118 Jefferson Avenue – Location, Charm & Timeless Upgrades. From this beautiful home, you can walk to summer concerts at Stango Park on Tuesdays or Canal Park on Thursdays, stroll to Lloyd’s Market when you run out of milk, and enjoy the farmer’s market just steps away. The Lewes bike trail is close by, offering easy access for walking and biking, while still keeping you out of the bustle of Second Street. Parking is plentiful, on both street and driveway for at least two cars. This classic Victorian has been thoughtfully restored and updated, balancing historic character with modern comfort. Recent major updates include a new roof, installed July 2022 by Bayside Exteriors, features designer shingles chosen for both beauty and 50-year durability. The shed received the same upgrade. Gutter Guys added oversized, leaf-guard gutters in August 2022. Hand-forged iron fences and gates from Krug & Sons, the oldest continuous iron company in the U.S., were custom-made in period style. Backyard is completely fenced. Three porches, including a unique upstairs porch perfect for morning coffee or evening wine and were refurbished in September 2022 with new woodwork. Lighting & Landscaping: Lewes Lighting designed garden lighting, including tree mounted fixtures, all app-controlled. Bella Terra Landscaping built a stacked-stone wall, stone sidewalks, and patio, plus installed full garden irrigation. Kitchen/Family Room has a custom bar crafted from a single 200 year old spalted maple slab by Old Wood Delaware creates a one-of-a-kind centerpiece. Below it, a handcrafted glass bookcase by local artist Sharon Rowland ties into the home’s historic character. Mechanical & Structural Improvements include three HVAC systems that serve the home. Two were replaced (2019 and June 2025) with top-of-the-line units. The home’s foundation has been replaced. Main level in 2003, first floor bedroom in 2012—providing long-term peace of mind. A commercial grade humidifier was installed but has never been needed. Full electrical lighting was installed in the crawl space, reflecting the meticulous care given to every detail. Additional Features include a classic Victorian design paired with an open kitchen and great room, ideal for entertaining. 118 Jefferson is a rare find. Historic charm, thoughtful upgrades, and a walkable location in the heart of the Lewes Historic District. This is a home where every detail has been carefully chosen for beauty, durability, and livability.
