upon entry, you will be in awe by the exquisite architectural detail. A unique barrel ceiling, exquisite moldings, mahogany hand-carved railings, and beautiful flooring are just some of the striking details that masterfully blend modern and historic charm. The library is situated in one of the original sections of the home. The delicate coffered ceiling is finished with gold foil and decorated with a Fortvny, hand painted, silk chandelier both casting a unique glow. An antique English mantel frames the fireplace and is surrounded by custom built-in bookcases, while oversized windows offer breathtaking views of the canal. The adjacent parlor also features oversized windows with stunning views, an intricate coffered ceiling and the original brick chimney that was carefully excavated from multiple layers of plaster. This room opens to the gourmet, chef inspired kitchen with expansive marble counters, copper pendant lighting, and a one-of-a-kind backsplash inclusive of an antique French fire plate and hand selected Dutch tiles from the 1500's and 1600's, above the custom La Cornue range. The kitchen offers unique banquette seating for more casual dining. Neighboring the kitchen, you will find an intimate formal dining area featuring wood beams salvaged from the original structure. The focal point of the dining area is the impressive, temperature-controlled wine-room. Bricks from the home’s foundation were repurposed for the ceiling while salvaged beams were hand carved to create the racking system. The rear of the home offers a more casual living area, complete with a gas fireplace decorated with Austin Stone, a limestone found in quarries throughout Texas. This room leads to a spectacular three season room complete with a wood burning fireplace, heated blue stone floors, and a retractable vinyl screening system. The porch overlooks the enchanting and private rear yard, complete with a brick patio, peaceful fountains, birdbaths and even a fig grove. This is the ideal location for summer relaxation and garden parties. Circling back to the interior, a beautiful glass breezeway will lead you to the oversized 2-car garage and staircase leading to the private guest suite. This private space includes a vaulted ceiling, custom built-ins, sitting area featuring a wood burning stove and a private, en-suite bath. The main house offers dual staircases to the 2nd level where you will find the primary suite and two additional guest bedrooms, each with luxurious en-suite baths. The primary suite offers captivating views, overlooking the canal and wetlands, a spa-style bath, and a spectacular walk-in closet. Aside from superb interior living and peaceful outdoor living, this property is a boater’s dream complete with a newly built, private, deep-water dock and boat lift. The separate, detached garage on the canal side is ideal for all your outdoor toys. This area also provides additional private parking, fire pit, and a space to relax and watch the boating traffic. This home has too many features to list and will not disappoint any buyer.
