HISTORIC LEWES OPPORTUNITY-LOCATION, LAND & LEGACY. The renowned Metcalf House, an iconic circa 18th-century residence, presents a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Lewes history in the heart of the Historic District. The asking price reflects the underlying land value, taking into consideration the substantial investment required to restore and renovate this distinctive property. Ideally situated just steps from Second Street’s restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, as well as Canalfront Park, the location is truly exceptional. Evolving over time from three separate homes into one unique residence, the property offers a rich history and architectural character that set it apart. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, hardwood flooring, exposed beams, two wood-burning fireplaces, a private brick patio, and a fenced yard. Substantial renovation and restoration are needed, making this an opportunity best suited for a buyer with vision, resources, and an appreciation for historic preservation. For those who recognize the enduring value of an irreplaceable downtown location and the opportunity to restore a distinctive piece of Lewes’s past, the possibilities are extraordinary. Potential eligibility for historic preservation tax credits should be independently verified.
